45 Living Room Style Ideas
I don’t know about you, but my living room is the heart of my home.
It’s the place where I curl up and read a book, where I gather with friends on a rainy evening, or where I relax with my husband after a long day.
It’s also the room that I’ve spent the most time decorating!
I’ve shared a few living room style ideas in the past, but I thought it was time to share an updated version.
This is my favorite room in my house, and I’ve put a lot of thought (and money) into making it feel like home. I hope you enjoy these living room style ideas!
1. Go for a classic look with a traditional style
Traditional style living rooms are all about creating an elegant, yet comfortable space.
The furniture has a classic look, with more formal seating and often a focal point like a fireplace.
The color scheme is usually quite neutral, with a few accent colors used to add interest.
The decor is usually quite minimal and the focus is on the furniture, which is often quite large and statement making.
2. Create a modern living room style
Modern living rooms are all about keeping the space uncluttered and the furniture sleek.
The color palette you choose can make a big difference in the overall feel of a modern living room.
White, grey and black are all popular choices for modern living room decor, but you could also add in a muted accent color if you want to add some interest.
3. Create a beachy living room style
If you are after a more relaxed, informal style, then a beachy living room is a great look to go for.
It’s all about creating a space that’s light and airy, with a neutral color palette and just a few pops of beachy colors.
You can’t go wrong with a pale blue in a beachy living room.
It’s a classic color that’s never going to go out of style and it’s so easy to bring in through soft furnishings and wall colors.
We love the simplicity of this beach inspired living room. The color palette is so calm and yet the room still feels bright and welcoming.
The artwork and the accessories bring in that coastal vibe, and the soft patterned rug adds a bit of texture and interest.
4. Create a colorful living room style
If you love color, the living room is the perfect place to show off a vibrant, personality-packed scheme.
There are so many ways you can introduce color to your space,
but if you are a fan of a more traditional decor style, you can layer up a few different hues in a more classic way.
Start with a neutral foundation of pale blues and creams and then add in pops of color with your furniture and accessories.
Here, the mustard yellow sofa and the bright teal footstool add a lovely pop of color to the room without overwhelming the space.
5. Create a mid-century modern living room style
Mid-century modern style is about as cool as it gets. The design is all about organic shapes, clean lines, and a mix of textures and patterns.
You can create a mid-century modern living room style by using a simple color palette and adding in pops of color.
When it comes to furniture, focus on pieces that have tapered legs and are low to the ground.
You can also add in some colorful, abstract art to give your space a mid-century modern vibe.
6. Create a glam living room style
If you love an art deco look, a glam living room style could be the perfect choice.
Classic art deco style is all about bold colors, luxurious materials, and symmetrical patterns. So, you can see where the living room trend comes in.
Start by choosing a bold color to build your scheme around, here it’s the blue of the sofa.
Then add in gold accents, a statement rug, and a large mirror.
All the symmetry in the furniture and decor you choose will create the art deco look and keep the space feeling balanced.
7. Create a farmhouse living room style
The farmhouse look is still going strong, and it’s no wonder why. This style is all about creating a cozy, casual space that’s perfect for gathering.
To get the look, opt for a large, comfortable sofa and add in plenty of textures with throw pillows, blankets, and a rug.
A large coffee table is a must for this style, and you can add in some farmhouse decor touches like a large vase of flowers,
a couple of baskets, and some wood accents.
This is a great style if you want a living room that feels casual and cozy but still polished.
8. Create a casual living room style
The key to a casual living room is to keep the space feeling relaxed and un-fussy.
That means an informal layout, plenty of soft furnishings and a mix of styles to create a more eclectic look.
This living room is a great example of how to bring in different styles, but still keep the space looking cohesive.
The traditional rug and the ornate fireplace are balanced out by the more modern furniture and the simple color scheme.
9. Create a boho living room style
We love a boho living room. It’s a look that’s perfect for small living rooms as it’s all about layering and creating a relaxed, but still very pulled together feel.
Start with a neutral color palette then bring in pops of color through your choice of soft furnishings.
We love the mix of patterns in this living room – the wallpaper, the rug and the throw all bring in different textures and colors but because they are
all in the same color palette it works.
