(Dan Tri) - Below are 6 basic mistakes people often make when arranging living room furniture and how to fix them to help change their living space during the New Year.
Keep the unsuitable items
Many people often keep old furniture that does not fit the space and modern lifestyle after renovating the house. It can be a set of traditional wooden sofas with elaborate carvings. Although these sets of chairs have the mark of time, they do not bring a feeling of comfort and joy when used daily.
So when you really want to renovate your living room to be comfortable and beautiful, you need to be brave enough to remove items that are no longer suitable and replace them with new, modern and more convenient items.
Use sofa set

Nowadays, sofa sets with rigid designs have become outdated and make the space monotonous. If you like a certain sofa, buy it separately instead of choosing a complete set. For example, you choose a large sofa as the main sofa with your favorite color and then coordinate the side chairs with neutral colors such as white, black, gray, cream.
In addition, there are countless types of coffee tables on the market for you to choose from to coordinate with your sofa. If you are not confident, wooden coffee tables and glass tables are safe choices. Another principle to help choose the right sofa is simple colors, few details, and patterns will suit any space.
The tea table is too small
Another mistake in living room design is the size of the objects are not compatible. If you choose a coffee table that is too small, it will create a feeling of incompatibility with the sofa and side chairs.
To test the size of the coffee table, you can sit on the sofa and reach for the cup of tea. If you have to stand up to reach the cup of tea, the coffee table is too small. On the contrary, a large coffee table will make the way to the sofa difficult and narrow.
The rug is too small
A rug that is too small does not reach the legs of the sofa. The right sized rug should at least touch the front legs of all living room sofas.
For a large living room, you can choose a rug that covers the entire sofa set. When using a rug, the living room becomes more cozy and has a focal point. In addition, when the feet touch the soft, warm carpet, it will make people want to stay and chat longer.
The light is not varied.
Usually people only use a single light source on the ceiling. This will make the space monotonous and lack of highlights.
To create a cozy space, the living room should have enough layers of lighting including general lighting, additional lighting and accent lighting. The arrangement of lighting in layers will create a very comfortable feeling for people in that space.

Don’t just use one ceiling light to shine down on the living room. Try buying a table lamp on a shelf or coffee table or combine it with floor lamps and decorative candles. The contrast between light and dark in the room will help people feel more comfortable.
Lack of balance
The most common mistake in interior design is the lack of balance in height, width, and number of objects in the space. If the living room only has a coffee table and sofa, it will create a feeling of imbalance and tilt towards the floor. You can balance the height by hanging low lights, arranging plants, small bookshelves or hanging pictures on the wall.
The balance of quantity will be more difficult to quantify and depends on each space and each individual. If looking at the space your eyes feel uncomfortable because of too much furniture, you should remove some.
Regarding color, you should not choose more than 3 colors. To make the space more creative, you can choose the light and dark shades of the 3 main colors to coordinate with the interior choice.
