Un petit nid charmant et féminin aux pieds de Montmartre

Anne Chemineau - Decor Interieur

LE PROJET Un petit appartement avec un séjour et une chambre étroite et sombre, nécessitant de nombreux rangements dont bibliothèque et dressing. NOTRE SOLUTION Pour gagner en espace et lumière dans les deux pièces à vivre, nous avons supprimé la cloison fermée entre le séjour de 11m2 et la chambre de même dimension. Une nouvelle cloison basse avec verrière, décalée vers la chambre, permet d’optimiser l’espace dans le séjour et gagner en lumière côté chambre. L’ancien parquet, de mauvaise qualité, est remplacé par un parquet en chêne massif clair avec de larges lattes, ce qui éclaircit encore les espaces. Côté chambre, une tête de lit sur-mesure en bois clair avec appliques encastrées est installée entre deux dressings aux portes laquées beige. Pour permettre de ranger les nombreux livres ainsi que des chaussures en partie basse, une grande bibliothèque sur mesure est installée dans le couloir. LE STYLE Une thématique sur les oiseaux est présente sur ce projet avec un très beau papier-peint dans le couloir en vis-à vis de la bibliothèque. Celui-ci permet de créer une ambiance feutrée dans l’entrée, avec un bleu profond sur la bibliothèque et des boiseries anthracites, comme la verrière et les appareillages électriques. Des suspensions en laiton sont installées dans le couloir pour un éclairage très intime et feutré. Cela contribue à accentuer le contraste avec la pièce à vivre très lumineuse. Dans la chambre, on retrouve des oiseaux sur un papier-peint graphique placé au dessus de la tête de lit.

Living Room Design Photos with Blue Walls and Light Hardwood Floors

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.
