Did you just move into a large home or still don't know how to artfully decorate your incredibly big or oddly shaped living room? Unlike a small space, designing for a larger room presents a new array of challenges that focus on maximizing the floor space, as opposed to the height of the room. However, if your room's ceiling is as tall as it seems wide, you may have to design to accentuate both factors. To make your big room cozy, here are a few helpful suggestions:
- Invest in big pieces: Now is the time for you to buy that cozy sectional you have always wanted but never had space for! Sectionals are not only excellent for making your large space comfortable, but are also perfect for providing the right amount of space for game day seating or big gatherings. With your large, strategically designed living room, you may become the host of the year.
- Strategically lay out your room: Many people with large spaces turn them into a multi-purpose room. Depending on how your room is designed, you can section off your living room space on one end, with a dining room, gaming area or children's play space on the other. One area could be sectioned off into a home office for people who work from home or for teenager do do their homework as well.
- Use height to your advantage: With a cavernous living room, you have the freedom to invest in tall bookshelves, plants and decorations that you never were able to use before. Tall potted plants or even small trees will give your space a natural, unique look that could not be achieved through small potted flowers. Meanwhile, sprawling bookcases give you the opportunity to beautifully display your extensive book or art collection.
- Close the distance: Though you may buy larger furniture to fill the room, the expansive gaps between your pieces may seem awkward. To combat this problem, buy oversized coffee tables and ottomans and fill them with decorative accessories that propel your room's design. Effectively using large rugs to section off various parts of your room is also wise if you space is both long and wide.
