Winter is the time for soggy and dull colours. Trees shed their leaves and turn brown. All the greenery turns grey and all around us we see damp and dry areas. And in such piercingly cold weather even a little bit of sunlight and brightness seems like a divine gift from the heavens. People spread outside their homes comfortably to enjoy this brightness but soon as the sun sets, smiles of great comfort wipe off peoples faces. Children especially are the most troubled group as they lose out on a lot of outdoor activity. Adults too are no less sad as lethargy creeps in and one is in no mood to do the chirpy and perky things that they would have otherwise loved to indulge in. So what do we do to make these damp winters bright? Of course redo our homes to wear a bright look that brings those lost smiles back.
First choose a bright colour that will suit your furniture and room decor. Our suggestion is go for light orange, bright green or blue. Now, how can you be unique in what youre planning? A major overhaul is whats on mind then go for light orange laminate films for your living room sit out. These laminates have a plastic finish and thats why people refer to them as plastic laminates. So use the plastic laminates in light orange for your living room sit out.
Available in the market now are great textures and finishes that have amazing style quotient. You can try the ruffled feather textured plastic laminate for your sit out and even your solid surface countertops that you have in the living room. Ruffled feather is a vertical texture that adds the illusion of standing tall. The inclusion of this texture in your living room will brighten it up by making it look spacious and huge. You can also use this same texture in your store fixtures. Use bright green coloured laminates instead for your store fixtures as green would bring in the feeling of surplus making your store appear full of warmth and intensity.
Coming back to your living room decor, if youre not a great fan of the light orange colour then you can also go for sun yellow that will suit the mood best for your living room sit out corner. To compliment it further use brown colour laminates for your sofa or the solid surface countertops. Further to bring in a light contrast, add cushions to your sofa that come in the dual patterns of brown and yellow. What you could do is to go for cushion covers in bease yellow with a floral pattern of brown forming little crevices on it. Aaah the perfect way to start a dull winter day in a bright living room!
