If you miss your old living room, here’s how to incorporate it into your new home.
Do you agree that our grandparents’ house was far more comfortable than modern city apartments? We miss not only the love but also the warmth and niceness that emanated from their living rooms. That is the traditional living room that we all seek today.
If you don’t have the affection, you can always recreate the traditional living room design in your urban home with a few minor changes. While the traditional home decor is timeless, here are a few ideas to help you transform your living room right now.
Most city dwellers secretly wish for a swing to be a part of their living space. Due to limited space, not everyone can bring one home. You can always replace a sofa with a swing designed to look like one. A traditional swing for the living room, especially one with intricate designs, can add to the beauty. It serves as a seating area as well as fulfills your desire to spend your leisure time swinging this, too, can be purchased from an antique store or custom-made to your specifications.
People are only now looking for monochromatic curtains for their living rooms. Printed curtains made living rooms look more appealing back then. The windows in most traditional Indian homes are adorned with at least one set of printed curtains. Printed curtains with flowers, abstract art, birds, leaves, and other designs were popular, and you can bring them back if you want a luxury traditional living room. Printed curtains can attract attention in the same way that designed wallpapers do these days. This also allows you to reduce the decor of the living room, which is a great way to instantly improve the look and feel of the room.
Antique furniture for your living room may have been passed down from your parents or may be easily purchased from specialized shops. In any case, antique furniture becomes a part of ethnic traditional Indian living room designs, making your urban home appear cozy. The elaborate designs or, more likely, the use of high-quality wood are what give it a traditional feel. It could be the side tables, the center table, the storage cabinets, the sofa, or any other living room furniture – antique wooden furniture has a special place.
Even though modern trends in living room sofas may vary, soft and spacious sofas will never go out of style. This is when you turn into a couch potato, wanting to sleep or lie down all day and watch your favorite shows on TV. These sofas not only allow you to sit comfortably, but they also tempt you to nap. With cushions for added comfort, this will remind you of traditional Indian living room designs you may recall or have seen in your parent’s homes. Install the proper upholstery and watch the magic happen.
