The design of the components of a house begins with the planning of the space. A living room not only brings all the members of the family together, but facilitates a number of activities such as entertainment and gatherings. A corner of a spacious living room could well serve as a valuable small office with communication, Internet and printing facilities. Create a welcoming aura for family and guests with a promise of relaxation and serenity. An aesthetically well designed contemporary living room will take your breath away.

The interior spaces will depend on the design choice and also on the cost factor, which decides many things. If the space becomes congested, a large living room would subtract from the bedrooms and the passageways, kitchen and bathrooms. A compromise will have to be worked out well, with the family deciding the priorities. However, a spacious living room has many advantages.

Residences often represent a company or philosophy that finds expression, perhaps in the entryway, doorway, and interiors as well. The whole setup would work like a great advertisement and rightly so. Get down to work fixing the room with an adequate budget. If there are renovations to be done, it is well worth the effort, time and expense. The spirit of the home often depends on the living room that is common for everyone and also for the guests.

Expenses on furniture and carpets, curtains and cushions

Luxuries aside, certain aspects such as abundant lighting, curtains and furniture, cushions and rugs are essential, the more colorful the better, matching or contrasting with walls and floors, depending on the planned effect. Ornaments such as works of art and show pieces elevate the mood and feelings. Electronics has become mandatory nowadays.

A new construction has many advantages

While additions and renovations can be challenging, a new building presents exciting and dynamic possibilities. A palatial living room, perhaps encased in glass, with a view sailing through greenery or the blue sea could be mesmerizing. Not every living room can achieve a fairytale effect, but designs can create wonders that look like masterpieces.

What would be the dominant color scheme? Many people opt for minimalist grays and browns, creams and yellows. Those are fine, but a dramatic effect is achieved by introducing a couple of dark, bright shades of red or blue. The calming impact with a clear expression remains with a bolt of lightning-like effect. Contemporary themes would work well with some luxurious marble mosaics on the floor or walls.
