I personally like Victorian design on my living room. Very intricate details on wood and ivory, handcrafted lamps, hand sewn fabrics and very elaborate carpet design. My dilemma is that when you have these in your living room, it feels as if you are somewhat sacrificing the welcoming feeling in your home. Imagine yourself entering such room. There is this feeling the need to be extra careful on your every movement. The worry of breaking one of those really beautiful vases, or spilling wine on the carpet. You cannot ignore the possibilities of ruining such a well put together living room. You might even consider on just talking in the kitchen instead. You get the beauty you wanted but you can’t really use it.
I want my living room to be a place where I can have guests feel welcome and “at home”. A living room where my family can sit down, play board games, and bond. When I think about it, it seems that these two things are hard to have in the same living room. I know many who have the same sentiments as I have. Specially if you have kids running around your home all the time.
