Go Minimal
While minimalism isn’t for everyone, it is useful when designing a versatile living room. If you have too much stuff, you’ll struggle to find space for everything, so a minimalist approach will make it easier to design something that can be easily adjusted to suit your needs. You can still add extras to the room, such as a set of weights, but don’t have so much that it becomes overwhelming when you need to shift things around.
Consider Year-Round Needs
You will use your living room throughout the year, so don’t design it based on the current season. It’s important to consider essential features of a living room that make it habitable in the summer as much as in the winter. As you need the space to be as comfortable as it is versatile, researching fireplaces (both modern and classic) can give your living room a unique appeal and ensure the room is toasty once the temperatures drop while also adding a cool detail.
Invest In Versatile Furniture
There is much more to versatility than investing in a comfortable couch or armchair. To ensure your living room is as functional as possible, you need versatile furniture. This means furniture for various activities or needs, such as futons for guests sleeping over or built-in storage. To take this further, sofas or chairs with castors will make them easier to move around if you need to create space for games or large groups.
Don’t Use All The Space
To ensure you can move your furniture, make sure you don’t use all the space in your living room. This also allows you to rearrange furniture to give it a fresh look or make the most of the sunset at various times throughout the year. While you don’t want the living room to be too bare you should still leave easily accessible walkways to help guests, pets and kids navigate.
Buy Blendable Storage Items
Storage is a useful addition to your living room, but it can be tricky to find extra storage options that blend into your decor and design. To overcome this, look for built-in storage products or opt for neutral colours that will fit seamlessly alongside your sofa or cabinets.
Versatile
A versatile living room opens many possibilities for you and your family. You can entertain friends or set up craft tables for your kids. You can cosy up watching a movie or invite people over to watch exciting sporting events. Whatever you prefer, a versatile living room makes things cosier and more comfortable and does wonders for your mental health.
