Design Guidelines - Design Details

Summary:?

1. Don't treat your living room like a library, books are just an accessory.

Taller bookshelves help to increase the height of the empty area, and shorter bookshelves are suitable to be placed near that wall of the room that is narrower, such as leaning against a longer wall, which will divide this space into small pieces.

2. The artwork placed on the background of the large sofa border should be reserved 3.8-5 cm, leaving a distance of 3.8 cm between the borders is the best, more than 6.4 meters of empty space is ugly.

Larger artworks need to leave 5 centimeters of space between them, and the distance between the top and bottom of each artwork should be equal. When placing artwork or photos, you can place them on the floor first to see the effect.

3. When displaying items on a table or shelf, for some reason, odd numbers always look better.

Anything higher than 15 centimeters fits on a shelf, and anything lower than 15 centimeters fits on a tabletop.

4. A pair of square cushions of 46 or 41 centimeters on the sofa with a small rectangular cushion is also very cute. You can choose different materials and use solid and floral color matching guidelines.

5. The black color of the picture frames or small tables in which the items are placed will make the room much more noble.
