Decorate your living rooms!

A living room is not just a part of the home. Its the place where we spent time with family. The demand for compact homes in Chennai are increasing rapidly. Here are few interesting tips to create vibrant and classy living rooms.

CONTEMPORARY STYLE

In contemporary style the whole room looks elegant and classy. Follow these tips to change the style of your living room.

1. Create focus by investing in a wall art.
2. Choose a bold flooring
3. Play around with warm color tones
4. Exhibit large size statement pieces.


RETRO STYLE 

Retro style is where the traditional antique look is maintained. If you are a lover of dark tones, choose a retro make-over and stylize your living rooms. 

1. Choose dark wood furnishing in tones like walnut, rosewood, teak etc.
2. Pick simple color schemes like chocolate brown against white & cream.
3. Minimal interiors with a classic wooden flooring.

REFLECTIONS!

MIX N MATCH STYLE

Mix n match is the new style in interior design. Throw light colors against dark and neon colors. Mix up contemporary furnishings and statement antique pieces. Being inspired by nature is also an ideal choice. 

1. Get inspired by a favorite color, a piece of fabric or an exotic painting.
2. Work with the same color intensity while mixing pastels.
3. A large or smaller floral, a stripe and a check make a great combination. 

ECLECTIC STYLE

Why to stick on to one plain, when you have many to choose? Diversity is the basic of eclectic style. Never hesitate to pick contrasting furniture. Be it antique or contemporary, eclectic gives space to all your love for furniture. 

1. Strike a balance between crisp and cozy.
2. Create islands of beauty through the use of flowers & indoor plants.
3. Set the neutral backdrop.  Use color to spice it up.
4. Mix contrasting colors and create magic. 

COTTAGE STYLE

A cottage style living room is complete only if it is decorated with natural elements. Try out and pick few seashells, oyster shells and orchids. Choose white for furnishings and curtains.   

1. Embrace nature with simple and basic style. 
2. Choose a vibrant mix of colors like taupe & grey
3. Decor with weathered furnishings.
4. Mix & layer different patterns in various colors.
5. Integrate natural elements into your home.

THE ART OF COLOR-O-SCOPE

What all can you do to make your home in Chennai look beautiful and attractive? Paint? Change the interiors? Furnish with contemporary furniture? If you start thinking there are umpteen ways to transform a dull space in your luxury home in Chennai to a more active and bright corner. Sometimes a change in furnishing makes the difference. On some other occasion a change in the paint color will create a better ambiance

Vijay Shanthi presents few interesting and innovative painting ideas where we hope to touch every aspect of painting a space, from prepping the home in Chennai to applying textures and stencils. Let’s start with some basic guidelines on choosing the right paint color and tips on preparing the room before painting:

Step 1: Selecting the paint color

Select the right theme and enjoy the bright life with colors!
Before you even walk out to buy paint, finalize a color scheme for each room in your home in Chennai. Once this decision has been made, the rest is just the time needed for execution! Here are a few tips on where to start:
  1. Start by deciding what you’d like the finished space to feel like; charming, cheerful, dramatic or elegant. 
  2. Consider using a blocking color paint to highlight the architectural features of the room like window casings, doors, wardrobes etc.
  3. Keep in mind the color of your existing flooring and other dominant furnishings while making your selection.
  4. If you plan to shop for new fabrics and decorations, buy them before because choices for these items are far lesser than paint colors. Once you've got all the key essentials of your home in place, it’s all about picking complementary shades of paint.
  5. Lastly, buy small tester paint and try it on a small portion of your wall, preferably in a corner close to the floor. Live with it for at least a day before you decide to proceed!


 Step 2: Preparing the Room
  1. Move furniture and any other disruptive items out of the way.
  2.  Cover up using tarp or old bed sheets which you won’t miss.
  3.  Don’t forget to cover the floor using an anti-slip drop cloth as well.
  4.  Lastly, tape up any power points, light fixtures and door knobs which may become painting casualties!

 Paint. Color. Stay happy! Stay bright!
