Living Room Do’s and Don’ts with Franklin Furniture

The living room is undoubtedly the room, that takes the most of the time when furnishing and decorating. It is the room, where we all spend the bulk of the ‘at-home’ time together with family and guests (well, after the kitchen, of course).

The living room’s scheme and decoration set the whole mood of the family house. There are definite rules when it comes to furnishing and decorating. The rules will only guide you to a few nice ideas that will help create a space that all the homies and guests will fall in love with. FurnitureCart is here to give you a few major ideas and illustrate it with stunning living room sets by Franklin Furniture.

There should be one central piece in the family room. Usually, this piece is either a sofa or a sectional. It should be the one that you like, of the quality that you trust. So, do please buy the reliable sofa (or modular sectional) and keep on ‘spiraling’ around it when decorating. A sofa/sectional is a good investment if you want it to last. Specialists believe, that sofa of average quality should last around 10 years, while a high-end sofa should last up to 25 years.

Traditionally, it is believed that the living room looks spacious if you push all the furniture against the walls. Actually, you did not plan to make it the dancefloor for the parties every night, right? The living room is supposed to be a cozy and welcoming area. If you do agree, and you’d like everyone in this room to feel comfortable, then create intimate conversation areas to encourage conversations.

Don’t start with the choice of paint color, when thinking about the renovation of your living room. It should be one of the last things to decide on, as you will opt for the hue that suits your overall furniture and decor scheme.

Don’t overwhelm with throw pillows, they are just accents. Choose a few right ones to enhance the piece of furniture they’re on and the overall look of the room. Opt for patterns and geometry, or bright splashes of color within the general look. They bring texture and mood to the room and make it complete.

If you’re up to throw a rug for even better comfort, don’t choose the small one (never for this room). The right size of a rug for a living room is when all the pieces of furniture fit on the rug’s surface. If it’s impossible to fit all the four legs of the major pieces, make sure that at least the front legs are on the rug. Still, the smaller pieces, like ottomans and occasional tables, should be on the rug.
