This is a brilliant bet if you want to have a warm and comfortable living room. To achieve this, the colonial style has wood as the main protagonist, an element that brings a lot of warmth, accompanied by warm tones and looking for a comfortable and functional space. Read on and we will tell you more about the<strong> colonial style.<\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Colonial style living rooms<\/h2>\n\n<p>The colonial style comes from the <strong>time of colonization<\/strong> in Africa, South America or India. The settlers brought the western styles of the 19th century and, mixed with the materials and traditions of these parts of the world, a style that is very sought after today was born.   <\/p>\n\n<p><br\/>Style, tradition, warmth, elegance&#8230; To transform your living room to one with these characteristics, <strong>colonial style living rooms<\/strong> are the key. It is important to follow the characteristics on which this style is based: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wood<\/strong> is the star material and, therefore, the main element of this style. The tops are: wenge, teak or mahogany. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sober and elegant<\/strong> shapes predominate. The furniture tends to be straight and simple. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colonial pieces, such as figures with more <strong>sinuous<\/strong> lines, are decorative elements (if they are gilded, the better).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Natural light<\/strong> is enhanced, so it is important to have large windows in the living room.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Functionality<\/strong> is very important in the colonial style. It is common to find cabinets and furniture with extra storage. And drawers, lots of drawers. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We could say that it is a style with a lot of <strong>balance<\/strong>: it is the intermediate point between extremes, decoratively speaking.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is common to add a touch of <strong>color and freshness<\/strong> with one or more <strong>plants<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Textile<\/strong> elements are usually in <strong>light<\/strong> tones: white, cream, beige&#8230; and are visually light, with rather plain designs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"ic_cta_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ic_cta_banner\">\n\t\t    <a \n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/20errores-evitar-reforma-vivienda\/\" \n\t\t\t\t\tonclick=\"ic_cta_track_click_4840()\" \n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"ic-cta ic-cta-generic\" \n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"CTA 3 - Consejos y errores comunes\" \n\t\t\t\t\t1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CTA3-Post-ebook-20errores-reforma.png\" alt=\"CTA 3 - Consejos y errores comunes\" title=\"\">\n\t\t    <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<script>\n\t\t\t\t\twindow.onload = function(e) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\tga('send', 'event', {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventCategory: 'CTA 3 - Consejos y errores comunes',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventAction: 'view',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventLabel: 'https:\/\/sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20241',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnonInteraction: true\n\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\tfunction ic_cta_track_click_4840() {\n\t\t\t\t\t\tga('send', 'event', {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventCategory: 'CTA 3 - Consejos y errores comunes',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventAction: 'click',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventLabel: 'https:\/\/sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20241'\n\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n  \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Furniture in colonial style living rooms<\/h2>\n\n<p>For the choice of <strong>colonial style living room<\/strong> furniture, it is important to be based on the idea of <strong>balance <\/strong>that we mentioned before.
