Living room. Those who begin to furnish this room should keep in mind that they should not be influenced by trends. Sometimes people like a certain style and feel uncomfortable in a room only after they have spent a lot of money and started using everything.
In some cases, a couple is thrilled to have purchased the apartment they envisioned and have the sofa of their dreams at an affordable price. And it is white, their favorite color. They buy it and later realize that this color and small children are incompatible. [Today, for example, low cabinets without bookshelves dominate. I don\’t understand it, but I have so many books that I don\’t have room for them, and I read them over and over again, so I don\’t get rid of them.
A true comfort lover would probably buy a big corner sofa, preferably U-shaped, a big TV, and a living room wall for lots of stuff. Also, someone who likes to show off to his friends has a small cabinet and the latest appliances on the market. He has to have the latest and greatest to match his style, which may not be comfortable, but it is worth impressing his friends.
I once walked into a friend\’s living room and felt like I was in a catalog. After two hours of getting used to it, I realized how impractically furnished the room was.
Instead of armchairs, there were backless seating chairs, the backs of the sofas were hard, and the seats were so wide that even a man of average build could not comfortably put his feet on the floor.
The owners were rather petite. I can\’t imagine how they made themselves at home when there were no visitors.
Later, I looked into the bedrooms and was surprised to find them completely practical and even modest. I was told that the living room was the typical room and that no one was allowed in the bedroom. Yes, the apartment can be furnished that way. Quite strange, though. It depends on what you prefer.
I like classic, but another likes to eliminate partitions and put a sofa in the kitchen, where the architect intended the dining room to be, so that a huge screen can be hung on the living room wall. Whether you want carpet, floating floors, blinds, or curtains is all up to you.
Don\’t have a TV and want to watch something on the computer once in a while? That\’s fine.
Playing LPs on an old record player instead of buying an expensive new one? That\’s not a bad thing. Nostalgia has its place in people\’s lives.
Some people surround themselves with flowers, others install smaller lights, but in any case, the room you use the most should feel like a bed of roses.
In short, arrange your living room to suit you, and don\’t let anyone tell you that it\’s too cluttered or too minimalist for you.
