Designing a living room is something that you should do with care and attention. You will need to make sure that you don’t miss anything when it comes to interior design and have in count your taste, personality and, above all, lifestyle. After all, you are going to live in there; it is you who is going to rest in your living room after a long day of work.

Who is the owner?
The living room design will not be used by an interior designer or architect but by its owner. To reach success, you need to get to know the owner by asking them the following questions:
- How is your lifestyle? Can you describe your everyday?
- How are you going to use the room?
- What are the main attributes of your personality?
- What are you looking for in a living room?
- What are your non-negotiable values?
- What do you like the most: something practical or something that looks rich in addornments?
And feel free to add even more questions. A living room should always reflect the owner’s personality and lifestyle. It must attend to his needs and his taste, so you should have in count the answers to these basic questions. Understand how he wants to live in his own home.
If you are going to design your own living room, this step also is directed to you – self-awareness is one of the most valuable things you can have and, when it comes to interior design, it will help you to save money (by buying the exact amount of elements you need) and it will give you more confidence, especially when receiving guests in your home. And who doesn’t want to receive guests in a stylish living room?
