The living room is somewhat of a modern institution. Older estates might have had sitting rooms, drawing rooms, or studies. But the multipurpose living room – a gather spot for families, a cozy area for entertaining, or even just a place to put your feet up – is kind of a new concept. It’s not necessarily fussy or fancy, but with the right design it can truly become the heart of a home.
Represented here are 26 beautiful living rooms that take this modern space and make it not just welcoming, but beautiful. Have a look.
Warm colors are just one way to bring that cozy feeling into a living room. Here, it’s pops of a shocking red that contrast the cement bricks and other neutral furnishings for a vibrant, exciting space.
Of course, bright colors are not everything. This grey and black design is sleek and sophisticated – it wouldn’t be out of place in a decadent 1980’s movie.
The plush seating in this living room makes you want to sink right in for an evening of casual, bright conversation.
Adding personal effects like books and artwork give this smaller living room a unique and homey feel.
Grey and turquoise is a combination that is very ‘of the moment.’ This living room uses it subtly for a warm and feminine effect.
Another neutral option, the geometric pattern on this living room’s accent wall stands out against the calmly colored furnishings.
In a small space, a living room may have to take on more than one function. Here we see how a narrow room can be a comfortable seating area and a shared home office.
And sometimes decadence is the name of the game. Most of us will never have a grand piano, but if you do you should certainly make it a focal point of a room like it is here, with small, subtle furnishings sinking into the background.
An open floor plan demands creative use of furniture and decor. Here an area rug and large, heavy pieces keep the living area separate from the foyer.
Surrounding by glass and stunning views, the last thing this ultra modern living room needs is the obligatory television.
Low to the ground with a bit of mustard yellow, the furniture in this room screams mid-century.
The elliptical coffee table in the center of this spacious and modern living room is a tiny bit retro futuristic. Coupled with the white, grey, and red color scheme you’re almost in the Home of the Future. I wonder if there’s a refrigerator attached to a telephone hidden somewhere in the kitchen.
This living room does a stylish job of mixing and matching textures from a soft shaggy rug against hard tile to carved wooden ottomans and sleek upholstery.
In this slightly altered version of the previous room, the larger wall art is gone, bringing focus to the beautiful wood paneled wall.
Pristine white furniture that contrasts with inky dark walls is probably not idea for a family, but is super sleek for the most fashionable couple you know.
This artsy loft style with painted wood floors and cute sayings in frames makes you feel like finally getting to work on that novel.
Simple is perfect in this cool grey living room with massive, deep sofas. They make you want to take a nap even when you’re barely out of bed.
In a small apartment, the living room is visible from every angle. This stylish sectional and neutral coffee table are unobtrusive.
Coat the walls and ceilings of this modern living room with bamboo skewers and be instantly transported to a weird hipster luau, which sounds ironic.
At the end of the day, a living room really just needs a place to sit and a coffee table. This simple living room fills those requirements without much fuss, but with a lot of style.
And in a different look, we have the same flood of natural light and simple furnishings, but this time with massive lighting overhead and a wide open floorplan.
Swap out a camel chair for a tufted version in chocolate brown and you’ll have this version of the same Valkyrie Studio.
Overwhelming white can be a bit sterile, but with the addition of some slick art and plenty of light, this living room feels more elegant than ER.
Another day, another Grand Piano. This lovely living room would have you longing to learn your scales once again.
Japanese-inspired sliding doors keep books and documents hidden away when they’re not needed while allowing for necessary storage space.
Any furniture would feel dwarfed by these massive windows, so keeping things simple and comfortable is the right way to go.
