How to design a living room interior design of 20 sq m?

Layout 20 sq.

The living room of 20 meters cannot be called large, but it is quite convenient for receiving guests, work and sleep. The main area is a place to relax, it is decorated with upholstered furniture and a TV. The rest of the space is reserved for an office, library or conservatory.

Rectangular living room 20 m2

An elongated room is easier to divide into zones: in the first half of the room there is a sofa, in the second there is furniture for other purposes - a closet for storing clothes or books, a desk or even a kitchen.

In a narrow living room, it is important not to overload the space, so bulky walls and high racks in such a room are extremely undesirable.

Square lounge

The room of the correct form looks more spacious, especially if it has two windows. It is more difficult to divide a square living room into zones, but a roomy corner sofa perfectly fits into it. Usually it is placed along a free wall.

It is not recommended to install solid partitions between pieces of furniture, which will divide the space and create two uncomfortable areas. If zoning is necessary, a low rack, a bar counter or a chest of drawers is used.

Examples in a private house

In a country house, usually there are no difficulties with the arrangement of the hall, since the project is prepared in advance. Ideally, if at the construction stage the living room is equipped with two windows and high ceilings, as well as a stove or fireplace, which attract the eye and become the main decoration of the room.

Zoning

A hall with an area of ​​20 meters is quite simply divided into functional zones, but not all methods are suitable for implementing this idea. You can use partitions made of glass or wooden battens, as well as low structures. The most economical way to divide the space is to put furniture that will play several roles at once: a shelving unit and at the same time a library, a bar counter and a dining table. With this function, the sofa also copes well, separating the rest areas and the workplace.
