Which is the most important room besides the kitchen? The living room of course! And it becomes even more important when shared by a big family of five. See how our interior designers turned the outdated living room into a calming space for a relaxed and cosy time together.
Before the makeover
This living room was quite a typical example of a room that has been left to renovate "later". The family has tried to make it more cosy by adding photos and other personal things, but the colour scheme was not thought through, while the overall impression was still a bit chaotic and not finished.
One for all and everyone
Overall, this living room is rather small for a family of five. But there is always a solution, such as a practical sofa-bed that can accommodate the whole family at once and, if there's a need, can become the parent's bed.
A naturally cosy space for the whole family
To bring more light in the living room, our interior designers decided to keep the colour palette down to earth with nuances of sand, air and water. The closeness to nature is felt in the natural materials like wood, cotton and jute and in the overall cosy impression.In the corner near the window there is a storage and children's area combination with deeper cabinets at the lowest level and some more shallow ones above, so the flow of light would not be disturbed.
An accent wall to stand out and to unite
The room has an elongated floor plan, so our interior designers decided to compensate the visual effect with an accent wall that creates an optical illusion of being nearer and thus shortens the room visually. The textured wall also acts as a background for the TV and the furniture, softening the stark contrasts between the light and dark furniture.
