In today's modern world, different people will have a wide range of different needs and this will of course influence their ideas on how a living room should be used. As with many things it is not always possible to accommodate every desire and compromises are generally needed
Modern minimalists may seek plenty of empty spaces and little to put in them but this may not suit a young family. Busy people may seek a second work space but this will often lead to their space filling with the paraphernalia associated with an office and a hectic work environment
Family-orientated people may desire a room full of ambience and warmth where they can flop down and relax with friends and family, but may find the room overflowing with sofas and chairs. When you are planning a living room, make sure that you are happy that it meets your lifestyle needs as well as looking like you want it to
When you are planning colours, stick to lighter natural hues. Avoid too many areas of deep colour but do place accents of colour on some smaller items - perhaps on a throw for the sofa, or on the curtains or blinds. Do not let a heavy colour dominate the room
If you accept that your living room will attract clutter then plan for it. Oak or pine cupboards and sideboards will give you the space to tidy up after the children have finished playing and allow the adults a tidier area to relax in when evening comes.
