Red White & Blue Coastal Living Room

Fresh Start Interiors

This family wanted a cheerful casual coastal living room. We brought in lots of pattern and a red/white/navy palette to drive home the coastal look. The formerly red brick gas fireplace was wrapped in ship lap and given a custom hemlock mantel shelf. We also added an accent wall with navy grasscloth wallpaper that beautifully sets off the ivory sofa and unique wooden boat wreath.

Tiffany avait besoin d'aide pour acheter son 1er appartement. Quand elle a visité celui là, au départ, elle n'était pas convaincue. Mais WherDeco qui l'a accompagné lors de sa visite, lui a montré grâce à un plan 3D tout le potentiel de ce 2 pièces sans vie. Cela lui a permis de mieux se projeter et de faire une offre. Quelques mois plus tard, Tiffany est ravie si l'on en juge par le commentaire qu'elle nous a laissé sur notre page d'accueil.

Living room redecoration

At Home by Design

The scheme of this room was designed around the fantastic Matthew Williamson Fanfare wallpaper, which reflects the light. The fan is brought into play in the travel artefacts that adorn the room. The bright, jewel colours make it warm and inviting in the evening, providing a cosy place to share a bottle of wine in front of the fire.

Private Residence Cambridge

SLC Interior Design

A cosy living room and eclectic bar area seamlessly merged, through the use of a simple yet effective colour palette and furniture placement. The bar was a bespoke design and placed in such away that the architectural features, which were dividing the room, would be incorporated and therefore no longer be predominant. The period beams, on the walls, were further enhanced by setting them against a contemporary colour, and wallpaper, with the wood element carried through to the new floor and bar.

The aim of the living room was to enrich the area with texture and a vibrant colour palette to make up for the lack of architectural features. The client wanted to prioritise the use of durable materials that can stand the test of time style and functionality. Using natural materials, like solid wood, was a must.

Einraum-Apartment 26m²

Tiny House Strategie für kleine Räume

Shankar lebt in seinem Ein-Zimmer-Apartment auf gerade mal 26m² in München. Das meiste Leben spielt sich in dem Hauptraum ab, Essen, Arbeiten, Schlafen auf einem Schrankbett und Fernsehen auf einem Gästesofa. Mit der Tiny House Strategie für kleine Wohnungen wurde Shankars Wohnung so richtig umgekrempelt. Im Bad wurde ein besonderes Augenmerk auf ausreichend Stauraum sowie pflegeleichtes Design gelegt. Shankars Küche ist 2qm groß. In seiner neuen Küche wurden 50% Prozent mehr Stauraum untergebracht. Es wurde Platz für ein Mikrowellen – Ofengerät sowie Einbaukochfeld gefunden sowie mehr Stauraum geschaffen. Die Küche ist zudem freundlich, hell und ergonomisch. Ein paar Wochen nach Fertigstellung des Projekts hat Shankar mich angerufen und begeistert erzählt, dass er sich viel gesünder ernährt, er hat angefangen Sport zu machen und was er vorher sich überhaupt nicht getraut hat, er lädt jetzt Freunde zu sich nach Hause ein. Die Erfahrung von Shankar ist beispielhaft für das Zitat von Sir Winston Churchill: „Zuerst prägt der Mensch den Raum, dann prägt der Raum den Menschen“. Shankar hat den Einfluss seiner Wohnung auf seine Gewohnheiten unmittelbar gespürt.

Living Design Ideas with Blue Walls and Wallpaper

The best room for gathering with your family and friends in a cosy environment is your living room or family room. You want to hang out where the lounge furniture is the most comfortable and sofas or chairs create a sense of homeliness. Filling this important space with cheap furniture is unlikely to bring you the same long-lasting comfort as a quality chaise lounge or a couch. These choices will directly affect the quality of your evenings as you wind down from the daily grind. While planning a renovation or redesign, weigh up the priorities of seating, heating, an entertainment unit and bookcases. Identify your main activity in the room and and design around that. Many living rooms aren't complete without a fireplace, but if you can't accommodate that, invest in built-in or furniture that suits your home. Common trends include Danish furniture and other kinds of Scandinavian furniture. Plush sofas, recliner chairs and sofa beds will always be popular. Finally, when the big components are planned out, think about what colour scheme and decor will best suit you and your family. If needed, an interior designer can help here.

Should I include a fireplace in my living room or family room?

Depending on your climate, a fireplace might be a great way to add warmth and interest to your living space. Even if your location is warm year-round, you can always add a faux fireplace or nonfunctioning fireplace as part of your decor. There are many options to choose from, so be sure to check them out. A wood-burning fireplace gives an authentic experience, though a gas one still emits heat without the mess. A double-sided or corner unit strays from the ordinary, or you can go with a wood stove fireplace if you're looking for a piece of art. If you want a contemporary touch, veer away from the traditional wood or tile mantel by going with stone, concrete or metal instead.

What kind of built-ins should I add to my living room?

Although it might not seem glamorous, having enough storage is instrumental when it comes to keeping the room organised and practical. Built-in bookcases, shelves and cabinets are a great way to add hidden, functional storage for all the knickknacks you accumulate. Movie and gaming buffs will love a custom entertainment centre, with enough cabinets for movies, speakers and electronic accessories; you can even create a media room with a projector and lounge chairs! If you still have room to spare, include a booth for homework or craft projects.

How do I decorate my home interiors?

When it comes to decorating, neutrals are always the safe option because they look good and never go out of style. They also give any artwork you hang enough breathing space. If you do want to try out a bolder colour scheme, add colour with walls and accessories. That way, if you get sick of a colour, you can quickly repaint the walls and find new knickknacks, instead of having to replace your sofas every time trends change. Popular colours include blue, green and grey, but don't be afraid to try bright colours like red or yellow, even if it's just on an accent wall. Finally, make sure there is plenty of light. Recessed or track lighting are great ways to hit every corner — better yet, add more natural light by installing additional windows or a skylight.
