If you had an unlimited budget to redesign and buy new things for your living room, no restrictions on the amount of money you can spend, what would you spend it on? Would you go for something completely different to what you have now? Or would you just essentially upgrade your existing living room?
The first thing I would buy would be a television for the living room, in the age of modern technology the television has become the focal point of most living rooms. The television is now not only used for watching TV, you can use it for everything from Gaming and online streaming services like Netflix to Skype. I would personally get a huge TV, there is a new ultra slim HD television which has an incredible 84-inch screen. That would be perfect for my dream living room and would sit proudly up on my wall connected to a surround sound speakers placed all over the room.
What is the point of a huge TV if there is nowhere to sit? Every living room normally has a seating area suited to those you live in the house, if you have a small family then your seating area is most likely a small area of the living room. The style of your seating area essentially depends on what kind of style you want to achieve in your home. If I had the unlimited budget I would go for a modern, sleek style for my seating area. It would be large enough to create a minimalistic look to the room and provide seating for friends and family to come around.
Like every garden should have garden bench and chairs similarly every good living room should have a bookcase. The bookcase is the home of knowledge, reading is a great, peaceful activity to immerse yourself in a new world. Some of the most successful film franchises in history have come straight from the pages of a book such as the wizardry of Harry Potter. A bookcase is something which is needed in any home, with an unlimited budget I would make sure I got something special like a handmade one. Bookcases can come in a variety of shape and sizes to suit everyone’s own particular tastes; I would go for something which would look modern and have an interesting design feature but there are designs which suit any home and any budget. A bookcase does not necessarily need to be the home for your books either, they can also hold your DVD’s, Blu-Rays or games too so make a great multi-purpose structure for your living room.
The centre of most living rooms is the coffee table, something which can sit in the middle of your seating area and act as something to give focus to a room. The type of coffee table you get will most likely complement the style you have chosen to pursue for your living room. Personally, I would get a glass table, though knowing me I would probably break it within a few weeks of buying it. The coffee table can be the perfect place for you to put those small items, magazines or a place to put cups and plates you are using.
There are so many things you can do with a living room if given an unlimited budget, I am sure we all have different ideas of what we would have in our living room. I only looked at the basic furnishings of the living room but with an unlimited budget you would probably want to redesign the whole room.
