Plenty of living room furniture ideas use pieces in multiple ways, like a desk or table as a craft station or homework spot, and a window seat as a go-to reading or nap station. You will no doubt need some seating options incorporated into your living room design, which can range from small accent chairs to a big roomy sectional. Be careful of cramming a too-large sofa into a too-small space — it’s tempting to go big, but sacrificing walking paths or potential storage space is not always worth it. While there are a lot of different options in living room designs, you definitely want to have enough seating for those living in the house, plus an extra seat or two for the occasional guests. A place to put down drinks or snacks, like side tables or a coffee table, is a must.
When it comes to living room design, there are really no hard-and-fast rules. When considering different living room ideas, you’ll want it to be a space that makes your family and guests feel comfortable, but is also functional for day-to-day living. When thinking about living room colors, most people have a tendency to go super neutral or boldly colorful in living rooms, but be careful of going overboard with either. If you go with neutrals for the big items, like sofas, armchairs and ottomans, then go a bit bold with decorative accessories — that way, you can easily swap out the small things when a new color scheme is in order. Likewise, if you want your sofa to be a statement piece then scale back the decor so they don’t fight for attention.
The elegance of your living room depends also on the floors you have installed. The same as walls, floors should remain solid and neutral, allowing other important elements (art, furniture, or decorations) to grab attention first. If you decide to use carpets, make sure they are equally soft and unobtrusive, painted with the same color palette. Modern interior design prefers sharpness. Therefore, edgy rectangles and angular lines, and even impeccable circles are very common. It means that the most important feature is precise definition.
Living rooms were originally intended to act as sophisticated settings for hosting and entertaining, while family rooms were used for more casual, everyday activities, like lounging, playing or watching TV. However, many homes today will only have one larger room that acts as both an entertainment and primary living space. If yours is the former, you’ll likely be utilizing it as a sitting room to have drinks and good conversation with guests, without distractions like television. As often shown in living room photos, a bar cart, formal furniture and an eye-catching focal point, such as a sophisticated fireplace and mantel, will help achieve this look and feel. On the other hand, if its your primary living space it should see more daily use, often functioning as a TV room, complete with sofa sectional, media console and gaming spot (that cleans up nicely for guests, of course!). In the end, think about your needs when considering different living room ideas; after all, a family with small children will likely need a playroom more than a formal sitting room.
Elegance is born with simplicity. Still, simplicity doesn’t mean a single chair or table per room; but a well-analyzed design strategy; and minimal clutter. Keeping things simple is not only good for your space-it is also good for your mood; and for reducing stress as much as possible. While we’re still discussing simplicity, we should not undermine the importance of your color schemes. The main rule is to use a neutral palette based on white, black, and eventually beige. The rule applies both for walls and furnishing, and it is the most powerful guideline in order to attract attention.
