Decor Ideas For Your Living Cum Drawing Room

For many homemakers and interior decorators, there is no other space that demands more of their attention and crafty skills in their homes than living cum drawing rooms. It can be very challenging for you when your house sports a giant space that needs to be managed as both, a living room and also a drawing room.

Before I go on further talking about living cum drawing room, let me tell you the difference between the two so that you understand well what needs to be done while defining one room from the other.

Living room is mainly for family recreation where you can lie around comfortably watching T.V. having a fun time with family, however, guests are also welcomed in living room. A drawing room is especially designed to hold formal meetings with guests who come for a shorter period of time for various purposes.

Maintaining a living cum drawing room needs master planning so that it maintains its welcoming appeal. It requires sheer intelligence and creative mind because not only do you have to bring out the respective purposes (of chilling out with family and carrying out formal discussion with guests) in well-defined manner but since both these purposes will share a common space, you will also have to work out ways to maintain that harmony.

So all those of you who are scratching their heads thinking of ways to decorate their living cum drawing rooms, we bring to you certain décor ideas that may prove helpful.

In Case Of A Small Living Room
If you have a small living room space, be sure not to include too much of furniture. Avoiding cluttering up the space makes the small living room look bigger. Use small/medium sized, compact dual-purpose furniture instead of large sofas.

Also instead of using too many decorative pieces, use a large decorative mirror that may make your small living room look greater than it size.

Defining The Two Spaces
As the term suggests, living cum drawing room is a single space owned up by two open rooms. Here in order to bring out the purposes of both rooms, you need to craftily define living room well from the drawing room while still maintaining the harmony. Use room dividers or curtains to divide the two areas.

Play With the Colours Intelligently
You can either use the same colours in different shades and tones in both rooms or you can choose contrasting hues. In order to decide the colour pattern, just make sure that the feeling of change one should get while stepping from living room to drawing room or vice versa is gradual and soothing but not drastic.

Decorate With Indoor Plants
Indoor plants are great indoor accessories. If you have steps going upwards from your living room put some potted plants on the steps or decorate the railing with indoor creepers. You can also place plants on wood stands beside sofas in your drawing room.

Decorating your living cum drawing room with indoor plants at appropriate places not only gives the big space a fresh, welcoming appeal but it also balances a synchronization between the two open rooms.
