Freestanding Furniture & Room Dividers.
Today, furniture such as sofas or sideboards are often designed in such a way that they can be removed from the wall and set up freely in the room. This ensures a generous room atmosphere and is simply fun!
Indirect Lighting.
With the right lighting, a cozy room atmosphere can be created. Different forms of light play an important role in the choice of lighting: Indirect backlight, detailed lighting with, for example, a reading light and large-scale lighting with ceiling lights make up the mood.
Creative Wall Design.
Pictures, wall decals, colors: Creative wall design provides a change from the uniform white. The effect of colorful wallpapers should not be underestimated, after all, they can provide refreshing contrasts. With the help of wall shelves you can avoid elaborate painting and wallpapering.
Setting Accents With Carpets.
With single carpets, one room becomes more cozy and on the other hand, you can set beautiful accents with the choice of material, color and pattern of the carpet. It does not always have to be an XL format: Smaller variants often have a big effect.
Decorative Accessories.
Class instead of mass: If you choose your accessories wisely, you can give the living room its own character without much effort. Vases and candlesticks, for example made of copper or brass, as well as precious picture frames in silver, gold or wood exude a very special charm.
