The living room can tell a lot about the owner of the apartment. It is, one might say, the owner's face. Hall — multifunctional place in the apartment.
Here we receive guests, sit in front of the TV in the evening, just relax on weekends, communicate. Therefore, we need to take seriously the choice of interior for the hall.
The choice of furniture for this room depends on several factors:
- Phorse;
- ABOUTillumination;
- INheight of the apartment ceilings;
- Nthe presence of niches or several doors;
- INthe taste preferences of the owners.
A small sofa or couch will simply get lost in a large room. In this case, a large corner sofa with two armchairs will do, creating a cozy corner that will smooth out the atmosphere of a large space. And, of course, the colors should be warmer: light brown, beige, mustard.
The design of the hall (30 m) with a gray sofa will resemble an office building. An artificial fireplace, a couple of pillows on the sofa, a panel or a picture on the wall will help add coziness and warmth. If the room has large windows, they can be decorated with beautiful lambrequins in the same tonality as the sofa. Another solution is to divide the room into zones.
It is better to choose miniature, light-colored furniture for a small room. As is known, light colors give a feeling of spaciousness. It is better to refuse a classic wall to the ceiling. Here, a small-height (1.5 m) wall unit will do.
A light carpet on the floor, light airy curtains, and a small coffee table will help to increase the space. In this case, it is better to hang the TV on the wall or place it on one of the shelves.
Lighting plays an important role in the design of the hall. Furniture for the hall in an apartment with poor lighting is best chosen in light colors without a pattern. This will visually expand the lighting area.
High ceilings play a dual role. If the room interior is chosen correctly, the ceiling height will not matter. It is another matter when the ceiling is low and it needs to be visually raised. First of all, put low furniture for the hall.
Avoid bulky chandeliers; built-in lamps will not take up space in your room, but rather will give you a feeling of spaciousness above your head.
The presence of niches in the living room wall or additional doors also affect the quality of the room's interior. You can put a built-in closet in the niche, arrange bookcases, or place a TV.
An additional number of doors can narrow the living room space. To avoid this, make a sliding door out of glass or mirror.

Interior styles for the hall
The most important thing in the interior is its style. This is where the owner's taste features manifest themselves. The interior of the apartment depends on the habits, character, and emotionality of its owner.
After all, the most important thing is the comfort of the people living in the apartment. Each family member should have their own comfort zone.
- Minimalism
Minimalism is a harmony between a small number of things and space. This style assumes a minimum of the most necessary things.
Minimalism implies a lot of free space, a lot of calm and diffused light and air. The main forms in the interior of minimalism should be rectangular forms: squares, rectangles, parallelepipeds, right angles and parallel lines.
- Classical
This interior style appeared due to the emerging interest in the culture of ancient Rome and Greece. It involves a large number of accents, so it is better suited for a spacious living room.
The walls are decorated with mirrors and paintings in antique frames. Sofas and armchairs have large armrests. Preferred colors: from cherry to gold.
- English modernism.
Sophisticated and refined style. The same furniture should be in your living room. Everything in the Art Nouveau style resembles plant ornaments, the lines are smooth and soft.
English Art Nouveau is suitable for rooms of any size. Bright, flashy colors should not be used here, but the colors should be saturated: purple, green, pearl. Dividing the space into zones is welcome.
- Art Deco of French origin.
For a living room in this style, tables and chairs made of natural wood with a lot of glass, leather sofas are suitable. One of the main aspects of the interior are paintings and photographs under glass (no matter what).
Semi-precious stones, ivory, bamboo are also used. The highlight is the zigzag lines and shapes, a lot of gloss.
- Hi-tech
"High technology" is suitable for business and very busy people. In the high-tech living room you will not see small pleasant trifles, cozy pillows.
High-tech involves the use of materials such as glass and metal, multi-level ceilings, smooth shiny surfaces that visually expand the space, give a "cosmic" shine and cold. Furniture should be multifunctional, geometrically consistent, without decorations.
- Ethnic style.
Means belonging to some nation. The design of the apartment is done in the spirit of folk motifs: Chinese, Arabic, Egyptian, Indian, colonial, neo-ethnic, etc. Each of them has its own characteristics.
Cafes and restaurants are often decorated in Japanese style. Living room furnishings should be chosen with low backs in matte and pastel colors, painted with hieroglyphs. Lamps made of rice paper are used to illuminate the hall.
- Kitsch.
This style has appeared recently. The main idea is to mock history and artistic traditions. Translated into Russian it means bad taste. There is a complete mixture of styles here. The emphasis is on flashiness and extravagance.
Bright armchairs are suitable for a dark room. Cabinet furniture for the hall should be brown. A transparent table with a bouquet of bright flowers will work well. The carpet should be soft and bright, or better yet, a combination of several bright colors.
