The choice of material depends on the intended interior style. What matters is the number of household members, their age, hobbies and temperament. The chosen design should be liked by everyone - this is the key to home comfort. If desired, in any living room, you can create a style in classic, modern, ethnic and vintage design directions.

If the area of ​​the room is not limited and it has a fireplace (false fireplace), you can choose classic line, which includes classics, neoclassicism, classicism and Italian style. English design is similar to them. Elements of palace solemnity are inherent in all directions. These are massive wooden furniture with carved legs and leather upholstery, a fairly solid coffee table, chests of drawers with glass showcases, wardrobes, heavy multi-level chandeliers with forging, crystal and a lot of shades.

An obligatory technique of this style is plaster molding on the ceiling and an abundance of gilding. If the room is small, you can choose individual elements of the classic design.

Based on current modern directions (for example, modern, brutalism, hi-tech, bionics, loft, grunge), you should take care of the availability of modern furniture with a transformation made from technological raw materials. It is imperative to complement the furnishings with a glass table, modern audio and video equipment, shelving, side tables.

With an open plan and there is space in the space for a dining area, you should definitely purchase a bar counter with similar chairs. Do not forget about stylish LED spotlights, placing them along the perimeter of the ceiling or walls, depending on the planned lighting composition.

Actual rustic theme (country, provence) adheres to some textiles: in the setting, a lot of attention is paid to the type of material of curtains, furniture covers and cushions. The light colors of the furniture and the print of the fabric are especially important here. This is especially true for country music. It differs from the glamorous and sloppy boho, which skillfully combines colorful upholstery and capes with different pieces of furniture.

Retro, vintage immersed in a specific historical era. Such directions are interesting, but they are not applicable where the family lives. The same can be said about the avant-garde and direction of kitsch. The latter is an opposition to order, this is a kind of imbalance that will not be accepted by all household members. They are characterized by pictures of complex perception, an abundance of contrast in the decoration of the walls, the proportion of creativity in the form of furniture and the selection of details that somewhat interrupt each other in shape and color.

Combining wallpaper is a stylistic technique with which you can beat any lack of usable space. This is one of the branches of zoning, through which a space is given an unobtrusive organization. There are different techniques for such mixing, it saves the atmosphere from boredom and routine.

The main techniques include:

• connection of two paired wallpaper (identical background color, one companion is monochromatic, the other has a print), which allows you to visually make the ceiling higher and the area larger;
• selection of monochromatic canvases and photo wallpaper (highlighting an accent protrusion on the wall or classic gluing photo wallpaper on the wall in the place of the guest, dining area or video equipment location);
• purchase of contrasting wallpaper for patchwork technique or reception of "panels" (in the first case, square or rectangular fragments from different wallpapers need to be glued to the wall or part of it, in the second one of the wallpaper with a picture they make a picture, framing it in a molding or ceiling plinth);
• embossing the wall (if there is a spacious room) to highlight the guest area by combining wallpaper and cladding material (for example, laminate, plastic wall panels).

The combination can be classic vertical or horizontal. Simple alternation of strips of different types and the same width is unacceptable. This will visually shatter the wall. If you want to use the same strip, it is more advisable to glue embossed wallpaper on the walls: this way the room will look stylish, without heaviness. With regard to the vertical reception, it is more advisable to stick two or three strips of wallpaper with a print on a part of the wall, or completely complete one wall with panels with a pattern.

The texture of the wallpaper is smooth and embossed. By the type of visual and tactile sensations she may be:

• glossy;
• matte;
• rough;
• plush;
• velvety;
• embossed.

Today, the texture of the material is capable of imitating masonry and brickwork, plaster stucco, decorative plaster, wood, marble and much more. Such wallpaper surfaces stand out against the background of sleek counterparts, which have to adjust to the desired status through the original pattern.

The best shades for the living room are beige, milky, coffee tones, a shade of light oak wenge, ivory, silver and always white. Saturated reds, blues, and an abundance of black are unacceptable. It can be used to emphasize light strokes, but nothing more. Brown and mauve are good contrasts in minimal amounts.

The best designs are those made with silkscreen printing, brick and masonry, or photo printing. It is fashionable to glue canvases with the image of lace curls, monograms, abstract stains and vegetation (branches, leaves are especially popular). The stripe is good, the one that is poorly expressed, the bright lines visually oppress, as the matting and small cell irritate.

Successful photo printing is one that depicts landscapes, urban themes, or something oriental with sakura petals.
