8 Living Room Decorating Ideas

1. Play With Neutral

Textures are the secret to giving your soft white living room a refresh. Take it from designer Sharon Rembaum, who dressed this living room with textured pieces in a neutral color palette to boost its overall coziness.

2. Aim for the Sky

This grand double-height living room designed by Liz Hoekzema features a hand-applied lime wash treatment on the chimney to introduce warmth and texture. "We love the wabi-sabi informality it lends, especially compared with the richness of the soapstone fireplace surround," Hoekzema says.

3. Deepen the Tone

Skip brighter hues for a living room that exudes a sultry and mysterious air. If you want a break from bright colors, this treasure of a space contains olive limewash walls, a terra-cotta velvet sofa, and eye-catching teal accents.

4. Add Unique Seating

A multifunctional classic, a nap bench can make lounging in your living room look twice as chic. Here, designer Zoë Feldman uses a Serena & Lily rattan piece to divide the large living area of the 2022 Whole Home without blocking the sculptural window.

5. Play the Piano

Sometimes your favorite piano is the elephant in the room due to its large size. Instead of hiding it in your basement, give a grand piano the spotlight it deserves. Corals, grays, and brass tones work well to give this living room designed by Mona Hajj a more dynamic yet also more approachable color story.

6. Build a Bar

Get the most out of your living room with a home bar stocked with your favorites. Designer John Fondas turned a shallow closet into an out-of-the-way bar nook with tons of wall storage by removing the doors and building-in cabinets as well as side shelves. The nautical and aquatic motifs are perfect for a Palm Beach party house.

7. Refresh With Accent Paint

We're loving this dark blue-green color in a living room corner designed by Avery Cox. It's stylish enough to hold its own against the rich chartreuse velvet fabric as well as the layers of quirky prints. She only painted one of the walls along with the door and moldings so that a complementary wallpaper could be applied on the opposite side.

8. Put a Record On

Victoria Sass of Project Refuge Studio snuck a record player into the corner of this texture-rich and minimalist living room. It opens right up into the kitchen, where the side of the island facing the sitting area contains ample exposed shelving for an extensive record collection.
