At the same time, a spacious, bright living room can seem uncomfortable and empty if there are not enough elements in it. Today, large living rooms are found not only in country-type houses and luxury apartments, but also in standard apartments. In the latter version, they are often created by combining different rooms and connecting several zones in the hall.

Advantages and disadvantages
Among the advantages of a large room for the hall the following can be distinguished:
- the ability to arrange many different functional areas and visually or physically delimit them;
- room for experimentation - you can include a fireplace, columns, and other interesting elements in the composition;
- there is no need to visually expand the space, so you can not limit yourself in the choice of style, decor, colors.
There are also disadvantages that, despite all their conventions, must be taken into account at the initial stage of the repair:
- high repair costs from a financial point of view - the larger the area, the more expensive it will eventually cost;
- it is necessary to carefully consider the zoning of the room, lighting systems, the choice of materials for different zones, otherwise the overall composition will be inharmonious;
- with improper or insufficient arrangement, it may seem uncomfortable, empty.

Style
The choice of style direction is the basis of design.Only after deciding on it, you can proceed to the selection of materials, colors, lighting systems, decor, textiles. Zoning methods also often depend on what style is chosen for the overall composition. A large hall area does not guarantee a successful design - if the details do not correspond to the chosen direction, the balance will be disturbed. Designers recommend considering different styles for arranging large rooms in apartments.

Art deco
This style of luxury and opulence is characterized by some striking details that would be completely out of place in a small room. Round mirrors, massive frames, baguettes, dimensional chandeliers with curved details, silver and crystal, curved carved furniture legs - all this will clutter up even a medium-sized living room, and will look great in a large one. In Art Deco, combinations of shades of milk and chocolate are most often used. They emphasize the richness and elegance of the details.

Neoclassic
If the usual classic style seems too pretentious to you, and you are striving for modern, functional interiors, you should consider neoclassicism. This direction combines all the features of a classic interior with the lightness, practicality of modern design solutions. This style looks especially impressive in two-level rooms. Here the focus is on light, space, air. The best ideas of classics and minimalism combine to create an ideal solution for those who love unusual design. As a color scheme, you can use a monochrome combination in a light range. Furniture should be selected lightweight, comfortable.

Loft
This industrial style is now very popular, largely due to its uniqueness and budget. It is not recommended to embody the loft style in small rooms. Such a living room will only look uncomfortable and poor. Here you need space, a lot of air, free space. The loft-style living room only gives the impression of uncomfortableness, in fact, it is quite comfortable.
The characteristic features of the loft: rough finish, brickwork, wooden beams on the ceiling, a stove-type stove, large panoramic windows, uncovered wires, pipes, and other communications.

- Dark gamut. When decorating a large area, you can not be afraid of visual crampedness, so dark tones can be safely used. Brown and black colors look impressive in the large hall. But the balance of shades must be maintained. As the main background, black and dark brown are not suitable even for huge halls. In large quantities, these tones depress the psyche and irritate.
And the dark wine range will look amazing in a large room. Use these shades as complementary or accent shades.
