49 Ikea Inspired Living Room Ideas

So you’ve decided to get a new sofa or a new coffee table and you’re not quite sure what style to go for,

or you’re not sure how to make it work with the rest of your living room.

Well, you’re in the right place. I’ve put together a list of some of the most popular living room styles and how you can get the look using IKEA furniture.

1. Use a mix of materials for your living room

When you are working with a neutral color scheme, it’s important to add in different materials to add interest to the space.

This gorgeous living room has a subtle color scheme but the mix of velvet, wood, metal and even some marble bring in plenty of texture.

The key to adding in more materials is to keep them all in a similar color palette.

This room has a lot of soft, pastel hues but they are all balanced with plenty of white so the space doesn’t feel too overwhelming.

2. Choose a color scheme and stick to it

Before you even think about what furniture you want to include, you should decide on a color scheme.

This will help to guide all of your decisions as you plan your living room design.

In this room, a blue, white and grey color scheme has been used. The color scheme is subtle and calm, perfect for a living room.

If you want to add more color, you could easily do so by adding a rug or some artwork.

3. Have a focal point in your room

Every room needs a focal point. It’s what your eye is drawn to when you first walk into a room. In a living room, it’s often the fireplace, a piece of art, or the TV.

In this room, the focal point is the large piece of art.

The furniture placement and the rug help to create a frame around the art, which makes it stand out even more.

When you’re designing your room, decide on the focal point and then arrange the furniture around that.

It will help to create a sense of balance in your room, and make it feel put together.

4. Add a personal touch to your living room

Your living room should be a space that makes you happy, so be sure to add your own personal touches.

This could be anything from a gallery wall of your favorite prints to a display of your most treasured items.

You can also add in some color by displaying your favorite books, or even add in some color with a stack of vintage suitcases.

5. Add a green touch to your living room

And we mean that quite literally – add a houseplant to your living room.

Not only will it bring a pop of color, but it will also add texture and a natural, fresh vibe.

We love the way this plant has been used in this living room to add a subtle hint of color to the otherwise neutral space.

You could also add color and interest by displaying your plants in stylish pots and stands.

6. Use your walls to add some personality to your living room

I am a big fan of gallery walls – especially in a living room.

They can be a great way to add some personality to an otherwise boring space and are a lot easier to create than you might think.

We have a great tutorial on how to create a gallery wall that you should check out if you like the look of this living room.

7. Add some light to your room

You can never have too much light in your living room.

If you have a window in your living room, make sure to keep it open and clear of any clutter.

You can also add some sheer curtains or light-colored blinds to let in natural light while still maintaining some privacy.

If you don’t have a lot of natural light in your living room, consider adding some floor lamps, table lamps, or even string lights to brighten up the space.
