Why is the living room ugly? The wrong lounge chair was chosen

Many people who have completed renovations often wonder: Why does my living room look so messy and not as organized as I imagined? There are many potential reasons for this, including incorrect sofa wall design, incorrect furniture styles, or simply too many or too many legs...

In addition to the above issues, there is another issue that we have overlooked, that is, the choice of leisure chairs . Whether the living room looks good or not, leisure chairs really cannot be ignored. If you make a mistake in choosing the right one, the combination of the living room will be ruined.

The two largest color blocks in the living room furniture should be the sofa and the carpet, so following the logic of primary and secondary, they should be the protagonists in the space, and the remaining leisure chairs and coffee tables should play supporting roles.

If at this time there is a leisure chair that is taller than the sofa and more eye-catching in color than the carpet, wouldn’t it have the consequence of overshadowing the sofa? The visual effect after the priority is disrupted will definitely be messy , which is why we feel that the whole space is messy.

Now that we have found the root of the problem, how should we choose a leisure chair? Here are the answers for you:

Correct approach:

1. Choose a lightweight style;

2. Neutral colors and log/light brown are the best choices;

3. The height should be similar to that of the sofa, not too much higher.

Summarize:

1. First determine the style of the sofa, and then consider the leisure chair after buying the sofa. The order cannot be messed up ;

2. Determine the style of the lounge chair, whether it is consistent (such as pure modern style) or mixed (such as modern-retro style) ;

3. Pay attention to the height of the two, and try to choose a leisure chair that is about the same height or lower than the sofa ;

4. Pay attention to the sofa legs and the leisure chair brackets, try to choose the same material and no obvious difference in color

5. If you particularly like a leisure chair, but it is much higher than the sofa, then just make sure that the space in your living room is spacious enough and move the leisure chair as far away from the sofa as possible , so that you can reduce the visual discomfort to a certain extent.
