Because this space is usually at the core of a welcoming and comfortable home, the living room decor has to be just right. This is where family members spend time together, where friends gather to chat and play board games, where one can relax and watch a movie. Not everyone has the same ideas when it comes to what function this space should fulfill and not all living rooms are the same. In fact, each one is different in its own way, featuring elements which make it special and unique.

Finding a suitable design strategy for a living room takes time. Let’s say you want your small living room to appear larger and more spacious. There are plenty of possibilities you could adopt. Using large mirrors is one of them.

Another strategy is to emphasize the height of the room. Having a living room with a double height ceiling is definitely an advantage in this case. You can further highlight that by displaying long curtains and a low hanging chandelier or pendant lamp. Arent & Pike had the right idea when designing this space.

The size and shape of the windows also counts. A living room with long windows that go almost from floor to ceiling will definitely look bright and open. To emphasize that, hang long curtains flush with the ceiling. Interior designer Marianne Tiegen took maximum advantage of the windows in this case.

In the case of a large living room, on the other hand, things are different. Everything is on a different scale here. A large sofa or sectional can be comfortably placed at the center of the room, being complemented by additional accent chairs or even by a separate lounge space with its own distinct character.

Stripes are often used to emphasize a room’s shape or to make a space appear larger or more spacious. One of the strategies is to use a striped area rug in a narrow living room in order to take advantage of its shape and layout instead of trying to conceal these elements, perceiving them as disadvantages. The team at Disc Interiors offers a great example here.

It’s common for living rooms to include staircases leading to a loft space of a different level. When the living room is large and spacious, integrating a sculptural staircase in its design is not a problem. However, when the space is small, other strategies must be found. Interior designer Lorenzo Castillo chose a compact spiral staircase for this project, a wise and practical idea.

Another beautiful strategy is to take advantage of the home’s original architecture and design. When decorating a living room, for example, one can choose to explore the ceiling beams if there are any or to highlight an arched door or window, just like Wendy Haworth did when designing this elegant living room infused with mid-century style.

Mixing and matching styles is also important when coming up with an original design approach for a living room. A modern space can feature vintage influences. Similarly, a living room can also be defined by industrial elements spread throughout its surface.

Each living room has its own layout and the interior design has to be adapted to it. In most cases the coffee table sits at the center of the room. Sometimes the living room offers the perfect opportunity for creating a cozy reading corner. A comfortable armchair and a floor lamp can totally transform an empty corner. TomMarkHenry suggests that with this charming design.

It’s amazing how much an area can impact a living room. The space often feels empty without one. Of course, the type of rug, its color, print and the material from which its made also matter. Check out beautifully the one chosen here by Sisalla Interior Design bring cohesion to the room.

There are many ways in which to add color and texture to a living room. One option is to pick a simple sofa and to decorative with various accent pillows. Another strategy is to opt for a patterned rug which incorporates various eye-catching colors in its design. Either way, the rest of the décor should remain simple, just like in the case of this eclectic room designed by Tatiana Nicol.

Nature-inspired interior designs are always inspiring and interesting. Finding inspiration in nature may seem like a simple task but things are more complicated than they seem. One can choose to include a variety of plants in the living room in order to get that look. This strategy was partially used here by Florence Lopez.

If you want to keep a living room airy and bright, one of the strategies you can use includes simplistic furniture such as open shelves. You can mix these with a framed mirror to add depth to the décor. The color palette should stay neutral and focused on light tones. Martha Mulholland offers an inspiring example here.

A double height living room offers numerous design possibilities. Studio Mellone chose in this case to give the space a large bookcase covering one of the walls. A mobile ladder offers access to the upper shelves. The fact that the room also has an entire wall of windows definitely adds to its charm and drama.

Small living room furniture is best kept simple. Michael Dawkins introduces here a white-based design. This opens up the room. The white sofa, armchairs, coffee table, area rug and curtains are complemented by touches of stained wood and the occasion blue and green in the form of wall décor or natural plants.

In order for a living room to look sophisticated, dramatic and luxurious, certain elements have to be included in its design. Rob Mills shows how a chromatic palette dominated by dark blue can have the desired effect. An ornate chandelier and a few touches of gold here and there complete the look.

The idea of placing two identical sofas in the living room is definitely intriguing. This strategies involves a décor centered on social gatherings and interaction. Instead of the usual sectional facing a TV, the two sofas can face each other and can frame a fireplace. The design created by Courtney Bishop also adds symmetry to the mix.

A living room can be sumptuous in more than one way. The colors chosen for its interior design play an important role. Shades like dark blue, purple or burgundy can have the desired effect. Texture is also important. Velvety fabrics can instantly impact the décor. The right accent details and the lighting also matter.

Kara Mann made sure that this living room is both casual and elegant. This is space where one can feel comfortable, being surrounded by light colors, comfortable furniture and a traditional fireplace. The design also integrates elements such as two flexible and sleek floor lamps and a combination of side tables which give the space a subtle vintage-industrial charm.

Different colors have different impacts and effects on a décor and, when combined with the right forms, textures and designs, they can each impress. Light blue is known to create a soothing and relaxed atmosphere. SJB used it as one of several accent colors which are brought together in the form of an abstract painting.

A casual living room is often defined by the presence of lightweight furniture, simple and bright colors and the use of simple patterns and forms. The lack of big and robust pieces of furniture allow the décor to look fresh and airy while everything else makes the room look particularly comfortable.

The ceiling is often overlooked. We focus so much on the furniture and the wall décor that we forget about this large surface which can easily become a focal point for the living room. There are numerous ways in which to make the most of a ceiling either by using sculptural molding, bold colors, wallpaper or by playing with contrasts.

Certain combinations of colors and materials are known to send a particular message. For example, black mixed with gold is elegant and royal. So consider giving your living room black walls and decorating them with gold-framed artwork.

This living room designed by Meyer Davis has natural light coming in from all sides. Being exposed to the outdoors like this allows the space to share a strong connection with its surroundings and to always feel welcoming. The fact that an imposing fireplace serves as a focal point also has a similar impact on the atmosphere inside.

Bringing natural elements into a living room is a strategy which can be applied to all styles. Hess Hown chose here to use potted plants are decorations meant to give the room a fresh feel and to also add some color to its décor. The white palette would be monotonous without a few contrasting details.

The birds suspended from the ceiling are definitely the most eye-catching design feature in the case of the living room designed by P&T Interiors. As you can see, this is also a nature-inspired décor but the focus in this case is not on greenery. However, the full height windows take care of that part as well.

Black and white is a popular and timeless color combination, often used in living rooms. You can’t really go wrong with this combo regardless of the style chosen for the interior design. A similar result can be achieved with combination of light and dark colors.

Beige is a beautiful and elegant color which looks particularly chic here when combined with a bunch of wood accents and especially given the green wall visible through the glass doors. This whole space feels very cozy and comfortable despite its simplicity.

Amber Road also achieved a beautiful balance when designing this eclectic living room. The palette of green and wood mixed with a red-based traditional area rug puts together two contrasting styles. The décor is both modern and traditional, old and new working together to achieve harmony.

Variations of the black and white combination can be created using various pastel shades. A beautiful example is the space designed by Shapiro Joyal Studio The faint pink nuances used here contrast with the black elements. Mixed with the natural wood details, they create a feminine and stylish décor.

The black and white combo can be used in a variety of ways. Stripes are one option. They are used here by Suzy Hoodless in the form of a minimalist area rug which also introduces small colorful accents. The rug complements a décor based on neutrals and pastels.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves add a unique touch to living rooms. They can be introduced in modern interiors without disrupting the balance, especially if you want to give the room a charming, bohemian feel. By mixing diverse materials, finishes, textures and patterns you can emphasize the desired characteristics and make other seem less striking.

Deborah French Designs introduces here an eclectic living room design which incorporates multiple influences. The windows and doors are reminiscent of Japanese shoji screens while the coffee table adds a rustic touch to a décor focused on mid century and vintage details.

Wallpapered walls are a suitable design strategy whenever desiring to add a touch of color or pattern to a room. It’s usually used on a single accent wall but there are also cases when it can take over the décor. The pattern featured on the walls can also be integrated in other elements, such as the sofa upholstery.

On the other hand, when the goal is a serene and simplistic décor, it’s good to eliminate any unnecessary details and to emphasize the basics. Kathleen Clements managed to do that here by placing a light gray sofa opposite to the fireplace and defining the seating area with a striped area rug.

Exposed brick or stone walls are known for their ability to make living room look exquisite. Designer Karen Akers chose to paint the fireplace wall white which concealed its natural color but exposed its textured and imperfect structure.

A well-lit living room always stands out. This includes both the natural and artificial light sources and the space designed by THID has them both well in check. The room opens onto a wooden deck while also featuring large windows and glass doors that link it to the outdoors.

Not all living rooms include a TV. In fact, a lot of them don’t. By eliminating the TV, you open the door to multiple new layouts and design possibilities. Stephane Chamard proposes an interior design focused on comfort, decorated with a sofa, accent chairs and open bookshelves.

A glass coffee table has the potential of making the room look less cluttered. In addition, if the table has a glass top this allows its base to stand out and to feature sculptural and eye-catching designs. As you can see, the coffee table takes center stage in this case, everything else being organized around it.

To induce a feeling of comfort and coziness, Pearson Design Group used here a thick faux fur rug complemented by matching chair covers. To avoid making the décor feel heavy and overwhelming, a set of lightweight pendant lamps were added.

Striking contrasts and visually powerful design elements are sometimes put together and the result is a space which could look similar to the living room designed by Jean-Francois Jaussaud. As you can see, the walls are deliberately left unfinished, with portions of exposed stone becoming visible. These elements contrasts with the modern furniture and accessories.

A very different approach was used by Hillary Robertson when designing this small but very chic and pleasant-looking living room. The use of soft color tones, detailed and sculptural lines and simple, natural materials offer the room a feminine touch.

The gallery wall put together by Bricks Studio is eye-catching but not in a very striking or opulent way. The framed artwork displayed here doesn’t introduce strong and new colors but rather has the role of establishing a homey ambiance, considering the glass wall which exposes the room to the adjacent space.

You can use multiple strategies to make a living room feel welcoming and comfortable. For example, combine a textured rug with a wood coffee table, a fabric sofa or sectional with lots of cozy pillows and a few personal decorations framed on the wall behind it.

There are two types of people: those that prefer a fabric sofa in their living room and those that enjoy more a leather sofa or couch. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. Leather furniture tends to look more elegant, sober and imposing whereas fabric upholstery makes it look more casual.

Instead of a sofa, Felix Forest shows us here a casual and minimalist daybed, ideal for relaxing while reading a book under the warm light of the corner floor lamp and while enjoying the warmth of the fireplace. The framed mirror placed on the mantel is a chic touch.

A live edge coffee table can be an interesting element which you can use in combination with wood and rattan seating, driftwood artwork frames and an animal skin rug.

Animal skin rugs are more versatile than you might think. They can look very chic in rustic, traditional, modern or eclectic spaces. One with a zebra print such as the one used here by Virginia MacDonald can be the missing accessory in your living room.

The little details impact a room in a great way. Simply choosing the right main colors, materials and finishes for a living room is not enough to actually make it feel right. It’s important to pay attention to the little things like the small table you keep in the corner by the sofa, the small pillows you sometimes throw on the sofa or the artwork you display on the wall.

If there’s a large and bulky sofa or a big sectional in the living room, covering a considerable amount of floor space, it would be advisable to keep the rest of the furniture as simple as possible.

When working with black and white, a third color is often needed. It can be a bold and striking shade such as red, orange or green but it can also be the natural and diverse multitude of natural wood tones.

Brown is a color that mixes well with other shades such as green, turquoise or orange. However, when combining it with neutral tones such as gray or black, it can become monotonous. Interior designer Andrew Howard avoided that by blending several different textures and materials.

The same thing can be said about gray which is not a particularly interesting or eye-catching color. However, it can be the perfect choice for a living room infused with vintage, rustic and industrial elements. Designer Mark Lewis offers us a glimpse at the design possibilities in such a case.

The accent color you choose for a living room can be highlighted in more than one way. Displaying big blocks of colors in the form of abstract artwork or furniture is one option. A different strategy is to use that color is small amount and to evenly distribute it throughout the space. Check out how Turned Pocock acted in this case.

A living room with bay windows is a treasure from the start. Tamara Eaton had to design such a space and the strategy chosen was to have the sofa placed in front of the windows for a nice view rather than positioning it in front of the fireplace.

When the walls of a living room are as striking and busy as in this case, everything else seems pale by comparison. As a result, a lilac-colored sofa or a green area rug don’t seem as eye-catching as they would in a different environment dominated by neutral tones and simplicity.

On the other hand, anything can stand out when you’re working with a white room. A brown leather sofa is not exactly what you’d call eye-catching and yet it stands out here by contrast. Similarly, the accent armchair is a welcomed element in the décor.

When there are several different focal points in a room, it each has to bring new to the décor in order to stand out. The New Design Group highlighted here the exposed brick fireplace wall, the ochre-colored armchair and the neon pink coffee table giving each the opportunity to stand out.

In a lot of cases, however, a single accent color is enough. Katie Martinez chose for this modern living room a sinuous sofa featuring a beautiful shade of turquoise. This is only colorful element in the room, everything else being beige and neutral.

A living room can also look beautiful without needing any brightly-colored elements. Carla Lane shows that with a design that looks very inviting, comfortable and user-friendly, where a sofa and a daybed frame a rectangular area rug and a centered coffee table, with a fireplace as a backdrop.

Geometry adds interesting to a lot of things, including interior design. It’s enough to play with a few simple shapes to reveal the concept’s beauty.

Although the small living room designed by Chelsea Hing has black walls, this doesn’t make it feel dark and gloomy. It fact, it allows it to look crisp, chic and modern. The white open shelves and the matching window shutters create an interesting contrast while the blue sofa brings everything together.

Both the rug and the green accent chair have something nature-inspired and the floor lamp’s colorful shades add interest to that portion of the room, complementing the simple coffee table and cabinet.

When the living area is directly connected to the entryway, there has to be a smooth transition between these spaces.

That can be done with the help of certain materials and colors such as wood and warm, earthy tones.

The living room of a beach house or holiday home should be bright, airy and relaxed. Light colors, simple and chic accessories and quirky patterns are often a part of such a décor. As far as furniture goes, the use of large and bulky pieces is not something to take into consideration. A much better alternative is a series of small, lightweight elements.

When the color combination is simple and limited to only two or three shades, one can play with patterns. A black and white living room can be defined by a combination of geometric patterns such as stripes, chevrons and other combinations.

A wall which incorporates multiple windows doesn’t offer much room for furniture or so you might think. Ensemble Architecture shows how faulty that idea can be by introducing a system of bookshelves designed to frame the windows and to fit into the small spaces between and above them.

A good way to save space in a small living room is with multifunctional furniture. Atticus & Milo chose for this space a coffee table with built-in storage, able to function and a small bookcase. In addition to that, more bookshelves were built on the upper portion of the wall.
