Lounge room furniture should be arranged around an item such as a coffee table in a 1930s-inspired room, an expert has suggested.
Homeowners who want to emulate the style of 1930s Hollywood should arrange their lounge room furniture so as to encourage conversation.
This is the advice of Helen Green, author of the interior design blog on terrysfabrics.co.uk, who said the interiors of many homes in the Hollywood Regency era were arranged elegantly using furniture inspired by oriental and art deco styles.
Those who want to bring this theme into their modern-day home should arrange their lounge room furniture around a focal piece such as a cocktail table, Ms Green advised, adding it is important to avoid the temptation of positioning furniture with the television in mind.
And when searching for accessories for lounge room furniture, homeowners can consider patterns like bamboo or flower prints for use on cushions, but should ensure they are used sparingly.
"Too much pattern is not good for this look so a couple of accessories or jazzing up your favourite chair would be perfectly adequate," she remarked.
The interior design expert recently promoted the use of solid wood furniture when redesigning a home, noting it gives a natural and homely look.
