The options are endless when it comes to designing and decorating a living room—which can be either fun or even overwhelming with so many styles available. Don’t worry, if you want to have fun designing your living room, just design a living room that suits your style and the primary purpose of the living room you’re creating. Whether you want a calming and relaxing space to unwind after a long day or something vibrant and bright with ample seating for family gatherings or entertaining guests, try to be yourself and create a living room that makes you feel happy every time you’re home.
Here are 15 dream living room ideas to help you get inspired by the style, furniture & material selection, and arrangement of living room elements that suit your taste.
1. Opt for The Dominant White Color
A pair of dark sculptural wood coffee tables with a textured brown rug and black window frames & black chandelier frames create a sense of balance in this light and airy neutral-toned living room.
2. Make The Maximum Comfort Space
If you have a large living room, you should invest in a large sectional couch. In addition to being comfortable to use for resting and relaxing, this sofa will be able to accommodate many people at once so you don’t have to jostle when family and friends are gathering.
3. Get Rid of The Boring Impression
The use of a black swivel chair in a spacious living room dominated by bright colors, successfully eliminates the boring impression and makes this living room elegant.
4. Make Your Dream Living Room
This will definitely be the dream living room for everyone. The combination of furniture, flooring, and decorative ornaments in this living room creates a harmonious blend and makes this room a favorite room for every family.
5. Create a Lively Space
Try installing a grey-white vintage rug and adding green plants in your living room to create a more lively and fresh space.
6. Add Focal Point Section
The bold brown chair and various vibrant colored flowers in this minimalist vase will certainly be the focal point in this minimalist-designed room.
7. Combine Rustic and Modern Style
You can create the look of a rustic farmhouse by opting for unfinished walls and adding wood beams to your living room ceiling. But if you don’t really like a totally rustic room, you can add a modern sofa with a white slipcover to create an eclectic style.
8. Flooding with Natural Light
Large crittal windows flood the living room with natural light, making the room bright and more energy efficient. The use of neutral colors on the curtains that match the color of the walls and ceiling gives the impression of a light and airy room.
9. Mix Several Different Elements
Add a large mirror to add a touch of luxury and make the room feel more spacious. Try choosing a table made of real wood that still shows its original shape to inject a little tropical atmosphere into the living room.
10. Adorn Walls with Some Wall Art
There is no better way to make your space feel more intimate and personal than by displaying your favorite photos. It could either be photographs you took or an abstract painting that has a special message for you. These photos will be the center of attraction for everyone who comes to your home.
11. Decorate with Large-Scale Artwork
If you like the 2D wall art, but don’t like seeing walls with lots of small art. Try decorating your walls with 2 or 3 large pieces of 2D wall art. The living room will be richer with artwork but still look minimalist and simple.
12. Bring Dark Accents in Your Light Living Room
Choose a dark shade of sofa, pillows, and some wall art to reduce the natural light coming into the living room. This will reduce glare and heat when the sun shines brightly and the light floods the living room.
13. Make a Room That Always Feels Warm
To keep the warmth at night, try investing in boho & scandic rugs, blankets, and wooden coffee tables & chairs to bring a warm atmosphere to the dark night.
14. Incorporate Real Wood Materials
The combination of neutral colors with real wood elements creates a luxurious and stylish room with a tropical touch that makes this room more classy and special.
15. Combine Dark and Light Colors
To get a dramatic impression every time you enter the living room, use dark colors on the walls, ceiling, floor, and some decorative ornaments, then choose furniture (chairs & tables) and rugs that are bright in color. This combination will produce a maximum dramatic atmosphere and the use of some real wood elements will make the room feel more alive.
It may take time and effort to create your dream living room, but once your living room is realized, it will all be worth it.
