Lake House Living Room Design, Port Perry

Sean Symington Design

An existing client of mine approached me to design a small lake house cottage in Port Perry, Canada. The idea was to work with as much existing furniture as possible, while still creating a fresh concept for the space. The home itself was renovated and needed a nod to its turn of the century heritage. We wanted something layered and cosy, while still maintaining a traditional and cottage feel, honouring the interior architecture. The natural linens, pale blue kitchen and brass accents create a warm and inviting weekend retreat in the country.

Proyecto de interiorismo para apartamento de 150m2 en Barcelona

Victoria Interiors

Pudimos crear varios escenarios para el espacio de día. Colocamos una puerta-corredera que separa salón y cocina, forrandola igual como el tabique, con piedra fina de pizarra procedente de Oriente. Decoramos el rincón de desayunos de la cocina en el mismo estilo que el salón, para que al estar los dos espacios unidos, tengan continuidad. El salón y el comedor visualmente están zonificados por uno de los sofás y la columna, era la petición de la clienta. A pesar de que una de las propuestas del proyecto era de pintar el salón en color neutra, la clienta quería arriesgar y decorar su salón con su color mas preferido- el verde. Siempre nos adoptamos a los deseos del cliente y no dudamos dos veces en elegir un papel pintado ecléctico Royal Fernery de marca Cole&Son, buscándole una acompañante perfecta- pintura verde de marca Jotun. Las molduras y cornisas eran imprescindibles para darle al salón un toque clásico y atemporal. A la hora de diseñar los muebles, la clienta nos comento su sueño-tener una chimenea para recordarle los años que vivió en los Estados Unidos. Ella estaba segura que en un apartamento era imposible. Pero le sorprendimos diseñando un mueble de TV, con mucho almacenaje para sus libros y integrando una chimenea de bioethanol fabricada en especial para este mueble de madera maciza de roble. Los sofás tienen mucho protagonismo y contraste, tapizados en tela de color nata, de la marca Crevin. Las mesas de centro transmiten la nueva tendencia- con la chapa de raíz de roble, combinada con acero negro. Las mesitas auxiliares son de mármol Carrara natural, con patas de acero negro de formas curiosas. Las lamparas de sobremesa se han fabricado artesanalmente en India, y aun cuando no están encendidas, aportan mucha luz al salón. La lampara de techo se fabrico artesanalmente en Egipto, es de brónze con gotas de cristal. Juntos con el papel pintado, crean un aire misterioso y histórico. La mesa y la librería son diseñadas por el estudio Victoria Interiors y fabricados en roble marinado con grietas y poros abiertos. La librería tiene un papel importante en el proyecto- guarda la colección de libros antiguos y vajilla de la familia, a la vez escondiendo el radiador en la parte inferior. Los detalles como cojines de terciopelo, cortinas con tela de Aldeco, alfombras de seda de bambú, candelabros y jarrones de nuestro estudio, pufs tapizados con tela de Ze con Zeta fueron herramientas para acabar de decorar el espacio.

The living room now is uncluttered, modern and with the fireplace a great place to entertain.

Living Room Design Photos with a Hanging Fireplace

A living room, often referred to as a lounge room in Australia and New Zealand, is the hub of the home. If you only have one living room in the house, it’s likely to serve multiple purposes: be it a place to watch TV, play games, spend quality time with family or hang out with friends. If you have the luxury of two living areas, one is usually a formal living room or lounge room, reserved for reading, relaxing and entertaining. A successful living room design is inviting, has enough seating for the whole clan – a comfortable couch is a must – and encourages conversation. Browse photos on Houzz for living room layouts, furniture and decor, and strike up a conversation with the interior designers or architects of your favourite picks.

Which living room layouts will work best for you?

Every living area will have design challenges. A long, narrow lounge room, for example, risks looking like a hallway if furniture is lined up against the walls. Instead, opt for small furniture items, like a cosy two-seater couch, and create various focal points throughout the space. In square living rooms, a symmetrical layout encourages a formal setting. Place seating on either side of the room, with a focal point in the middle to pull the room together. For a truly intimate vibe, replace your couch with some occasional chairs positioned around a coffee table or ottoman. This will make the main focus conversation. An open-plan home – one where the lines are blurred between kitchen, dining and living – may require a layout that focuses on definition. You’ll want to make sure furniture doesn’t block the flow between spaces, and instead use something like an area rug to create zones.

How can you decorate your living room?

The living room can be a place in which to show off your personality, but if you want a timeless living room scheme, stick to neutral walls, couches and ottomans. Colour can be added through accessories, and is a lot more interchangeable! Rugs, cushions and throws are great for adding colour, while mirrors, lamps and ceiling lights will set the mood. Make your living room unique by including family heirlooms and photos. For a polished look, try creating a coffee table vignette – you could use books as pedestals or group items together on a tray. Try adding a vase, a mixture of round and rectangular objects and some books.

What are some small living room ideas?

Small living room designs can be tricky to work with, but aren’t doomed to fail. Often, you just have to get creative with furniture. An open-back chaise can create a sense of spaciousness, while small side tables paired together can substitute a coffee table. Even better, an ottoman can be used as a footrest, coffee table or extra seating. Big furniture items like the couch are best kept in light colours, and if there’s room for a coffee table, a glass-top one is best. If you have two spaces in one – perhaps your living room sits in front of a single-wall kitchen – make sure they are connected by decor, colour and style. For definition, just add area rugs, or use your couch as a dividing wall. It’s worth having a few furniture pieces, whether a bookshelf, couch or entertainment unit, in the same colour as the walls, too, so they blend into the room and visually expand the space.

Is open-plan living for you?

Today’s homes often embrace open-plan living, whereby the living room runs off the kitchen and/or dining areas. Open-plan living allows greater functionality, but can risk creating a vast, soulless space if not done right. To avoid a cavernous feel in an open-plan design, define areas with furniture, rugs and lighting, or consider using a wall divider. Also be sure to keep flooring, lighting and materials consistent throughout, for cohesiveness. Noise may be an issue – someone banging pots and pans while you’re watching TV, for example – so include lots of soft furnishings, such as rugs, curtains and couches to help absorb the noise. You will also need to factor in plenty of storage, so mess is kept at bay.
