Designing open spaces brings excitement and challenge at the same time as it allows you to use your imagination when planning on furniture to put in your space. Before you start buying furniture pieces, imagine first what you would want your room to feel like. How do you want people to move from the couch to the dining area? How instinctively and smoothly can they enter the room? The good thing about open spaces is the free flow and ease of movements from switching one place to another.
This open space did just that. It allows free movement from the living room to the dining area and gives a happy, homey, lived-in space that is not too curated, and not shabby. The living room played with neutral colors and wood for its theme. Using light gray walls and white curtains as backdrop, it incorporated furniture that matches and complements the existing architecture of the space.
Since the living room has wooden floors, wooden furniture was used as coffee tables, side tables, and dining chairs. While white and light gray furniture like the sofa, throw pillows, floor rug, and the dining table.
Windows are an excellent source of natural light, like the one in this living room. To soften the rays of sunshine or outside light, you can use sheer curtains to help filter the light or a thick curtain material to help block the light. Adding to the room’s aesthetic appeal, low pendant lamps were used and placed in the corner of the room. They add a stylish lighting option in illuminating the room. Other options you can have are recessed lights and other pendant lights that help provide ambient lighting to the room.
To give the room a homey feel, you can add indoor plants of dried botanicals, flowers or foliage. You can place them in small vases as decors in the coffee and dining table as well as the corner area of the room, making it a happy and beautiful room to hang out in.
