Living Room Inspiration and Design Ideas

INSPIRATION

Formal living rooms are not as popular as they once were. Our living room will be an informal, comfortable place to unwind. With the living room being in the front of the house the space has to flow well with the dining room, yet feel inviting and complement the dining room.

Going with my overall home color scheme of Gray, Black, White and Gold/Silver accents, I am looking at either black or charcoal gray accent chairs. I want the living room to be more of a conversation spot with four chairs, a coffee table and area rug.

We will not have the wine cabinet on the back wall but the layout and front windows will be the same. I love how the living room in this model is not too formal but comfortable and classy. The orange chairs against the calm color palette really brightens up the space. I like the idea of bright colored furniture but I don’t like the lack of versatility. With neutral chairs I can change the décor such as pillows, window treatments and wall art and totally transform the look of the space without having to purchase new chairs. I will possibly change my décor seasonal because I get bored sometimes.

I absolutely LOVE this space. The black, white and gray color scheme really works well with this space. I love the shiny silver coffee table and the mirrors on the wall.

I like the clean lines displayed in the black with white piped accent chairs. The dark grey walls also brings interest to the room. The light flooring keeps the room balanced and open. This room gives off a masculine vibe but I like the décor.

3D Designs

I put together a 3D rendering of the living room space. I really want the space to be classy and inviting. The living room is 12’8″ x 12 which isn’t a huge space. I don’t want the space to feel too tight or over crowded. Knowing how to place the furniture and where is very important in designing this home. Below are a few design ideas I invision for the space.
