When designing a living room, we at TATHAASTU consider several factors including functionality, aesthetics, and personal style.

• 1. Functionality : Determine how you plan to use the living room. Will it be primarily for entertaining guests, relaxing, or serving multiple purposes? This will help you decide on the layout, furniture arrangement, and storage options.


• 2. Space Planning :Take into account the size and shape of the room. Consider traffic flow, focal points (such as a fireplace or TV), and how furniture will fit within the space. Ensure there's enough seating for the number of people you expect to accommodate.


• 3. Furniture Selection : Choose furniture pieces that suit your needs and complement the overall style of the room. Consider the scale of the furniture in relation to the room size. Opt for comfortable seating options, such as sofas and chairs with plush cushions.


• 4. Lighting : Incorporate a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create the desired mood and functionality. Consider using a mix of overhead lighting, floor or table lamps, and wall sconces. Dimmer switches can also provide flexibility.


• 5. Colors and Patterns : Select a color palette that reflects your personal taste and creates the desired atmosphere. Neutral tones, such as whites, grays, and beiges, can provide a timeless look, while bold colors can add vibrancy. Consider incorporating patterns through rugs, curtains, or accent pillows for visual interest.


• 6. Flooring : Choose flooring materials that are durable, easy to maintain, and suitable for your lifestyle. Options include hardwood, laminate, carpet, or tiles. Consider using area rugs to define specific zones within the living room.


• 7. Storage : Incorporate adequate storage solutions to keep the living room organized and clutter-free. Options include built-in shelving, bookcases, cabinets, or ottomans with hidden storage compartments.


• 8. Decorative Elements : Add personal touches and decorative elements, such as artwork, mirrors, plants, and decorative accessories, to enhance the overall aesthetic. These elements can help create a cohesive and inviting space.

Types of Living Rooms

• 1. Formal Living Room : Usually located near the entrance and designed for entertaining guests in a more formal setting.


• 2. Casual/Family Living Room : A relaxed space where the family gathers for everyday activities and relaxation.


• 3. Multi-Purpose Living Room : Designed to serve multiple functions, such as a living room and home office or a living room and play area for children.

Color Choices of Living Rooms

• 1. Neutral tones : Shades of white, beige, or gray can create a clean and timeless look, allowing other elements to stand out.


• 2. Bold colors : Vibrant hues, such as blues, greens, or yellows, can add energy & personality to the living room.


• 3. Earthy tones : Warm colors like browns, terracottas, and rusts can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.


• 4. Pastel Colors : Soft and light shades, like pale blues, pinks, or greens, can lend a calming and serene ambiance.


• 5. Monochromatic Schemes : Using varying shades of a single color can create a sophisticated and cohesive look.


• 6. Accent Colors : Adding pops of contrasting colors, such as reds, oranges, or purples, can create visual interest and focal points.
