On first glance, living rooms might appear as one of the simpler designs to get right. Paint the walls in your favorite color, buy some comfortable sofas, and voila, you’ve got a living room to relax in at the end of the day.
However, without careful consideration, it can be easy to miss the mark when designing a living room. There are some easy traps to fall into: too much furniture and the four walls feel cramped. Plan the wrong layout and your living room becomes unsociable and awkward. And if you neglect lighting, the result is a living room that’s either dark and dingy or cold and clinical.
