Mistakes in arranging the living room make the space cramped and unsightly

Thanh Thanh (Theo Boldsky) |

Unreasonable lighting, choosing carpets of the wrong size or displaying too much furniture are common mistakes that make the living room stuffy and messy.

Unreasonable light

Unbalanced lighting systems easily make the space darker and less vibrant. Only using ceiling lights shining from above is a common mistake. You should combine many sources of light such as floor lights, wall lights, and LED ceiling lights to ensure that the light spreads evenly throughout the room.

Choose the wrong carpet size

Carpets that are too small or not suitable for the room shape will make the layout unbalanced. You should choose carpets that are the right size for the sofa and the overall space, and consider colors that are harmonious with the interior.

Uncalculated interior layout

Random arrangement of furniture makes the living room messy and inconvenient when living. TVs placed in the wrong positions, blocked walkways or seats that do not create connection are common mistakes. Comfort and convenience should be prioritized.

Overuse of dark paint

Dark tones make the room look smaller and more stuffy. If you love dark colors, you should only use them to accent a wall area, combined with light colors to maintain a spacious feeling.

Decorating too many things

Placing too many items easily makes the living room look like an exhibition warehouse. Minimalist style, selecting necessary furniture and arranging neatly will make the space more airy.

Hanging curtains the wrong way

Curtains only across windows are outdated and make ceilings look low. You should use long curtains that touch the floor and hang the bar higher than the window frame to create a high and luxurious feeling.

Living room design should be flexible so that it can be changed according to needs and emotions. Just by avoiding the basic mistakes above, you can create a more harmonious, convenient and aesthetically pleasing living space.
