Living room furniture: how to make it super bright in the middle of winter

A cosy and bright living room even in the middle of winter? Just focus on light-coloured wooden furniture, lots of white and complements that unify everything.

 

Having a living bright and welcoming is the dream of many.

Unfortunately, in the middle of winter, due to less natural light, it is more difficult to make the various rooms in the house, including the living room, as bright as we would like them to be. The risk is that we abuse artificial light in an attempt to make the room seem brighter, with unpleasant feedback on the bill.

In reality, there are several small tricks that can help make your living room chic and bright, whatever the season.

The first element to be chosen carefully is undoubtedly the colour paletteWhite, in all its nuances, from optical white to soft nuances of cream and ivory, is undoubtedly the first ally for brightening up the living room. Painting the walls and ceiling white, but also choosing furnishings in this beautiful non-colour, is the ideal solution to give light to the environment in a natural way.

However, to avoid making the room seem excessively impersonal, or even 'aseptic', it is important to dose the amount of white well softening it with softer shades or mixing it with very light pastel colours without missing a few touches of grey or black to create an interesting contrast as well.

To make our living room extremely bright, however, white is not the only way. furnishings that are in agreement with this Nordic mood and that they do not dampen it with their heaviness. Green light therefore to white or light wood furnishingsminimal and linear shapes, with furniture that is not too high so as not to risk 'suffocating' the room. On the contrary, it is good to focus on low furniture and tables to give the room a more spacious feel.

Fundamental then the detailsIt is pointless to choose light-coloured furniture if it then comes with heavy, austere knobs and handles. Much better to opt for simple, refined solutions in bright shades such as aluminium effect, polished chrome or white lacquer. Le Polideas handles and knobs designed for the living room are perfect to complement furniture in an essential way, contributing to a brighter feeling.

Wood is undoubtedly the first choice when you want to have a cosy and bright living room. parquet floor made of maple, beech, fir or pine, all of which are very light-coloured and perfect for completing the room without creating an excessive aesthetic gap between the various surfaces.

Leather, perhaps for sofas or armchairs and always in light shades, is also a good choice, as are further glass or mirror-effect surfaces can be the ideal solution to complete the environment.

If you don't have a lot of space and the living area is very small, a good solution to emphasise the available light is to focus on shelvesin order to make the most of the vertical space in the room without overloading it with furniture.

The shelves should also naturally be as simple as possible, preferably in light wood or glass, to give a more spacious feel: to fix them to the wall, choose some shelf support with a metallic effect like those of Polideasdesigned precisely for modern, bright living.

 

Finally, do not underestimate the importance of the'lightingnatural lighting can be increased through a structure that leaves ample space for windows and French windows, but if space is tight, then choose artificial lighting carefully.

For a natural effect choose recessed spotlights to be placed on the ceiling, ceiling lights to be mounted on the walls and stylised lamps placed in strategic points of your living room.

The result will be absolutely perfect and very natural.
