About Living Room projects
Daylight changes how colour and texture read in living room interiors. Window orientation and external shading affect glare and heat across Australia, so a palette needs to be tested in the home rather than judged from photographs alone. Use a house project such as Kew House by Bryant Alsop Architects to develop design ideas for connections between spaces, rather than focusing on the look of one room. A finish that appeals in an image may read differently beside existing flooring.
Living Room Interiors
Built-in joinery commits more of a renovation budget than a change of paint or loose furniture, and its dimensions need to suit daily use. Draw inspiration from Lighthouse Apartment by Arent&Pyke, but distinguish decorative choices from work that would require permission in your own apartment. Strata requirements may affect alterations to shared walls or services; resolve those constraints before detailing cabinetry.
How should lighting be planned around a television?
Position fittings so their light does not reflect directly in the screen, and put reading lamps beside the seats that need them. Separate switching or dimming lets the room accommodate television viewing without leaving the rest of the space dark.
What should a joinery brief include?
Measure the equipment and objects the joinery will hold, allowing for cable access and ventilation around electronics. Confirm power point positions before the cabinet design is finalised.
Can soft furnishings solve noise problems?
Rugs, curtains and upholstery can reduce reflected sound within a room. Noise passing through shared walls or floors needs a separate assessment of the building construction.
