Inspiration - Interior Design for Living Rooms
A living room should be warm, beautiful, and welcoming. At Sekelskifte, we are passionate about offering the full range of products for renovation, refurbishment, and interior design in an old-fashioned style, from woodwork and fittings to decorative brass candlesticks. With the right materials and details, your living room can reflect the era while still being functional for modern everyday life.
Furniture and room structure
In a classic living room interior, the furniture should be symmetrical and balanced. Place the sofa against a feature wall or mirror the furniture along the rooms to create harmony. In smaller rooms – as in many apartments – narrow furniture, minimalist shelves, and built-in bookcases can give an airy feel without sacrificing character. For us at Sekelskifte, living room decor is as much about making room for the details as it is about the furniture itself.
Colors, wallpaper, and wall decorations
Inspiration for living room colors in a turn-of-the-century spirit often involves muted, earthy colors such as deep green, gray-blue, and beige, preferably painted in linseed oil paint or with classic wallpaper patterns. A feature wall in patterned wallpaper can add depth and visual interest. But the walls also offer opportunities for living room inspiration: frame art or graphic prints in period-style wooden or gilded frames. The combination of wall color and picture wall gives the room soul and narrative.
Textiles, lighting, and ambiance
Here, the details will make a big difference. Linen and cotton textiles in muted tones create a soft overall look. Curtains, cushions, and rugs help to dampen sound and light. But for the real cosiness factor: brass candlesticks – table candlesticks, large floor candlesticks, or classic candelabras can be elegant accents that combine historical aesthetics with function. Together with well-placed lamps in glass, porcelain, or brass, the living room takes on a warm and contemporary glow, where every corner can become a place for rest and reflection.
