Design Interior Living Room

When you want to make your home look nice in decoration model or design, try to make your living room more comfortable as you wish. To make this easier, it is important to have a simple plan to follow each time you feel like changing everything around. Here’s some tips on how to build your decor so you can change it at any time, without having to spend a bundle of money.


  • Backdrop the living room in pretty neutral design

  • Start with a neutral palate if you want to change the look of your living room.
    No need to keep all of the walls white and the couch cream colored, better to keep them in the pretty neutral design. There are many color you can choose to paint the walls of your living room such as white and the couch cream, or choose browns or greens if you want color, but avoid anything to bright or flashy. As long as you stay away from patterns however, you should be able to have several different choices for your decor.


    If you keep the big things like furniture, walls and flooring in neutral tones, you’ll be able to change out the theme of your living room interior decor by adding accessories like rugs, pillows and wall art in the colors that you want. Another great ideas for sofas and chairs is to buy slipcovers - you can actually buy furniture that is meant to be slip covered, then simply get new slipcovers to go with whatever decorating plan you have in mind for the season!

  • Design your living room with accessories

  • When you have a neutral palate in your living room design, you can change the way your room looks just by replacing a few basic items. For instance, you should only need to change your curtains, pillows, and a few room accessories when you get the urge to switch things around. You can add sheer curtains, flowered pillows, and a vase of fresh flowers for a quick change if you want your living room interior decorating to be a little lighter for spring.


    Especially for a warm winter look, bring in deep reds, golds and greens in heavy fabrics like velvets and chenille’s. try some oriental rugs on the floor and oil paintings on the walls. Adding some candelabras and candle holders around the room will help to give it a cozy look.

  • The arrangement of room light

  • Prepare all your new lights or use lights that have neutral bases and change the shades out depending on the look you are going for. While track lighting and chandeliers can’t be changed easily, you can change out your lighting to go with your living room interior decorating plan. If need a fresh look for spring? You can use plain white shades. But if you want to design your living room like a safari look, Get shades in an animal print. How about a romantic look? Try putting on shades that have a floral print with some dankly fringe. Well, You’ll be surprised how much changing the shades can transform a lamp.


    If you love to keep your living room interior decorating plan flexible, you must be sure you never commit to something difficult to work with, such as a patterned couch or a bright chair. Don’t be afraid of color, but add it to your room with accessories that can be replaced when you want something a little different. It really doesn’t take a lot of money to get a new look, just a little creativity.

    Alexander Wang

    Alexander Wang
    {}
    Everyone who knows me knows I have a soft spot for androgenous far-eastern boys. I have an even softer spot for simple but striking clothes with a fetish edge. So you see, Alexander Wang is appealing to me on so many levels! I have been stalking The Selby hourly since he put up the "Coming up soon: Alexander Wang" sign, he finally posted it!
    {}
    Uzakdoğulu androjen oğlanlara karşı bir sempatim var. Özellikle modadan anlayanlara. Basit ve sade ama vurucu giysilere karşı daha da büyük bir sempatim var. Anlayacağınız moda tasarımcısı Alexander Wang (bazı parçalarını Vakkorama satmaya başladı) bana birçok bakımdan hitap ediyor. Fotoğrafçı Todd Selby, blog'u The Selby'de "Çok yakında: Alexander Wang" yazdığından beri saat başı açıp açıp bakıyordum. Nihayet karşımızda, Alexander Wang'in ofisi!
    {}
    Yo, Wang,
    {}

    Please pick me as your muse. I asked Marc a couple of years back, he said no, and look at him now, he totally lost his mojo, and it might have something to do with his karma catching up with him because of the incredible amount of hopeless longing he has caused me. I will work for only being allowed to wear these shoes around the office. Think of me as your oompa-loompa.
    {}
    Hey Wang, baksana... Beni ilham perin yapsana... Birkaç yıl önce Marc Jacobs'a sordum, istemedi beni, bak şimdi kaybetti o cinliğini, ki buna kıyafetlerinin bende yarattığı ümitsizce arzulamanın kötü karma olarak kendisine dönmesi sebep olmuş olabilir. Şu aşağıdaki ayakkabıları ofiste giyme karşılığı çalışırım seninle.
    {}



    Oooh...the shoes. They made me break my strict no-fashion-pictures-on-this-blog rule.
    {}
    Aaahh şu ayakkabılar. Bana çok katı bu-blog'a-moda-fotoğrafı-koymak-yok kuralımı bozdurdu.
    {}


    As for the place. First of all, I really like the space. The high ceilings, tall windows, plaster walls along with the dark floors are strikingly beautiful. The pillars are stunning. These features contrast very well with cleverly implemented industrial style light fixtures, and create the airy and unfinished feeling of a photography studio. Please note that he only broke the monochromatic color scheme with gold or brass elements. The gold/brass help create depth by becoming focal points, and add a little luxury, still within the general "contrast" look of the place.

    Mekana gelirsek. İlk olarak, yapıyı çok sevdim. Yüksek tavanlar, kocaman pencereler, alçı kaplamalı duvarlar, kopkoyu yerler, hepsi harika. Sütunlar büyüleyici güzellikte. Bu özellikler, akıllıca yerleştirilmiş endüstriyel stildeki aydınlatma elemanlarıyla güzel bir kontrast oluşturuyor. Dikkatinizi çekerim, siyah-beyaz renk skalasını yalnızca altın veya pirinç metaliklerle bozmuşlar. Altın/pirinç monokrom mekanda odak noktası haline gelerek derinlik oluşturuyor, mekanın "kontrast" temasının içerisinde biraz da lüks katıyor.
    {}

    Love the details on the pillars, and the ceiling. Again, great contrast with the exposed pipes.
    {}
    Sütunlar ve kartonpiyerlere bayıldım. Bakınız, tavandaki açık boru sistemi ve endüstriyel lamba ile nasıl da kontrast bunlar.
    {}


    Wang himself sitting on a gorgeous marble table. The luxurious marble is on the same "team" as the gold furniture, just like the industrial light fixtures are on the same team as the exposed pipes. This means that if you were to go for a similar look at your place, you could keep adding needed elements to each team, without creating clutter and compromising the airy feeling of course.

    Wang muhteşem mermer bir masaya oturmuş. Parlak, lüks mermer yüzeyler, altın mobilyalarla aynı "takım"da, tıpkı endüstriyel lambalarla açıktaki boruların aynı takımda olduğu gibi. Bu da şu demek, evinizde benzer bir hava yartmak istiyorsanız, ihtiyacınız olan eşyaları bu "takım"lara ait olacak şekilde bölüştürebilirsiniz. Fazla ıvır zıvır ile mekanın açıklık hissini bozmamak kaydıyla tabii.

    My taste in fashion and decor is very different. In decor I like romantic, feminine, soft styles, but in fashion I like simple things made with luxurious fabrics, things that have a dark edge, and a whole different color scheme than I would prefer in my home. Alexander Wang's office may not be the place I love the most, but it definitely holds elements that appeal to the both ends of my taste.
    {}
    Aslında benim modada ve dekorasyonda sevdiğim tarzlar oldukça farklıdır. Dekorasyonda romantik, feminen, yumuşak stiller, modada ise biraz karanlık, sade, keskin, lüks severim, ve giydiğim renkler ile dekorasyon yapmayı düşünmem (bunun tam tersi de geçerli). Alexander Wang'in ofisi en beğendiğim mekan olmayabilir ama benim iki yanıma da hitap eden öğeler barındırdığı kesin.
    {}

    Not too crazy about the table (I would prefer a raw, rustic wood workbench style table) or the cabinets, but I do like the hanging and standing lamps.

    Masaya (ben ham ahşaptan çalışma tezgahı tarzı birşeyler seçerdim) veya dolaplara pek bayılmadım, ama lambader ve avizeyi çok sevdim.
    {}

    I'm completely in love with the pillars! And how the simple black frame looks next to it! Also, I have been eyeing bar carts since this post on {this is glamorous}. Looks like Wang has scored a nice one.
    {}
    Sütunlardaki doku detayları gerçekten büyüleyici. O dümdüz siyah çerçeve nasıl da yakışmış yanına! Bu arada, "bar cart" denen, genelde üzerine içki şişeleri ve bardaklar konan bu servis arabaları {this is glamorous}'ın bu yazısından beri dikkatimi çekiyor. Wang de güzel bir tane bulmuş kendine.
    {}

    {}
    Ah, the windows make me grind my teeth. There are no apartments in Turkey with such large windows. Not any I can afford, anyway.
    {}
    Şu pencerelerin kocamanlığı bana dişlerimi gıcırdattırıyor. Bizim memleketimizde niye böyle cömertçe ışığı davet eden pencereler yapmazlar? Nişantaşından başka yerlerde yani.
