Our 100+ Fave Designer Living Rooms

A dramatic, dove-gray coffered ceiling and crisp white fireplace surround make for a showstopping duo in this formal living room. Soft white walls and blonde hardwoods offset the smoky, angular ceiling overhead to bring balance and brightness to the design. A grand chandelier looms above luxe velvet furnishings, crystal lamps and geometric sunburst accents to infuse the space with Art Deco appeal and modern day glamour.

Snowy board-and-batten walls provide a crisp backdrop for the inky, built-in bookcase and fireplace unit in this contemporary living room. Layers of lush plants, woven accents and wooden tchotchkes soften the stark black bookshelves and mirror the earth-toned furnishings. An ochre leather chaise and brindle hide rug nestle beside the hearth to provide a cozy spot to curl-up and unwind, fireside.

Classic shiplap walls and a stone fireplace surround yields timeless, coastal charm in this cottage living room. A vibrant waterscape oil painting flanked by two, shaded sconces makes a splash above the mantel, while indigo seat cushions and a pair of patterned poufs saturate the seating area below.

Entertaining is a breeze in this impressive, open-air living room design. The contemporary space features bright white walls, a white wood planked ceiling and inky, iron framed floor-to-ceiling glass doors that lead to the patio lounge for easy indoor-outdoor living. Blackband Design achieves a cozy, intimate feeling in the otherwise grand space by creating multiple seating areas, anchoring the design in symmetry and layering soft textures throughout.
