The living room is called so because there is a lot of life in there and it has to be made lively enough. A little planning and a stipulated budget can do wonders to your living room. Whatever the size of the room, large or small, keep only what is required. The most important aspect is the furniture, where comfortable sofas or Indian seating is cost-effective. Customised sofas range from Rs.l5,000 to Rs. 20,000 while ready-made ones will cost around Rs.30,000. Furniture made in wood and steel are other good options.
Plain coloured upholstery with patterned or bright coloured cushions can be used to make the room look beautiful. Upholstery material can be cotton, satin or velvet. Glass shelves near the TV unit for storage and glass centre table add more style. The conventional concept of the dining place has been shifted from the kitchen to the living room. Thus, a dining area subtracts the formalness of a living room. A ready-made but simple dining table of steel with a glass top is feasible in a fixed budget.
The colour scheme of the living room could match the furniture with the usage of creams and whites with one wall high-lighted in a darker tone like bottle green, red or navy blue. A dramatic coloured wall behind the TV unit and the rest of the walls in neutral shades can also make the room attractive. Accordingly, the drapes or the curtains can be chosen with the right colour and quality to match the colour scheme. Here, cotton is best suited for a single drape or curtain with a pleasant colour and such curtains are available ready-made.
Vitrified tiles are the best for smart homes with a budget of Rs. 1,00,000 for a living room. Wooden flooring in a certain part also may complement the look, which comes at a cost of Rs.lOO to RS.15O per sq.ft. It is not necessary to have a false ceiling in the entire room. It can be restricted to the ceiling above the seating area leaving the rest of the area with a normal ceiling. Giving the false ceiling a darker shade than the rest of the ceiling can highlight that part. This will bring a different identity to the living room unlike the other false ceiling styles. False ceiling in plaster of Paris (POP) costs around Rs.50 per sq.ft.
Last but not the least, good lighting is essential. Nowadays, yellow lights are preferred in living rooms where a simple single chandelier can add to the elegance. A simple lampshade on a corner table lights a certain area, which creates a cosy and warm atmosphere. Once every aspect of the living room is covered, paintings, coloured glass vases or ethnic artefacts at an affordable cost can be used to enhance the beauty of the decor.
