As a homeowner, whenever we embark on a journey towards renovation, we usually tend to follow certain tried and tested design themes which have been proven to look good in appearance. We have a fear of doing something out of the ordinary as it may not look like that in reality the way we thought it would. However, you should never let this kind of fear stop you from exploring your imagination and being creative while designing your home. You can experiment with different elements and try to see what looks good and what does not. At the end, you will get a home which not only appears beautiful but holds a special position in your heart because the designs came right from your imagination and heart.
The living room is the main focal point of any home, so it is essential that you pay extra attention to it during renovation. There are several ways in which you can think out of the box while designing your HDB living room. Here, we will discuss some of the amazing living room design ideas which will give you great ideas and tips on how to use your imagination and create an awesome living room in your home.
Embrace Clutter
Let’s face it. All those beautiful minimalist homes look very attractive and beautiful in magazines and interior design photos where everything seems to be in place with just the essentials and nothing extra. But in reality, our homes are anything but that! We have a lot of possessions that need to be placed somewhere. In an HDB apartment, you have very limited storage space, so you end up with a lot of stuff that needs to be put on display. The trick is to display them in a way that they become part of the design and help to enhance the overall image of the room.
As an example, consider the following living room design where they have adopted a simple Scandinavian theme with neutral colors and leather furnishings. But in the same living room, a shelf has been placed on which all sorts of possessions have been placed. It consists of blocks, photo frames, boxes of small elements, and possession chests. The point is, there is always some way in which you can embrace your clutter and put them on display in a beautiful manner.
Let Your Creative Juices Flow In A Funk And Retro Living Room Design
If you think that the most common interior design themes are just too boring, then this living room will inspire you to your core to explore your creativity and implement them in your home design. Funky neon colors of purple and orange are used as the main colors in the living room. The sofas are kept a bit traditional but its colors are chosen according to the funky retro theme. Corresponding wall features are added to enhance the image of a vibrant and youthful atmosphere. The wall hangings and art pieces depict fantasy and comic books themes which creates a wild and exotic outlook. The end result is a living room that gives a dynamic and colorful ambience.
Go Simple With Lots Of Accessories
If the neon funky retro look was a bit too much for you, then you will find the following living room design very interesting. Although it features a simple design theme with wooden architecture combined with a gray dominant theme, certain elements help to enhance the overall appearance of this living room. One of these elements is the bespoke carpentry that creates clean lines and symmetry in the design. Many small shelves and compartments have been incorporated into the walls in which you can palace all sorts of accessories. Whether it is your photo frames, books, decor items, planters, or any other art piece, there is enough room for them to be placed. All these accessories help to create a warm and cozy ambience in the living room in an otherwise beautifully designed interior.
Traditional Scandinavian Open Concept Living Room Design
One way in which you can create a realistic living room design in the Scandinavian theme is to incorporate certain elements of traditional styles in it. And what better way to achieve this than an open concept living room design where different elements of traditional and Scandinavian design themes have plenty of space to blend together. Notice in the following design, traditional sofa chairs and armchairs blend beautifully with a modern Scandinavian open concept kitchen. The wooden floors of Scandinavian flow beautifully in the traditional honeycomb tiled floor. Lots of fresh green plants and sunlight from the huge windows take this interior design style to the next level.
