The Asians were inspired by lofty ideals of beauty living room ideas. And these same ideals can be imitated and applied to create and decorate an elegant living area, an elegant home in particular. With a combination of imagination, good taste, statues and lamps, any living area can be transformed into one that exudes elegance and coziness at the same time.

In the home, the living area, or the receiving room, is one of the busiest rooms. It’s also the room guests initially see and form a lasting impression about the home. Hence, the living area should be well-decorated, well-laid out and inviting to guests and family members. It should project a homey, comfortable yet elegant image.

Penataan gambar-gambar pada dinding akan menambah keindahan pada livingroom ini. Sesuaikan gambar ataupun lukisan yang akan menjadi hiasan di dinding. Perhatikan ukuran bingkai gambar terhadap luas dinding tempat untuk menggantungkan. Warna lukisan dan obyek lukisan mungkin harus diperhatikan, apalagi bila anda sangat memperhatikan Feng shui. Anda harus menyesuaikan gambar dengan jenis ruangan yang akan dihiasi.
Maximize Mini-blinds. Add a rich sense of detail by centering a length of embroidered tape over each of the two front slat-connecting cords of your mini-blinds. Cut each tape length 1 inch longer than the length of blind when fully lowered. Iron cut edges under 1/4 inch, then use needle and thread to tack the back of the tape to the cord at the top and bottom of the blind, and at 12-inch intervals in between.

Make a Display Tray. To unify a collection of small items on a tabletop, cover the photo-backing cardboard of a wall-hung type picture frame with fabric that complements the display. Insert that in the frame, behind the picture glass, and arrange items on top.

Penataan living room furniture menjadi sangat penting untuk mendapatkan suasana yang berbeda dan untuk kenyamanan. Kita bisa memilih sofa besar yang bisa kita gunakan untuk berbaring santai sambil membaca book. Air conditioner bisa kita kurangi bila udara luar bisa nasuk secara bebas dan membawa udara segar pedesaaan.
Divide and Conquer. To define the living and dining areas in a long room that has to accommodate both, install two waist-high shelf units (with doors) that project a few feet in from each side wall. The low units will keep air space open, add a needed horizontal element, and provide handy storage for both areas. Add Visual Space. Painting woodwork and walls in the same light color will make a small room seem larger.
Create a Skyline. Don’t keep all the elements at the same horizontal level. As Larchmont, New York, designer Libby Cameron suggests, “Arrange — or add — pieces to establish an interesting contrast of heights so that the eye goes up and down as it travels around the room.” Layer the Lights. Overhead spots (like track lighting) are great for highlighting special areas. But you also need table lamps for warm, eye-level light, as well as floor lamps (like torcheres) to complete the effect.
