Lounge

The Lounge is your sanctuary; it's where you go to leave work behind and relax. It's also where you socialise, where you make memories with the people you love and care about. How you improve your lounge can improve your entire experience in your home. How you choose to unwind should give you guidance on how to renovate.

Design Inspirations

Setting the Mood

The mood in your lounge can be highly effected by the colour you decide on for the space. Certain colours will energise the occupants like warm colours that fall in the red spectrum, whereas cold colours that fall in the blue spectrum will make you feel relaxed and calm. How you decide to paint your lounge is up to you but always remember to protect your room and furniture from messy spills and splatters.

Wood or Carpet?

​Carpet or wood? Living in a country where the winters can be very cold, our natural instinct is to choose carpet, but consider how the wood alternative might benefit you. Wood is a lot easier to clean and for those with a busy lifestyle, it can be less time consuming. If you're worried about keeping the room warm, why not look at under floor heating?

Let There Be Light

To achieve an even spread of light, position light sources so they create a rough triangle. You should aim for layers of light, so don't underestimate the option of lamps as well as light bulbs. Natural lighting enhances the feeling of openness in a space, greatly helping if you have a smaller lounge. Look into the option of adding a few windows or dressing them to give a little something extra to the overall design.
