\nAnd here we go.<\/p>\n
Designing your living room can be a major minefield.
\nDon\u2019t get me wrong; you\u2019re probably doing most of the things right. But there\u2019s always those one or two sneaky things that get in the way of a perfect living room design.
\nAnd with the interior design industry in Bangladesh growing at a huge speed, in 2019, you cannot afford to slip up.
\nAs I was saying, designing your living room can be a major minefield…if you don\u2019t know what you are doing.
\nAnd Tilottoma Limited, a rising young star in interior design in Bangladesh, will reveal to you \u2013 not what you may know about living room design, but 5 things about living room design you don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
\nAnd here we go.<\/p>\n
Tip #1 \u2013 Plan before you start designing<\/strong><\/p>\n Over our long career in interior design, we have often seen clients do DIY design \u2013 without planning for it. The sketch doesn\u2019t have to be perfect but it should be proportional. For example, if you\u2019re planning to have a sofa, you should draw it proportional to its actual size. Tip #2 \u2013 Lighting<\/strong><\/p>\n Lighting is an essential element in any design. Before you buy any bulbs, think about what kind of atmosphere you want to create in your living room. Tip #3 \u2013 The Sofa<\/strong><\/p>\n Sounds surprising? So, focus on comfort. And keep an eye on size \u2013 like we said earlier, you don\u2019t want to get a sofa that you can\u2019t fit like you planned it. Space planning is very important.<\/p>\n Tip #4 \u2013 Keep a plant in your living room<\/strong><\/p>\n A large plant would be the best, but if you can\u2019t fit a large on, get a small one and set it on a tabletop or a window.<\/p>\n An element of nature does a lot to make your living room cheery. Tip #5 \u2013 Don\u2019t go overboard with Accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n Everybody knows about living room accessories. In short, Designing your living room can be a major minefield. Don\u2019t get me wrong; you\u2019re probably doing most of the things right. But there\u2019s always those one or two sneaky things that get in the way of a perfect living room design.

\nRather, they just search for \u2018living room design tips\u2019 on Google and pick out tips at random.
\nThat\u2019s not how you should go about it.
\nDesign is a holistic process. All the living room design tips you read on Google are fine but without a master design plan, they won\u2019t gel. It\u2019ll become a hotchpotch.
\nSo, sketch out whatever ideas you have. If you have access to 3D Design tools like AutoCAD, use those. If you don\u2019t, just do it with pen and paper.<\/p>\n
\nOtherwise, your design will look perfect on paper, but it won\u2019t work in real life.
\nAnother issue is color. If you have a color sense, fine. But if you don\u2019t, you can consider consulting with someone about colors.<\/p>\n![\"Well-designed](\"https:\/\/aapkapainter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/FIM-Well-Designed-Living-Room-300x200.jpg\")

\nAnd it is something many amateur or DIY designers forget to plan for.
\nIf you\u2019re not surrounded by high buildings, at daytime, you should allow sunlight to flood your living room.
\nHave at least one mirror that can reflect the light throughout the room, and see to it that none of your furniture blocks sunlight from shining all throughout the room.
\nFor night however you will have to have a lighting system.<\/p>\n
\nIf you\u2019re looking for a lively atmosphere, go for bright, white light bulbs.
\nIf you\u2019re looking for a more relaxed and soothing design, go for frosted glass bulbs that diffuse the light.
\nOr, if you have a higher budget, you can go for a light dimming system that will allow you to set the light brightness as you want.<\/p>\n![\"Potted](\"https:\/\/aapkapainter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Potted-Plant-Inside-Living-Room-300x200.jpg\")

\nThe sofa is something you don\u2019t know?
\nWell, obviously, you know that a good living room almost mandatorily needs a sofa. But what you could be doing wrong is how you go about selecting it.
\nWe\u2019ve seen so many clients go for the \u2018fanciest\u2019 sofa they see. Twisted legs, curved arms and all that.
\nRemember, the main purpose of a sofa is for people to be able to sit on it comfortably. And a comfortable sofa has a cosy look of its own that is quite charming.<\/p>\n![\"Comfortable](\"https:\/\/aapkapainter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Comfortable-Sofa.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nCacti look good but there\u2019s the danger of someone brushing their bare skin against it and getting stung.
\nSo you should opt for a bonsai of your choice. You can get them for 300-400 Tk.
\nOr you can go for something more eclectic, like a garlic plant or a money plant in an aquarium.<\/p>\n
\nWhat many people don\u2019t know is when to stop putting more accessories in their living room.
\nDon\u2019t have so many accessories that your room looks more like an accessories dealership.
\nAnd remember, accessories don\u2019t have to be something you bought.
\nFramed family photos can be accessories. A medal someone won in college can be an accessory.
\nIn fact, personal objects sometimes accessorize a living room a whole lot better than commercially bought ones.<\/p>\n![\"Well-lit](\"https:\/\/aapkapainter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Well-Lit-Living-Room-Both-Sunlight-And-Lighting-System.jpg\")
