The living room is the space where the family spends most time together. If you and your family are enamored with the look of a regal and extravagant interior design for the living room, you’ve come to the right place.
We will walk you through the different elements needed to put together a simple room and make it into a royal living room interior design.
1. High texture
One feature common to all homes which ooze regality is how much they play with different textures. Think plush rugs, linen or velvet throw pillows and mixed metal fittings on furniture. If you want to go a step further, bring the texture onto your walls too!
2. Deep colours
Another aspect commonly seen in homes which have a royal touch are deep colours. These could be royal blue, marsala, golds, mustards, violets or even greens. You don’t have to paint an entire wall that colour but just have pops running throughout the living room space.
3. Invest in moulding to enhance the royalty feeling
If you want to go back to the basics, modify the architecture by adding or enhancing existing moulding. Ceiling designs or crown moulding on walls have a stunning quality to them.
4. A hidden TV set
There’s something about a TV set that seems out of place in a room with a royal appearance. If you do still want to keep a television set, consider concealing it with a sliding display shelf or a painting.
5. Regal Upholstery
Upholstery can make or break a room. Go for luxury velvet or silk draped curtains with nice fasteners to keep them in place. Make sure that they complement the colours in the room. Balance out the fabric in the room, you could even go a step further and upholster an entire wall! (The upkeep would be a major responsibility though, especially in moist climates like ours.)
6. Say it with Art and Sculpture
Pick out art and sculptures for the living room space that fit into the vision you have for the room. Make sure that the colours and materials have a natural flow to them. Don’t be afraid to invest in a few conservation starter pieces for your living room design.
7. Multiple seating options
Just a large sofa set will not do to complete the look (and seating requirements) in a regal living room. Consider adding low seating, a diwan, a daybed and a few ottomans scattered throughout the space.
8. Don’t forget the floors
A part of the room people forget to incorporate into the design are the floors. Carpeting is one thing but make sure that the flooring (tiles and finishes) is in line with the rest of the room.
9. Intricate lighting fixtures
After looking up, it’s important to look up! Don’t be stingy- splurge on a luxe pendant light or chandelier to deliver with high impact!
10. High ceilings
Nothing quite says luxury as high ceilings do. The higher the ceiling, the more oomph a room has.
