The video listed all the secrets of a beautiful sofa area
1 Beautifully drape the plaid
The plaid is a universal textile accessory that can be used to hide in the cool evening, or to protect the seat from pets and traces of use. However, it is not necessary to cover the surface of the sofa completely all the time: the impression of the plaid, no matter how stylish it is, will fade. It is much better to beautifully throw a fabric over a corner of upholstered furniture, hooking the armrest, parts of the backrest and seat. Such a slightly careless effect will refresh the room. With the help of a plaid, you can add a bright color accent or support an already created palette.
2 Mix different textures
A variety of textures for any interior style is the key to a wow effect. Fabrics can be introduced through decorative pillows and blankets. For example, cozy rough textures will fit into a Scandi-style living room, and smooth ones with a sparkle of Art Deco and neoclassical. Depending on your interior, use cotton of different densities, silk, satin, velour, linen, boucle. By mixing these textures in different ways, you can change the mood of the room several times a year. A wool rug with a rattan basket near the sofa will complement the textured picture.
3 Arrange a scattering of pillows on the sofa
Put larger models of simple shapes back to the back of the sofa, and put small and unusual ones forward. Rectangular, round, curly, in the form of rollers, with tassels, pompoms, prints, inscriptions, this is the case when you can take a bold design step, combining the incongruous. An unusual bright result is provided, and it is always easy to redo the composition.
Tip: it is better to buy not ready-made, already stuffed pillows, but decorative covers for filler pillows. This way you will save space (it is much more convenient to store pillowcases than whole pillows) and you will be able to easily clean textiles. Moreover, pillowcases can be put on top of each other without taking up space in the closet.
4 Highlight the recreation area
Many, thinking over the design, do not pay enough attention to lighting, but in vain. It can not only perform its utilitarian function, but also visually complement the interior. To make the sofa area relax and at the same time look great, highlight it. This can be done with a floor lamp on a leg on the side or an overhanging model. If you plan the electrics in advance, you can install suspensions descending from the ceiling. Another option is to put one or two lamps on a bedside table or coffee table. The lamp can be "dissolved" in the interior by choosing a neutral design, or make it an accent by choosing a non-standard shape.
5 Decorate the space adjacent to the sofa
The sofa area is, of course, not one sofa. Therefore, it is important to use the space and objects nearby. Add a pouf (as a footrest or another seat), and let the decor on the coffee table "echo" the textiles on the sofa. A truly magazine effect will be given to the room by the wall gallery trend, which everyone can interpret in their own way. Stylishly decorated family photos, fashion posters, pictures with an important meaning for you, a few bright panels, fantasize and do not forget that the wall decor should be combined with a sofa.
6 Combine the elements with a carpet
Carpet is not just an important textile component of the overall picture, it is a significant link. The pattern, shape, color of the carpet (or a small rug) depends on the overall style of the room and your desire to make it a base or accent. But be attentive to the location. Put a small rug right in front of the sofa, retreating 15-20 cm from the legs. Slide the large one slightly under the sofa, and put a coffee table in the center of it.
