Living Room Furniture That Does Not Burn a Hole In your pocket
Choosing the right Living room furniture does not necessarily imply burning a hole in your pocket. There are options available for people shopping with a budget too.
The living room or drawing room of your home is where you eventually spend your maximum “home-time” with your family, friends, or quiet moments lounging before the TV or reading a book. It is possible to obtain some enviably attractive Living room furniture without burning a hole in your pocket, while still keeping it functional to meet all your requirements.
Your living room may be smaller than you would have liked, but with planning and careful selection of Living room furniture you can actually produce a visually spacious effect, making your friends wonder how you fitted in so much without any hint of clutter. If you can, extend the dimensions of your living room by including an adjacent dining room. This structural modification not only gives you more elbow room, but eliminates the need to go in for a dining suite, dressers, bureaus and the like. This saving will allow you to stretch your budget considerably.
First of all, try to brighten your small space to the best extent possible. Enlarge the windows, either horizontally or vertically. However, ensure you don’t cover too much wall space with windows. Next, choose a pleasant, neutral, pale shade of paint for the walls and white paint for the ceiling. This immediately gives the illusion of added space. Now you don’t have to worry about your Living room furniture clashing with the color of the walls, thereby giving yourself a wider choice.
Decide on a focal point and start planning your Living room furniture around it. A fireplace usually serves as an excellent central focus point. If there isn’t one, you can arrange cabinets, showcases, music system and TV trolley against one wall, giving the whole assembly a neat modular appearance. Using the same material for all the items is more restful to the eye in confined spaces. Use light colored wood like pine or maple. If you are living in a warmer climate, consider tubular structures of steel or brass. These don’t take up width and the arrangement has an open, spacious feel. Organize sufficient electrical points at strategic places on that wall, so that your equipment is connected without drawing long, unsightly wiring across the room. Depending on the amount of wall space, your cabinets could be designed vertically or horizontally. There is a lot of selection in both.
Once this is done, select your seating arrangement. Don’t go in for bulky, deep seated chairs, but don’t compromise on comfort either. You don’t want to be sitting bolt upright on thinly cushioned couches or arm chairs! Comfort is a prerequisite when choosing Living room furniture. Again, go with paler woods or, if the legs and arms are not too wide, get a teak finish and upholster the sofa and chairs in light colored fabric. Whites and off-whites for living room suites are impractical. Oatmeal requires far less maintenance while keeping the ambience bright. Now add color, with cushions, an inviting rug and wall decorations. You will find that you have been able to achieve an excellent result within a limited budget.
