Sometimes it takes very little to make a huge change in your living room. Just use a few decorative details or a new ornate pillow, replace your coffee table or lamp, introduce an additional pouffe or stool or add a comfortable, modern armchair to the leisure set. In the latest Gala Collezione catalogue you can find a lot of inspiration for selecting accessories to liven up or totally change the atmosphere of your living room.
Sometimes it takes very little to make a huge change in your living room and create a different mood.
Give the interior character
Start with the walls. You should definitely check if they need refreshing. Maybe you are bored with the colour or you can see some cracks or scratches. Then it might be a good idea to paint, wallpaper or repair them. However, if you do not have the time, ability or desire to perform such renovation, you can use another solution – stickers that will decorate and at the same time cover an ugly fragment of the wall. Sometimes a good solution is to hang a picture or photo that will beautifully diversify the interior.
The key to building the living room’s atmosphere is the choice of colours. Since most time at your home is spent in the living room, make sure that you feel comfortable in this interior. Select colours that will allow you to unwind and relax, but also gather positive energy. Remember that colours are visible not only on the walls, but also on both cabinet and upholstered furniture, and any accessories, such as curtains, bedspreads, pillows, pictures, carpets, etc. The more colours and patterns you introduce to the living room, the harder it is to arrange them well.
colour combination will let you calm down after a long day instead of tiring you. A light wall shade is definitely a good and neutral background for colourful accessories. On the other hand, strong bright or dark colours on the walls will make the room seem smaller and more gloomier. Play with bright, subdued accessories and light to brighten up and bring harmony into the interior.
The devil is in the detail
What can you do to create a pleasant mood and a harmoniously composed interior? Above all, avoid too many knickknacks and visual mess. If you plan to change the design of your living room, consider which accessories will add to its atmosphere and which will make it feel cluttered and excessive. Pay attention to details – maybe a single effective accessory (such as a very colourful carpet, an extravagant armchair, a decorative cushion pleasing to the eye, an interesting curtain) will work better than too many of them?
Inconspicuous decorations, such as decorative pillows that match the entire arrangement, will perfectly complement the room design.
Small decorations such as picture frames, vases or candlesticks will create a cosy, home atmosphere, and at the same time will make the interior effective.
Function and decoration combined
The selection of accessories is essential in smaller interiors, so that they have useful functions in addition to their decorative role. A decorative cushion can be great as a side pillow put under the lumbar spine or as a bolster, while a stool or pouffe with a container may be used as an additional seat or a place to store handy small items. Small rooms like bright colours, as then they seem larger and more spacious. If you add a strong visual accent to a bright-coloured living room, such as an armchair in a vivid, rich colour or a patterned carpet, the entire interior will immediately become well-defined.
