The Perfect Living Space: Feng Shui
This week we are showcasing some of the things we can do to have a perfect living space. The pandemic has given newfound importance to the concept of home and how we live in our spaces. Since your living room might host all sorts of activities, whether a cocktail party or family movie night we recommend planning for real life.
A successful living room layout should take into account where the furniture is – the space in between that permits traffic flow within and through the room, but also avoids a cluttered atmosphere – the negative space, and focal points.
When designing a living room, a lot of homeowners push their living room furniture to the perimeter of the room to make the space look bigger, instead of creating a furniture grouping. Rooms that have multiple functions demand a particular approach, and while this has been particularly crucial in the past year, it can apply in many homes in normal circumstances.
Let’s jump to the “tip” and “educate” portion of this blog post to amp up your house’s feng shui/balance:
Tip 1: Invest In The Couch
It’s important to find a piece that’s going to stand the test of time and be a quality piece. Enter Aura Homes. All our products are sourced and produced In Europe meeting the highest standards of home and work furniture.
Tip 2: Punctuate and Layer Up With Lighting
When planning the room’s furniture layout and window treatments, prioritize natural light. Then make sure you have high and low lighting. Do you have great lamps? Do you have good overhead lighting?
Tip 3: Define The Room With Rugs
Rugs often claim a territory. Make sure the rug’s colour, texture, and pattern balance with the whole scheme of the room.
Tip 4: Pay Attention To Walls
The walls are a major part of any living room scheme and have a major influence on the appearance of the room. Therefore, as well as considering painting them, you might want to weigh up using wallpaper all round the room, on one wall, or in a limited area such as an alcove. At Aura homes, we are big on adding pattern to the room, our wallpapers introduce texture, bringing another dimension to the room scheme. This can be particularly useful in adding another layer to a monochromatic scheme.
Tip 5: Factor In Living Space Storage
Planning a sufficient storage for a living room is essential. Many pieces look handsome in their own right, as well as providing stash space: think cabinets, armoires, desks, console tables or larger console cabinets and dressers (hello aura!)
The best way to decorate a living room is to have in mind your personal taste – whether that’s for the more contemporary or traditional – along with comfort for yourself, your family and your friends.
And remember, a selection of artwork for the walls will give your room personality and interest, as well as smaller accessories that make your home your own.
So, that’s how you build a fantastic living room; a space that can be beautiful and interesting and full of character, and hopefully now you have a treasure map to that design bounty. Oh also, we will be beautifully showcasing some stunning pieces at The Junction Mall this weekend (19th -20th Feb). Pop in and say hi? See you then!
