A space for hosting friends, relaxing with family and binge-watching TV, the living room is arguably one of the most important rooms in a home. While finding a comfortable sofa is essential to decorating a living room, that's only the beginning. There are a lot of elements to consider: paint colors, wall decorations, curtain styles, storage solutions or finding the perfect size rug. To inspire your next home project, we've rounded up beautiful — yet attainable — living room ideas that you'll be thrilled to recreate.
From rustic and farmhouse-inspired spaces to mid-century and modern living rooms, we have you covered with inspiration for every design style. You might want to experiment with a trendy paint color or vibrant wallpaper (we're loving green living rooms) or stick with a timeless white living room. Maybe, you'll choose to mix neutral walls with colorful furniture (one idea even has a hot pink sofa).
For apartment-friendly ideas, we suggest hanging striking wall art, merging two design styles and investing in comfortable seating. You can also revamp the area with architectural features like exposed wood beams, custom shelves to display books or an upgraded fireplace mantel. Whether you start with small upgrades or go for a full renovation, this roundup of chic ideas will help you craft the living room your family deserves.
