Living Room Furniture by Galerie Vanlian

The living room is the room for living. It’s a gathering place, a place that embraces family and friends with relaxed style. If you want to enrich your life, create a family-friendly living room with areas for reading, talking, working and relaxing.

Before you order a coach, or pick up a paint brush, look at your space with objective eye. Whether you’re redesigning the whole room or just refreshing it, open your mind to the creative possibilities, think about furniture and finishes, colors and textures, follow your own instincts, what counts is not a certain style, but your style.

Choose furniture, materials and colors that inspire you. Trust your own eye for and feelings about decor will generate the best ideas for decorating your living room. Start with the basics: a comfortable, well-made sofa, a versatile coffee table, beautiful drapes, a quality rug.

When shopping for new furniture, make safety and comfort just as important as beauty. Look for designs with friendly detailing. To increase the sense of comfort and good energy, arrange your living room furniture to form islands that you can move around easily. Appoint corners with any combination of enhancements, such as plants, sculpture, lighting, art and furniture.

An interior is the natural projection of the soul – Coco Chanel

To encourage social intimacy and relaxation, place the primary furniture-often a sofa- so that it commands a view of the room. Then give other seating a nice view, putting everyone at ease and making the room both attractive and comfortable. To assure ideal views throughout the room, make sure the corners in your living room are clear of clutter. A sense of uncluttered abundance is the key: all that’s needed is present and plentiful, yet organized in a way that keeps the space open and livable.

Living room decorating expresses a sense of welcome and sets the tone for the rest of your home. By definition the living room is the space in a home that’s most full of life and spirit.

It’s the best design tool there is – a splash of color here, a splash of color there.  Want a quick budget makeover for any room – paint it another color!  Want to change the feel of a room – change the color of the accessories.  But how do we pick the right color for the room?  How do we make the bedroom a calm, serene haven and the dining room a lively place to have your meal?

You need to take a look at color psychology and meaning.  Through the years we have assigned meanings to different colors based on their traditional uses.  Analyzing the symbolic meaning of colors will give you some valuable insight on how to choose the right color for the right place and help you in every aspect of interior decorating, from choosing a paint color to redecorating your home on a budget.

Whites and Neutrals

Whites and neutrals tend to project purity, cleanliness, and neutrality. Notice that most hospitals have white walls, brides wear white gowns and a white picket fence surrounds a safe and happy home.   Whites tend to:

  • Add to your mental clarity
  • Encourage us to clear clutter or obstacles
  • Purify or clears thoughts or actions
  • Evoke a feeling of fresh beginnings

Yellows

What is the first thing you think of that’s yellow?  The sun, of course.  Yellow is powerful color that suggests warmth, richness and happiness.  Yellows in the right doses can:

  • make you feel happy
  • give you more energy
  • cause people to become angry quicker

Yellows can have a magical effect on a room, but with the power of this color, using too much or having it too bright can cause problems.

Reds

Even more powerful than yellows are the reds, its is one of the most powerful colors you can use  We associate red with love, valentines, danger, desire, speed, strength, and even stop signs. It is considered the first color that is recognized by human eye and this color:

  • Promotes alertness 
  • Increases vitality
  • Increases strength
  • Stimulates conversation

Ideas for the use of red include dining rooms, and a dash of red as an accent can spice up other rooms as well.

Greens

Greens are a fresh color to use in almost any room, and is one of most-often cited favorite colors.  It represents nature, environment, health, good luck, youth and fertility.  Greens represent:

  • A healing force
  • A rejuvenation;
  • Nature and growth.

You can use greens almost anywhere, anytime for anything – in the right shades, of course.

Blues

Blue is considered a universal color.  It represents peace, tranquility, stability, trust, confidence, security, loyalty, sky, water, cold, technology, and even depression.  Blue can 

  • slow the pulse rate
  • lower body temperature
  • reduce appetite.

Blue is universal familiar color, and is comforting.  It’s known for its calming affect and should be used in any room you would like to promote tranquility and peace, like a bedroom.

Browns 

The color brown represents earth and steadiness.  But the first thing I think of with brown is chocolate, of course, which symbolizes smoothness and luxury.  Brown tends to make us feel:

  • Luxurious
  • Elegant
  • Comforted
  • Earthy
  • Wiser
  • Stronger

If you need a touch of sophistication in a room, brown may be just what you need.

Colors are going to play a major role in your life and color choices throughout your home are going to influence your mood, so be emotional about your color choices.

Five Tips to Turn Your Bedroom into a Blissful Oasis! by Vick Vanlian

Five Tips to Turn Your Bedroom into a Blissful Oasis! by Vick Vanlian

A “tired” kitchen or bathroom may be an unsightly inconvenience and a challenge if you’re selling your house. But a “tired” bedroom can actually impact your mental and physical well being. Here are five tips to turn your den of chaos into an oasis of bliss:

1. Cut the clutter. – When you walk into your bedroom are you visually overwhelmed? Whether you have too much decoration on the walls and nick nacks on top of the dresser, or mounds of dirty laundry on the floor, the visual impact can be the same. The more stuff you have in the room, the smaller and more confining the room will appear.

Do whatever you have to do to organize and store items out of sight. Provided, feng shui experts warn, that you don’t stuff the debris under the bed. It’s thought that items stored under the bed can disrupt the natural energy flow and ultimately affect your rest.

2. Adults only, please. – That’s right; it’s time the baby moved into her own room. Also, eliminate from the room all reminders that you have children. That means any toys the kids have left in your room go into their rooms. Their laundry should be folded and put away in their rooms – never left sitting in a basket in yours. Remember, your bedroom is about you and your partner. It’s where you decompress after a long day and share moments that are exclusively yours as a couple.

3. Keep the room purposeful. – Our homes have become as crowded as our lives and often our bedrooms do double duty as our home offices. But design and sleep experts agree that you should get the office and computer out of the bedroom if at all possible. A desk and computer detract from the room’s ultimate purpose – to serve as a refuge from the day’s cares. If you simply have nowhere else to put your computer, try to position it so that it’s not the last thing you see before you close your eyes or the first thing you see in the morning.

4. Decoration should be simple but dear to your heart. – The bedroom is no place to try out the latest edgy design trend. Stick with colors, textures and images that are meaningful and relaxing to you. A dramatic centerpiece is OK as long as it inspires a sense of peace. Your focal point could be a massive, four-poster king sized bed or a wall mural of a sensual tropical scene or restful garden.

You can even personalize your mural by having a favorite photograph – a romantic scene from your honeymoon, the towering oak tree that grew in the back yard of your childhood home – turned into an easy-to-install wallpaper mural. To learn more about wallpaper murals and customizing your own mural, visit www.muralsyourway.com .

5. When it comes to bed linens, splurge away! – Your skin will be in contact with your linens for six to eight hours every night. You’ll see your bedspread or comforter every time you pass by the bedroom door. Your linens should appeal to your sense of touch as well as vision. You should fall in love with how the linens feel against your skin, as well as how they look on your bed. Good linens can make even the most simple bedroom décor feel stunning.
