INTERIOR DESIGN

Living spaces

What defines modern living today? How can you design a space that is both welcoming and, most importantly, comfortable? A spot where you want to linger. A place where rough textures and soft fabrics blend harmoniously. Where light interacts with the room, ebbing and flowing gracefully to soothe the senses. Well-designed spaces are utilized more frequently and become true living areas because everything is perfectly arranged. They are not only visually appealing but also iconic. Such spaces should be easy to maintain and functionally efficient.

Figure 1. Let's examine the image above. Is the lighting appropriate above the sofa, and does the sofa appear comfortable? The tiles have an industrial look, while the wood effect above the TV adds warmth to the appearance of the cool tiles.

Figure 2. While the layout closely mirrors the previously mentioned interior design, the lighting in this image seems more balanced and potentially more sophisticated, suggesting that greater attention has been devoted to it. The sofa exudes comfort.

Figure 3. The lighting in this room significantly enhances the ambiance. The furniture reflects an Italian design concept, with the use of wood in various colors and shapes contributing to its elegance. The chocolate-colored panels create a striking effect and effectively manage the overall tone of the space.

Figure 4. Here, artificial lighting is significantly reduced. The majority of illumination is provided by a wall of glazing, with a small lamp adding extra brightness to potentially dim corners. This creates a more tranquil environment. However, there may still be a sense of "waiting," raising the question of whether true calmness is fully realized.

Figure 5. The parquet flooring is complemented by a grey wool rug. The use of black in this room is effectively balanced with lighter grey tones in the paint and soft furnishings. Strip lighting and spotlights enhance the leather sofa, adding a sophisticated touch to the black elements, making them stand out.

Figure 6. This Scandinavian room is elegantly divided into two sections by a central island. The modern wall finishes are visually striking, while the exposed ceiling beams create dynamic lighting zones. The L-shaped sofa exudes luxury, and the wooden table, with its natural texture, is accentuated by a crafted central feature. The addition of plants introduces an earthy ambiance, encapsulating a sense of tranquility throughout the space.
