CASA RAFFAELLA - tra bianco e castagno sbiancato

JFD - Juri Favilli Design

Ristrutturare e Arredare questa casa al mare in Liguria è stata per lo Studio d’Interior Design JFD Milano Monza, l’occasione per dare valore ad un appartamento comprato pochissimi anni prima, ma che non era mai stato curato nella Progettazione degli Interni. La casa al mare è il luogo dove si va per trovare pace e relax! L’intero appartamento è stato valorizzato con un pavimento in parquet di rovere naturale, a doga media, ma è nella zona giorno che il progetto di Interior Design Sartoriale trova la sua vera espressione. In un ambiente unico caratterizzato da elementi disarmonici gli uni con gli altri, il progetto di ristrutturazione e arredamento su misura ha risolto lo spazio con un gesto che è andato ad abbracciare le varie funzioni della zona giorno: l’ingresso con l’area living dei divani e della libreria-mobile TV, la cucina e la dispensa che funge da cannocchiale prospettico dando profondità e carattere a Casa Raffaella tutta giocata tra la luminosità del bianco, e l’essenza di legno rovere e castagno.

Coppell W Bethel School Rd. Living Room Design

Integrated Home Improvement

This living room is adjacent to the kitchen we designed and remodeled for the same Coppell client on W Bethel School Rd. Our purpose here was to design a more functional, modern living room space, in order to match the new kitchen look and feel and get a fresher feeling for the whole family to spend time together, as well as heighten their hospitality ability for guests. This living room design extends the white oak herringbone floor to the rest of the downstairs area and updates the furniture with mostly West Elm and Restoration Hardware selections. This living room also features a niched tv, updated fireplace, and a custom Nogal tv stand and bookshelf.

A living room, often referred to as a lounge room in Australia and New Zealand, is the hub of the home. If you only have one living room in the house, it’s likely to serve multiple purposes: be it a place to watch TV, play games, spend quality time with family or hang out with friends. If you have the luxury of two living areas, one is usually a formal living room or lounge room, reserved for reading, relaxing and entertaining. A successful living room design is inviting, has enough seating for the whole clan – a comfortable couch is a must – and encourages conversation. Browse photos on Houzz for living room layouts, furniture and decor, and strike up a conversation with the interior designers or architects of your favourite picks.

Which living room layouts will work best for you?

Every living area will have design challenges. A long, narrow lounge room, for example, risks looking like a hallway if furniture is lined up against the walls. Instead, opt for small furniture items, like a cosy two-seater couch, and create various focal points throughout the space. In square living rooms, a symmetrical layout encourages a formal setting. Place seating on either side of the room, with a focal point in the middle to pull the room together. For a truly intimate vibe, replace your couch with some occasional chairs positioned around a coffee table or ottoman. This will make the main focus conversation. An open-plan home – one where the lines are blurred between kitchen, dining and living – may require a layout that focuses on definition. You’ll want to make sure furniture doesn’t block the flow between spaces, and instead use something like an area rug to create zones.

How can you decorate your living room?

The living room can be a place in which to show off your personality, but if you want a timeless living room scheme, stick to neutral walls, couches and ottomans. Colour can be added through accessories, and is a lot more interchangeable! Rugs, cushions and throws are great for adding colour, while mirrors, lamps and ceiling lights will set the mood. Make your living room unique by including family heirlooms and photos. For a polished look, try creating a coffee table vignette – you could use books as pedestals or group items together on a tray. Try adding a vase, a mixture of round and rectangular objects and some books.

What are some small living room ideas?

Small living room designs can be tricky to work with, but aren’t doomed to fail. Often, you just have to get creative with furniture. An open-back chaise can create a sense of spaciousness, while small side tables paired together can substitute a coffee table. Even better, an ottoman can be used as a footrest, coffee table or extra seating. Big furniture items like the couch are best kept in light colours, and if there’s room for a coffee table, a glass-top one is best. If you have two spaces in one – perhaps your living room sits in front of a single-wall kitchen – make sure they are connected by decor, colour and style. For definition, just add area rugs, or use your couch as a dividing wall. It’s worth having a few furniture pieces, whether a bookshelf, couch or entertainment unit, in the same colour as the walls, too, so they blend into the room and visually expand the space.

Is open-plan living for you?

Today’s homes often embrace open-plan living, whereby the living room runs off the kitchen and/or dining areas. Open-plan living allows greater functionality, but can risk creating a vast, soulless space if not done right. To avoid a cavernous feel in an open-plan design, define areas with furniture, rugs and lighting, or consider using a wall divider. Also be sure to keep flooring, lighting and materials consistent throughout, for cohesiveness. Noise may be an issue – someone banging pots and pans while you’re watching TV, for example – so include lots of soft furnishings, such as rugs, curtains and couches to help absorb the noise. You will also need to factor in plenty of storage, so mess is kept at bay.
