Living Room Decor Ideas

Designing a living room is not difficult, but most people focus too much on the big items – the living room triumvirate of the sofa, the coffee table, and room lighting – that a lot of the other “lesser details” become but a passing thought. In truth, these “lesser details” are a tremendously large part of what defines a living space. As the saying goes, the devil is in the details.

Here are a few lesser known living room decor ideas you might need to consider for a stylish and comfortable living space for your home.

1. The Accent Chair – Sofas aren’t the only seating furniture that makes or breaks a living room space. Accent chairs in the form of arm chairs and lounge chairs are important to the overall look of the space.

Make sure it either matches or contrasts the sofa well, along with the other design elements around it. And finally, make sure it is bold enough and stylish enough to qualify as an “accent” piece. Remember, more than just being a place to sit, accent chairs also serve as good enhancers of room aesthetic.

2. Care about the Cushions – Throw pillows are probably further down the list of design elements most people prioritize, but you can’t deny that they add that extra touch of flavor to the couch and ultimately, to the living room.

Find ones that add pops of color to the space and match the style of your chosen couch. The key is finding throw cushions that serve to spice up the vibe of the living room.

3. Yes, There’s the Rug – The key to good music is a subtle and yet powerfully present bass line. And seeing as architecture and interior design are just frozen music, that concept also applies with the subtle yet undeniably influential presence of the area rug.

A good rug is paramount to any good living room design. It adds character, a pop or pattern and color, and some good texture to the look of the space. In many cases, it also serves as the subtle focal point of the space.

4. Hanging Artwork – Naked walls can be a good choice at times, but more often than not, adorning your interior partitions with paintings and art is rarely a bad idea. And at times, bare walls just seem unfinished in some ways.

You’re not limited to just paintings, either. They could be family photos, accent pieces, and sometimes even sculptures. And you don’t have to worry about filling up your wall right away, either. There’s nothing wrong with building up a collection over time – eventually, it’ll serve as a nice personal timeline of the years you’ve spent in the home.

5. Books and Beyond – Books need not be just for reading. Literature such as coffee table books are best displayed on living room furniture such as, well, coffee tables.

Lining up any living room bookcases or shelves with your family collection of books can also really enhance the room itself. Of course, you won’t be expected to fill the entire shelf space of your living room with books.

For the empty spaces, you could opt to also put select mantle pieces and ornamental items. In addition to any hung artwork, these types of subtle decorations add lots of personality to your living room.

The blue tinge of the ocean views in this contemporary living room is matched by the stylish minimalist portraits hung on one wall and the flat screen television hung on the opposite wall.

This luxury living room  with a comfortingly inviting large sectional sofa uses wood floor, wood board ceilings, and exposed beams – all stained with the same rich wood varnish – to make this space warm and welcoming.

The dark wood floors match the feel of the trusses perfectly. The open plan to the kitchen really maximizes the available floor space of the area. Additionally, we also have a comfortable large sectional sofa, and a balcony area from the second floor in this space to really keep this room feel open and airy.

Mediterranean themes, such as the one employed in this living room design example, bring in an unmatched rustic charm and sharp flare to any designed interior space. The concrete fireplace, the wood beam ceiling, and the honed travertine floors do their respective jobs amazingly well. The brick orange upholstery of the living room seating furniture set is also a good complement to the aesthetic of the room.

This luxury yet undeniably rustic example of a beautiful living room uses a unique curved ceiling design and a conic custom copper fireplace to make an inviting area. Curvilinear forms have always been known to be more welcoming and enticing than sharp linear edges. We can see this motif even on the soft edges and forms of the floor terminations and even the upholstered brown leather sectional sofa in the room.

This beautiful living room has a hint of Mediterranean in its design. The high ceiling gives way to a foyer, making the space feel open and bright.

Another example of good Art Deco design, this living room uses color to brighten up the mood. Its pristine white arm chairs, sunflower yellow swivel arm chairs, and the subtle purple tones of the tufted leather seats in the back all blend together with the overall tone of the room. The numerous clerestory windows, glass view doors, and black polished porcelain tile floors are also nice additions to make the space feel even more open.

This living room has a tinge of exotic Asian design styles in its aesthetic. The wood weave flooring employs an intricate diamond pattern that really sets the tone for the room. A beautiful patterned tapestry is displayed on the far end of the wall, next to the custom fireplace also adorned with jade horse sculptures. The furniture choices with the English sofa and camel back couch are subdued but also mysteriously bold in a way. The use of bright reds in the room also helped a lot in establishing its feel.

This layout opens to the kitchen, keeping the space feel open and bright. To make it even brighter, a gratuitous amount of white is painted onto the walls and the box beam coffered ceiling. The upholstered modern sofas are a tinge of black to offset the bright whites in the area.

The cream color sofas, area rug, and small portable home bar are great supplements to the beige walls and coffered and drop ceilings. The french view windows reveal amazing city skyline views that really give the space a contextually urban feel.

Beautiful living rooms that utilize large windows benefit from both natural light and bringing the vistas of the outdoors in. Since this living room has a lot of natural light it can use a generous amount darker colors.

Rich brown wood can be seen on the coffee tables, side tables, and, most prominently, on the exposed beams of the coffered ceiling in the space.

The browns are balanced out by the various light tones of the textured accent wall – which also has a gas fireplace – and the marble floor tiles. The open plan gives the room a chance to showcase its beautiful designer furniture as well.

The geometric shapes, bold simple patterns, and red-blue-yellow color palette takes its inspiration from Mondrian artworks. The minimalist white leather seating furniture as well as the white painted walls and ceiling really help the more outspoken parts of the design to stand out.

This peculiar proportion – narrow walls and high ceiling – is employed to give rooms peculiar charm as well as serving as a passive cooling design mechanism. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows are good for inviting in light and letting users bask in the amazing ocean views, but solar thermal gain might be an issue. The high ceiling serves to alleviate that problem. Aside from that, the clean wood and leather furniture is a clean and quaint design choice for the area.
