Mid Century Urban Studio With an Office Space

Multi Functional Space: Mid Century Urban Studio For this guest bedroom and office space, we work with texture, contrasting colors and your existing pieces to pull together a multifunctional space. We'll move the desk near the closet, where we'll add in a comfortable black and leather desk chair. A statement art piece and a light will pull together the office. For the guest bed, we'll utilize the small nook near the windows. An articulating wall light, mountable shelf and basket will provide some functionality and comfort for guests. Cozy pillows and lush bedding enhance the cozy feeling. A small gallery wall featuring Society6 prints and a couple frames for family photos adds an interesting focal point. For the other wall, we'll have a TV plant and chair. This would be a great spot for a play area and the baskets throughout the room will provide storage.

Akzent Plus Wintergarten room extension with SL60 bi-fold doors

Solarlux Systems Ltd

This Akzent Plus wintergarden room extension with an SL60 bi-folding doors was installed at a property in London. The glass extension measures 6 x 4 m with a 0.5 m overhang at the front, roof sloping to the rear; the colour is DB703 dark grey It was important to the customer to create additional living space, which is naturally thermally insulated and of high quality. From a constructional point of view, the extension had to be connected to an existing tiled roof at the back and avoid the balcony and drain pipes at the front. In the end the balcony unfortunately had to make way for the wintergarden. The formation of a cold bridge is avoided by means of heavy-duty stainless steel fixings. The glass is specially made to keep the temperature stable in all seasons. Double glazing has been installed according to EN1297 guidelines, which leads to 63% less heat loss in winter compared to conventional glazing. Up to 71% of heat is reflected in summer, reducing the maximum temperature by 13 degrees Celsius on average. The construction has the potential to halve the energy requirements of the room. The glass achieves a U-value of 1.0 x/m2k.

Living Room Design Photos with Timber and Vaulted

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.
