Your Ideal Living Room Musts

Living Rooms are cleverly designed for the entire family and are all about Living Passionately. Our homes have never had to work harder than in recent years, especially Living Rooms becoming home offices, home schooling hubs, home gyms as well as an entertaining space.  
To achieve the ultimate Living Room experience, we have put together five important factors you should consider when building your Home. 

OPEN PLAN/INDOOR OUTDOOR FLOW

Bringing the outdoors, indoors in more ways than one. 
A stunning way to increase the feel of space and natural light in your home is with the installation of large bi-folding doors. These doors will transform an entire wall of your home and leave you with the relaxing view of your backyard. This will also enhance the easy flow transition of indoors to outdoors, great for entertaining. 
The indoor plant trend is here to stay in 2022. As we race to bring nature and the outdoors in, broad-leafed, vibrant green species and water-tolerant yet striking succulents will feature heavily in every room of the house, particularly the Living Room.

ZONING

With the Living room becoming more than just a place to watch TV or chill, zoning out spaces will be an emerging trend in 2022.  Zoning allows for divisions between work, rest and play. 
You can divide your Living Room in multiple ways. Methods like well-placed rugs, partitions, furniture layouts and paint can help to provide separation without entirely enclosing dedicated spaces. Try using bold wall murals or dividers made of nature-inspired materials, such as wood or rattan.

LIGHT & BRIGHT

Flood your home with light. Lighting plays an important role in creating an ambiance and mood in our homes. 
Good natural lighting combined with artificial can make your room pop. With the help of lighting fixtures such as pendant lights, chandeliers, and wall lighting, you can easily make your room appear spacious and change its environment instantly.  

FURNITURE

As mentioned in our What's trending in 2022 blog, sensual curves and feminine shapes are in. Living rooms will be full of round shapes, whether it’s about decorative elements, furniture, or overall interior theme.  Check out our curved wall in the Eclipse 32 on display at Homeworld Box Hill. 
Two important factors to consider when thinking about furnishings: cosiness and functionality. The ultimate Living Room should feature rounded sofas that you can sink into, curvaceous sitting chairs and rounded coffee tables. 
From curved corners within walls and cabinets to curved backs of sofas, dining chairs and arched cabinets, the angular line of furnishing is softening.

STORAGE

Multifunctional is the latest buzz word for living rooms. Including multifunctional pieces of furniture to create extra storage will be a god savvier when needing to tuck away those home work- out weights or extra throw rugs. Think of ways you can bring in extra storage through ottomans, lounges and flexible storage units.
