 A
sitting-room is a place which is mainly decorated and designed to meet guests.
This is the place where people sit and spend the time discussing over
something. The dining room is for the loud parties and feasts. The meal is
taken in the dining room and guests – in the sitting room, to be stated by one
of classic writers. When you can boast with the apartments of eight rooms
there, this is a perfect base to follow this principle providing you have a
small family. The modern flats are rather smaller, unfortunately, and the place
is used for many purposes then.
Doing this, the space should be parted in zones
if and when it is applicable or make the dining furniture attract little
attention as possible. As an alternative, the dining room table is employed in
the sitting room decorated with the tablecloth styled the accessory from the
XIX century made from the heavy solid velvet with long dangling tassels. The
furniture dictates the rules to meet guests in the sitting room. The room should
not be overcrowded with furniture, whatever fantastic it is, until you want to
see how your guests manage to show athletic exercises trying to pass all those cabinets,
tables, cupboards and other pieces of furniture, even if you adore the set.
Wardrobes and
cupboards are not the pieces of furniture to place in sitting room at all until
you have the rare collection of the Sèvres or Meissen porcelain and this is the reason to
acquire the modern show-case from wood or metal or glass that shades the beauty
of items to exhibit to add some more luster.
The soft furniture
is what the comfortable sitting room needs with cozy sofas and armchairs so
pleasing for guests. The special cabinets for the sophisticated equipment are
required and once you want to have your sitting room styled in baroque, you
need to have the furniture by custom especially for you.
When
choosing the furniture for your sitting room, bear in mind that a
must-have
condition is that the units should harmonize and go with each other to
create the
entire ensemble, a composition that will sing for your comfort. And
only them your sitting room will get the realgracious uniqueness.
The furniture may be of good quality
but when the minimalism-styled coffee table neighbors with the
baroque-styled
china cabinet, the appearance will be ridiculous to break the
impression. Yet,
the style discord will cause the wrong perception of the details.
Winter-gardens
in sitting rooms look graceful and the greenery should be a lot. Such a place
provokes the thought of the fairy tale where it is too pleasing and joyful to
communicate and spend the time. This is the place to relax. The winter garden requires coffee tables from glass
and lighter soft banquette couches a la Louis XIV, so called elegant garden benches upholstered
with the floral pattern tissue.
The only
problem for the winter-garden is to conceal the appliances like a TV or an
audio equipment. The special cabinets are designed for this purpose to hide all
unnecessary equipment for the moment and to use it with the light stroke of the
hand.
The sitting
room can be designed in many styles, including minimalism, hi-tech, ethno and
so forth. And beautiful furniture is available to match any of these styles.
Minimalism and hi-tech styles welcome the glass, plastic and metal in almost
all details. The fine wood is employed in ethno, baroque and Empire styled
interior.
The kind of
wood for the style you choose should be considered thoroughly. So, the tic and oak
are more preferred for the sitting room in British style. The African and
Moroccan motifs perfectly go with the bamboo, palm tree and other exotic woods.
The baroque is the lavish oak carving work though when the furniture pieces are
too many, the impression of gloomy place will be created.
The
trendiest colors for the sitting room today include the natural shades like
ochre, terra cota, olive and umber. So, there is no need to décor your place
with a plenty of unnecessary napkins, vivid mats and other details. The natural
color of the wood works enough to build the right atmosphere.
