Open Living Room Design: A Distinctive Short Let Apartment Fitout By Inkmen Structures And Spaces

Lagos-based company, Inkmen Structures & Spaces, created an open living room design for a short let apartment in Lagos. The color scheme, a careful selection of teal green, white, black, grey, and brown, reflects a harmonious blend of sophistication and warmth.

The open living room design serves a dual purpose as it elegantly combines an entertainment space with a dining area. The carefully chosen color palette plays a pivotal role in shaping the ambiance of the space. The white, grey and black provide a neutral undertone to help the teal green, blue and brown elements create the intended vibe.

An essential element of this living room is the choice of materials. The space is grounded with wooden flooring, which not only adds a sense of warmth but also offers a connection to the natural environment. The use of a grey-textured wall introduces a layer of visual depth to the room, providing a subtle contrast to the predominantly neutral color scheme.

The entertainment area is defined by the presence of an L-shaped brown sectional sofa that occupies a significant portion of the living space. The minimal round coffee table complements the sectional sofa and serves as a practical centerpiece for the room.

Underneath the entertainment area, a black and white area rug is thoughtfully placed, creating a visual contrast with the wooden flooring.

A careful consideration of the seating arrangement enhances the functionality and comfort of the open living area design. Adjacent to a generously sized window, two conversation seats are thoughtfully positioned. A round side table serves as a convenient surface for placing drinks or personal items.

Opposite the seating area, a symmetrical TV wall, rendered in a blend of brown and white wood, houses a range of storage options. This arrangement combines open and closed storage, catering to the practical needs of a modern living space. The TV wall seamlessly integrates entertainment components while maintaining the room’s aesthetic coherence.

The dining area, an integral part of the living space, features a four-seater rectangular dining table accompanied by four grey chairs. This arrangement caters to the convenience of both intimate gatherings and everyday meals. Nearby, a compact L-shaped open kitchen adds functionality to the living room design.

The open-plan kitchen has cabinetry in shades of black, teal blue, white, and brown. The tall cabinetry unit, finished in rich brown wood, accommodates a microwave and oven, adding a touch of rustic charm to the modern living area. On the other side of the L-shaped kitchen, a well-thought-out arrangement incorporates a cooker with a concealed cooker hood, a sink, and a unique circular storage system dedicated to housing wine bottles.

Lighting plays a vital role in enhancing the atmosphere of the open living room design. Black recessed double-bulb lights are positioned strategically to cast a warm, ambient glow throughout the space. Over the dining table, three elegant glass pendant lights provide focused illumination, creating an intimate dining experience.

At the heart of the living room, a black sputnik chandelier adds an element of drama and sophistication, anchoring the design with an impressive visual statement.

One practical piece of décor in this open living room is the circular mirror behind the seating layout. Positioned strategically, it visually expands the space and enhances light distribution. The circular shape aligns with the room’s design scheme, adding to the overall aesthetic. The short let apartment design can be described as both functional
