Do not use too dark tones for the living room
When designing a living room, you should prioritize maximizing natural light so that the space is always airy and comfortable. Avoid placing too many dense potted plants on the balcony or in front of the window because it can block light from entering the house.
Besides, wall paint should not be too dark or gloomy, because these colors easily create a feeling of crampedness and heavyness. Bright or neutral tones will help the room look spacious, bright and feel more comfortable.
Limit floor design with many high and low steps
The living room floor needs to be flat, using materials that are resistant to slipping and abrasion to ensure safety when moving.
Some families arrange tiers between the entrance area and the living room to create accents. However, this design may increase the risk of falling, especially for young children and the elderly.
If it is not really necessary, you should prioritize a seamless floor for more convenient travel.
Limit main doors facing directly into private areas
If the main door opens and looks directly at the toilet door, back door or large window, it can reduce the privacy of the house.
If the front door and rear door or window are on the same axis, the airflow can pass through the house, making the space easily lose cool air when using air conditioning and affecting ventilation efficiency. In case the structure cannot be changed, partitions, curtains or suitable interior arrangements can be used to increase privacy and improve spatial division.
