Lincoln Barbour

Whether you barely have room for a loveseat or regularly host dozens for movie night, the living room is one of the hardest-working spaces in your home. It's where you sit down with family, host guests, read a book and more, so it's only natural that you'd want it to be as comfortable and inviting as possible. That's why this collection of fresh living room ideas will come in handy as you decorate.

No matter your decorating style — from midcentury to farmhouse, modern to minimal — we have you covered. After choosing the best paint colors for the space (it's okay to pick a trendy paint hue too!), you can revamp the area with a wide range of architectural features and smart decorating choices. Add exposed wood beams to high ceilings, build custom shelves for color-coded books, or make the fireplace your focal point with brick or stone. You'll also find inspiration for decorating with statement rugs, which can define areas within a room and add a pop of color to an overly neutral layout.

Overall, these living room ideas are budget-friendly and easy to recreate on your own. And since decorating is all about having fun, we've peppered in some of the top interior design trends of the year that can do wonders for a living room.

Anyone can make a sleek living room appear warm and welcoming—all it takes are some thoughtful accessories. In this Brooklyn townhouse, Ishka Designs packed on the charm with intriguing ceramics and eye-catching artwork. The result? A living room that hits that sweet spot between luxe and lived-in.

2

Shape-Shifting Living Room

Stephen Kent Johnson

Move over, boxy armchairs and rectangular sofas: Furniture with an atypical silhouette is a surefire way to give those living room essentials some visual intrigue. The design duo at Ashe Leandro spruced up a Park Avenue pad with a curvy lounge chair from Move Mountains as well as a bulbous custom sofa that’s upholstered in Rose Uniacke wool.

3

Height-Defiant Living Room

Yoshihiro Makino

If James Williams and Jonno Burden’s living room is any indication, the only way to go really is up. The duo accented their 30-foot-tall ceiling with two clusters of custom light pendants, drawing the eye upward and creating a light, airy space in the process.

4

Mirror Marvel Living Room

Stephan Julliard

Want to dress up bare walls but traditional artwork feels overplayed? Consider dousing your space in decorative mirrors—just as Jacques Grange did in this Portuguese pad. Not only does this woven arrangement add some character to this spacious room, but the number of reflective spaces also helps bounce the light around just right.

5

Textural Living Room

Joshua McHugh

Repeat after us: A neutral-tinged living room can be anything but boring. If you need any convincing, have a look at this relaxed space by Cochineal Design. Here, a rich array of light wood, cream bouclé upholstery, and high-contrast art offers a more nuanced take on the pared-back palette.

6

Plaid-Peppered Living Room

Stephen Kent Johnson

Another way to hit the refresh button on a neutral palette? Add a few patterns into the mix. In this downtown New York City home, a sea of browns, creams, and black is energized with a set of vintage chairs in a Sandra Jordan alpaca plaid.

7

Hip and Hanging Living Room

Read Mckendree, from Workshop/APD Homes: Architecture, Interiors, and the Spaces Between, Rizzoli New York, 2022.

Take the phrase “sitting pretty” to a whole new level—literally—by incorporating a swinging seat. Design firm Workshop/APD made the most of this family residence by juxtaposing a hanging chair from Juniper Home and a low-slung, double-sided sofa. This power playing makes the living room appear even brighter and airier than it already is.

8

Repetitive Living Room

Chris Mottalini

Why settle for one cocktail table and one couch when you can enjoy a few? The multiple furniture pieces in this Manhattan apartment give the living room an upscale, gallerylike atmosphere, while keeping it conducive to your and your guests’ needs.

9

A Ray of Sunshine Living Room

Genevieve Garruppo

Die-hard maximalists will find the perfect compromise in this smile-inducing Hamptons home, which offsets a neutral palette with pops of yellow and a rainbow-hued painting by Kenneth Noland. “I wanted the room to feel as though you could sit in it on your own and read the newspaper or have a family game night—or host a killer cocktail party,” designer Alec Holland explains.

10

Monochromatic Living Room

Want a punchy-yet-pared-back palette and neutrals just aren’t doing it? Reimagine your living room with a bolder hue as seen in director Mara Brock Akil’s Los Angeles home.

Party-Ready Living Room

Be the host with the most by adding a wet bar to your living room—and making it a sight for sore eyes too. In this 1957 Pacific Palisades abode, which was restored by Studio Shamshiri, the lineup of libations is dressed up in technicolor tiles from Emmanuel Boos.

12

Hard-Meets-Soft Living Room

Stephan Julliard

What’s a person to do if their already-modern living room feels a smidge stony? Soften things up with a plush area rug. A wool and silk layer by Jan Kath lends a homey feel to the industrial-leaning living room from Raëd Abillama.

13

Haute Hearth Living Room

Read McKendree

Oftentimes, the most practical elements of a living room can become the most visually intriguing. In this Woodstock home, design firm White Webb transformed the fireplace into a mega-moment by covering the hearth and surrounding ceiling in shou sugi ban cypress. An assortment of angular furniture—layered in tactile textiles—gives the rustic fireplace a more contemporary edge.

14

Community-Centric Living Room

Matthieu Salvaing

Whether you have a chill night in with your family or invite your inner circle to your personal quarters, congregation is at the heart of every living room. That’s exactly why it’s so fitting that architect Christina Seilern peppered this Greek living room with a built-in bench, complete with upholstery and pillows by Kalyvianakis Dimitrios. And, thanks to the indoor-outdoor quality, this living room makes it possible to kick back, relax, and watch the gorgeous landscape.

15

Oversize-Art Living Room

Richard Powers

Since bare white walls can veer toward “sterile” territory, liven up your room’s perimeter with some oversize art, as Ike Kligerman Barkley did in a Bridgehampton, New York, residence. The large piece over the low-slung sectional brings a lived-in, layered effect to the living room; however, the abstract shapes featured offer a hint of modernity.

16

Laid-Back Living Rooms

Tim Lenz

One of the best things about today’s living rooms is they don’t have to be too stuffy or precious. In fact, Augusta Hoffman specifically enlisted a pair of Blasco Clichy swivel chairs to up this Upper East Side apartment’s chill factor. “I love the chairs because they bring in an element of casualness that my client was looking for as a younger person who enjoys having people over to watch movies and hang out,” Hoffman says. “It doesn’t have to feel so sophisticated all the time.”

17

Depth-Defying Milan Living Room

Helenio Barbetta/Living Inside

Milanese architect and designer Hannes Peer took this Italian living area to new heights—literally—by drawing inspiration from the Alps. The low-slung furniture—which includes a brown leather couch from B&B Italia and a vintage daybed—deftly balances out the high, slatted wood accents.

As this Hollywood Hills living room—which was designed by firm Nickey Kehoe for Suzanne Goin—proves, you can never have too many seats. This Spanish-style space pairs the original Douglas fir-beamed ceiling with a cornucopia of sofas and armchairs, all of which are from the designers.

22

Pattern-Packed Palm Beach Living Room

25

Tropical Living Room

Kris Tamburello

Make your living room feel like an otherworldly oasis, just as Fawn Galli did in this Boca Raton retreat. From a rattan cocktail table by India Mahdavi to a half-moon shape Lejeune sofa—which is swathed in Dedar velvet and Scalamandre’s Maquis Tapestry Agave repeat—this space offers vacation vibes around the clock.

26

Shape-Shifting Living Room

Ema Peter

For a pared-back way to make your living room pop, play with different shapes. When decorating this Vancouver pad for a mother-daughter duo, PlaidFox’s Ben Leavitt featured an angular, 1970s-inspired chimney breast in red- and pink-toned Mutina tiles. Rounding out the room is a custom curvaceous couch and leather ottoman from Moroso.

Why settle for one design style when you can enjoy a few?

Interior details

January 16, 2023

Interior decor is the finishing touches that give the interior completeness and a special charm.

The selection of decor is carried out by a specially trained person - a decorator, this is a specialist in artistic design and interior decoration. Not only how beautiful it will be in the room depends on its work, but also how comfortable and functional the interior will be.

Based on the layout and aesthetics of the space, the decorator selects accessories and places them in the places where they will be. nine0003

There are no trifles in the decoration technique, since each pillow, tablecloth and figurine should look harmoniously in the interior and be combined with each other.

The purpose of decor is to create a unique artistic image of the room.

Why decor is so important and can you do without it

The decor is important for the design of the space and the subsequent perception of the room by the customer. The decor allows you to add / dim the lighting of the room, highlight certain colors, place accents. Another advantage of competent decor is the ability to change the nature of the design of the situation, and at the same time you do not need to take any drastic measures. nine0003

While designers are completely focused on creating the ordered interior, decorators, relying on the opinion of the customer and the designer, offer the most successful spatial and compositional solutions. Decoration involves a competent placement of accents and important details that reflect the individuality of the architecture of the room and its owners.

Depending on what tasks the customer sets, the decor can be the leading one in the design of the room or play a secondary role. The leading role implies the presence of certain architectural compositions, decorative elements that imply a certain aesthetic load. Most often - this is the highlight, which plays a key role. nine0003

The decisive factor in the perception of the interior can be a mirrored wall panel or several details that combine the design idea into a single whole composition. When the decor is given a secondary role, designers initially create such spatial solutions where the decorative elements are given a minimum of space. In the future, it will be difficult to change such an interior depending on the mood, without affecting its main construct.

It is necessary to think over the decor even at the stage of creating an interior project, since the choice of one or another solution affects the architecture and design of the future image of the room. Decor items that are most often used in decoration include items whose purchase is not due to only one functionality. These are beautiful textiles, carpets, vases, baskets, sculptures, various design compositions made of wood, metal, dry flowers, etc. nine0003

When there are no decorative elements in the interior, the room looks empty. For this reason, it is extremely important to match each of the elements in color, size, texture in order to create a single picture of an ideal perception.

The completeness of the interior lies in the details, strokes, because every little thing has its purpose and meaning.

Interior decorating principles

Interior decor is responsible for a single idea of ​​interior design. nine0003

The main principles of decoration:

Comfortable and practical interior. Even the most delightful design compositions will eventually become annoying when, for example, they need to be constantly bypassed, this causes inconvenience to the owners of the premises. Therefore, first of all - practicality, taking into account the wishes of the customer. It is necessary to understand how many people will be in a particular room, what functions are assigned to a particular room, etc. It often happens that the owners decorate some rooms for the needs of guests, this should also be taken into account in the decor. nine0003

Unity of design and idea. It is necessary to adhere to a single style of the whole house, the storyline. Finishing materials, wallpaper, furniture and textiles - everything should be combined with each other, complementing each other. It is important that the idea of ​​​​the architectural design of the room and its decor be unobtrusive and appeal to all the inhabitants of the house.

Bright personality. To achieve a spectacular perception of the common space and each room separately, you must use original accessories, stylishly designed decorative pillows, textured textiles, photographs on the walls. When creating a decor, not only the wishes of the owners are taken into account, but also their style and lifestyle, thinking, habits. A detailed study of the preferences of the owners of the premises will help create the right atmosphere. nine0003

Knowing of limits. A lot of unique, beautiful and exclusive items, all together, do not make a good impression. It is necessary to adhere to a certain moderation and tact in the decor in order to achieve the desired effect. You should not confuse the hall of the house with an art gallery or put the porcelain in the house on display. Such excesses are unacceptable, it is better to change decor items, alternating them so that the interior of the room is not overloaded with unnecessary shapes and details.

Creative approach, unified style, practicality and a sense of proportion allow you to create harmonious compositions and combinations for every room in the house.

Basic rules for interior decoration

Decorating is an interesting and very exciting process, but in order to channel your imagination and creativity in the right direction, you need to follow some basic rules. nine0003

For decoration are used:

  • art objects;

  • color;

  • invoices;

  • ornaments;

  • vases;

  • paintings.

  • nine0033

    It would seem that it is difficult to arrange correctly the art objects that the owners of the premises liked. But, this is not as easy to do as it seems at first glance, since all accessories, vases and paintings should look harmoniously together, and without interrupting each other, be a single whole. We will tell you how to achieve your goal.

    1. The right combination of decor items. nine0003

    All, without exception, objects and elements of interior decor should be combined with each other. This must be remembered when choosing vases, decorative pillows, textiles. To maintain a unified style, consider the characteristics of certain objects in the setting, combinations of color, shape and texture. For example, use fabrics that are similar in color but have a different texture for curtains, tablecloths, and pillows. It is not necessary to strictly match the color scheme, it is enough if the shades are similar. nine0003

    2. Use no more than 2-3 colors

    When decorating open shelves and racks, limit yourself to a few colors. No more than 3 colors or their shades are enough to design architectural compositions in the same style. In addition to this rule, we recommend that the tone of the composition is combined with the color of the decoration of the room and its style.

    When choosing the color of the shelf, opt for classic black or white. These neutral tones can be used in any composition, which is very convenient for decorating rooms in all styles, from classic to high-tech. nine0003

    3. Variety of textures

    When creating decor for monochrome or achromatic interiors, do not forget about the variety of textures. Without the use of textures, monochrome interiors will look dull. The rule of three components is used here, that is, you can combine three different textures, it can be glossy, matte and voluminous surfaces.

    4. Ornaments

    Ornaments are always in trend, but they also need to be used wisely. Remember, if the interior contains several variants of the ornament at once, their number should be odd. nine0003

    An even number of ornaments will later be difficult to combine into a single image, due to the special perception of the overall picture. Ornaments in the same room should be of different sizes. It is more correct when large ornaments occupy a larger area than small ones, but this condition is optional, it all depends on the aesthetics of the room and its purpose.

    5. Vases

    When arranging vases, it is necessary to decide for what purposes this decor item will be used. A vase can support the style of the interior, create a mood, help to correctly place color accents. A wide variety of vases to choose from, allows you to use vases for different purposes. It remains to choose several options using the rule: one form - different colors, one tone - different forms. nine0003

    6. Painting

    Of course, the easiest way is to choose paintings in the same style as the interior of the room, but it is also possible to act according to the principles of contrast. Paintings by modern masters look great in a classic interior, and old paintings fit into an ultra-modern loft without any problems. It is important to pay attention to color, shades, design, so that the picture does not contradict the theme of the room, but emphasizes a certain status, aesthetics of the room. nine0003 Painting W654 90x120 Painting ART W644 100x100 Painting W656 90x120

    • Painting W654 90x120
    • Painting ART W644 100x100
    • Painting W656 90x120

    By changing the decor, you can quickly and easily change the mood of the interior. A change of decor contributes to the craving for new experiments, which in decor is always welcome.

    Competent decor allows you to perceive the surroundings without tension.

    Living room decoration

    Decorating the living room is a responsible task, since this is the main room in a residential building, and everything here must be impeccable. To decorate the living room in terms of comfort, functionality and good taste, consider the whole style of the house.

    Classic style. The decor of the room in this style should not "cheapen" the situation. Carpets, tapestries, paintings, portraits in a massive frame, mirrors are used to decorate the living room.

    Eclecticism. The style is popular because it can be used in small spaces. The living room needs to add presentability, but at the same time preserve all its little things. An eclectic space can easily combine many details taken from different styles. Depending on the chosen decor, the living room can become a place to relax, turn into a flower oasis, etc. This style suggests the presence of decorative elements in the room that are made by one's own hands, these inconspicuous and simple details help to make the atmosphere of the living room cozy and truly homely. nine0003

    Country and Provence. These are the so-called "rustic" styles, and based on their name, it is necessary to select the design for the living room. A lot of small elements will look appropriate here. A variety of textures and colors are welcome. Use painted wall plates of different sizes, ceramic vases with flowers, coarse textile tablecloths, etc. to decorate the living room. It is in the style of Provence and country that it is not forbidden to put on public display various trinkets that are donated by children, cute photos with animals. Use these ample opportunities to decorate and create an attractive, family-friendly living room interior. nine0003

    Retro. In this case, you will not have to spend a lot of money on decorating the room. Things left over from parents are perfect. You can use a variety of items and decor elements from old houses: pillows, furniture, posters, all this will perfectly fit into the retro living room interior.

    Designer Tips

    • Do not rush to purchase items for decor until the color of the walls and ceiling is determined. First you need to complete the repair work, put all the furniture in its place. The decor only completes the overall picture of the room, helping some details to organically fit into the interior. nine0003

    • It also happens that the living room may not have enough space for decorative details.

    • Extra decor overloads the room, and if the room is small, decorative elements should also be functional.

    The living room is a room where homeowners can show their lifestyle to guests. DIY decor is quite appropriate here.

    Decorating the kitchen and decorating the dining room. Table setting

    It's no secret that an elegant and tastefully laid table can increase your appetite, and a beautiful breakfast can give you a boost of energy for the whole day. In addition, if you add just a few bright details to the design of the kitchen - a standard dinner can easily turn into a solemn one.

    In fact, creating a festive mood using candles, napkins, vases and beautiful cutlery is not difficult. nine0003

    Candles. By decorating the table with candles, you can turn any dinner or lunch into a real family celebration. Place tall candles in a candelabra in the center of the table; if the table is large, complete the composition with a few more randomly placed candles. To create a romantic atmosphere, tablet candles, for example, laid out in the shape of hearts, are suitable. nine0003

    Flowers. Decorate the kitchen space at any time of the year using fresh and dry flowers, flower arrangements. It is not necessary to purchase designer bouquets, branches of garden trees, bushes, decorated with beads or ribbons are also suitable. Sprigs of plants are also used to decorate cutlery.
