Embrace Your Architecture
When decorating your living room, be sure to consider the architectural features you want to highlight. This living room, designed by Leah Alexander ofBeauty is Abundant,充分利用大型窗户和令人惊叹的壁炉。
"Featuring pillows and a faux fur throw from West Elm, situated in front of a sleek fireplace clad on all sides in modern large-format black tile, this living room has just enough furniture to entertain or for family movie night but is open and airy enough to enjoy the light filtering in," Alexander explains.
带上自然元素
This coastal living room designed by Desiree Burns ofD Burns Interiors带有藤编椅,超大植物和深绿色沙发的户外户外元素。
“这个房间的主题是”不是你的平均海滩之家“,”伯恩斯说。“我希望它有点有一个沿海氛围,没有那种脸。我喜欢整个房间里的俏皮颜色和纹理。“
Choose Smart Lighting
这间轻型和明亮的客厅,也由Desiree Burns设计D Burns Interiors, makes use of a statement pendant in the center of the room. The chandelier adds great light and interest to the ceiling.
"I love how the brass chandelier plays up the modern and the leather and wood chairs ground the room," Burns says.
Go for an Eclectic Vibe
The team atBrexton Cole Interiorsblended traditional elements like full-length draperies and French-inspired accent chairs with more modern elements like an acrylic coffee table and zebra rug. The room feels like a mix of treasures from this approach to design.
重新思考窗口治疗
When you've been given the gift of gorgeous windows, sometimes it makes sense to leave them untouched by window treatments.
"When designing the living room, I wanted to create a space that felt open, light, and fresh," Victoria Bell ofVictoria Bell Design解释。"The combination of the vaulted ceilings, beams, and oversized sectional is the perfect recipe for a relaxed Sunday with the family."
逐渐下来
我们将这个客厅展示了最大主义的完美典范。座右铭?更多更多。随着彩色,图案和纹理的乐趣组合,从地板到天花板,这个房间令人难以忘怀。
“我们想创造一个真正捕获客户的个性的空间,”设计师Dekay & Tate说。“这个空间非常表达,充满活力,创造性,蓬勃发展,乐趣,中世纪,青少年风格。”
休闲氛围
并非所有客厅都必须正式。如果您想要更加轻松的氛围,请竭尽全力,大量的枕头和抛出,很多人的触感。
"I was inspired to create a casual yet sophisticated living space for a family of seven," designer Ruqiya Imtiaz of工作室riu.说。“这种生活空间被设计为家居中心的一个伟大的房间;我希望它成为整个家庭的会议和聚集空间。一个美丽,休闲,舒适的家庭,可以闲逛,放松和做出无尽的回忆。“
Add a Window Seat
In need of a cozy spot to read a book? Us too. Take a cue from Mani Tagba ofAfro Bohemian Livingand add a window seat to your space. Layer in plenty of pillows and bring in lighting for a spot you'll never tire of.
将室内与户外融为一体
如果你是一个骄傲的植物父母,这是对你的。通过像生木头和几个蕨类植物一样带进户外元素,作为Mani Tagba的Afro Bohemian Living在这里,您可以使用室外空间创建无缝集成。
Go Rustic
Rustic homes are having a major moment. To keep the room from looking too大草原上的小房子, bring in some softer elements for some contrast.
“我想在这篇文章中平衡所有木材的崎岖的品质,并用良好的女性能量射门,”Christina KimChristina Kim Interior Design解释。"We brought in a soft down-filled sectional, pretty blush fabrics, soft drapery and a pair of ladylike lamps to create that great juxtaposition."
Layer Texture
When in doubt, add texture. This living room is proof that a mix of textures is key to a one-of-a-kind space.
“我们分层了漂亮的白人和chalky taupes,在这个沿海之家创造一个柔软的通风客厅,”克里斯蒂娜金Christina Kim Interior Design说。"We added soft blue velvet and lots of texture to create this relaxed vibe, natural but polished."
Focus on Comfort
Remember that a living room should feel like people actually live there, even if you're going for a more formal look.
"I wanted more than anything for this room to be comfortable and approachable,"Christina Kim ofChristina Kim Interior Design解释。"We installed smooth beams on the ceilings and tied in the same wood tones on the frame of the chair, mantle top, even the frame of the art to carry the warmth through the room."
Blend Warm and Cool Tones
Though it seems like this is a mostly white living room, there's more to it than meets the eye. Jennifer Backstein of珍妮弗靠背士室内设计mixed warm and cool tones throughout the room to a very comfy result.
"For this living room design, we paired warm and cool neutrals with pale pastel tones to create a clean, calming and cozy space," Backstein explains.
考虑你的生活方式
如果您有幼儿或宠物,请考虑高性能面料。如果你喜欢娱乐,想想包括酒吧车or extra seating in the layout. In this loft apartment fromStudio Yaquiin collaboration withJP Design Inc,客户是一名年轻专业,谁想要一个有趣的客厅更新。
带来软元素
We're completely obsessed with this pink couch and overall living room setup fromHouse of Harvee。通过添加这些柔软和甜蜜的元素,如地板枕头和新鲜的绽放,哈维的房子能够创造一个温馨舒缓的空间,感觉就像一个温暖的拥抱。
融合设计风格
You have multiple facets to your personality, so why wouldn't you also have multiple tastes in design? Mix and match your favorites to create a space that's uniquely you.
"My client defined her style as 'midcentury modern's older sister'—a little midcentury, but a little classic," Cathie Hong ofCathie Hong Interiors说。“这个客厅用中性色调,干净的线条和几何奇思妙想对这种风格构成。”
Get Rid of Clutter
有时更少。捐赠任何不会引发快乐的东西,所以你可以专注于做的事情。
"This living room is bright, clean and graphic," Cathie Hong ofCathie Hong Interiors说。“我的客户有四个小孩,所以她想要一个舒适但整洁的空间,为她的家人聚集和花时间在一起。”
Add Contrast
在这个邀请的客厅里,红洪专注于创造一种宜居空间,通过表示要点包括对比来仍然带来充足的兴趣。
“这家舒适的地方坐落在太平洋西北地区的树木中,”鸿Cathie Hong Interiors解释。"We really embraced the existing warm gray walls and wood trim and layered in soft blush tones, creams, and some black for contrast."
Let There Be Light
没有光明的地方,创造一些!
“当我们设计这个空间时,我们知道我们需要更多的光线,所以增加一个大的天窗是我们的第一个优先事项,”团队背后Arbor & Co。说。“它开辟了这间房间,并增加了真正需要的阳光。”
Bring in a Mirror
镜子反射光线并倾向于让房间感觉更大,这两个主要原因我们爱他们。
"My go-to-move is using a large circular mirror anywhere I can put one!" Sarah fromArbor & Co。说。"Most of the time I love to place them above the fireplaces when I style a living room."
Make it Cozy
Dark walls, plenty of wood accents, and some hanging plants are a recipe for a cozy room — just askArbor & Co。
"This particular space we wanted to keep moody and cozy so we decided to leave the natural stone on the fireplace," Sarah explains. "Since the room was an interesting shape with the stairway, we made the stairway wall into a built in book shelf which turned out super rad."
Go Classic
Black and white is a color combination that will never go out of style.
"I fell in love with these black windows," Sarah fromArbor & Co。explain. "Styling this home was fun because it had just been remodeled. It's a craftsman home with all modern fixtures. I used a lot of black and white to make the windows pop even more."
Highlight the Best Features
Play up what you love about your living room, like the gorgeous oversized fireplace seen here. The statement pendant on the ceiling helps complement the feature as do the two woven chairs flanking either side.
"I love that there's no mantel on this one," Sarah fromArbor & Co。解释。“这只是不需要一个。我爱的另一个方面是吸引你的大型天花板吊坠。”
层盖
在同一个房间的另一侧Arbor&Co., the team kept things simple to keep the focus on the fireplace. But simple doesn't mean boring—take a look at the layered rugs.
"This one was a funky layout which was a fun challenge for me, but I pulled it all together by overlapping the rugs," Sarah explains. "I added a cluster of art over the couch for some modern flairs."
Consider Scale
What works in one living room might not work in another; it all comes down to proportions. A wide space like this benefits from larger furniture and oversized accent chairs.
“我只是喜欢这个空间有多大,宽,明亮,”Sarah来自Arbor & Co。说。"It's good to add some texture to a huge all-white room, so that was the goal here. Large pieces of furniture and a large cozy rug!"
Don't Forget the Walls
The addition of simple draperiesand a textured macrame wall hanging help bring a contemporary touch to a Craftsman home.
“波特兰充满了许多较老的家园,能够用现代触摸来风格,是我的最爱,”莎拉来自Arbor&Co.说。"The windows in these homes are always so beautiful. I love seeing what people keep from the original houses like pendants and old brick fireplaces."
Carve Out Space
In this living room designed byArbor&Co.,球队通过入口处利用了一个小区域来创造一个生活区,证明你不需要大量的空间或正式的门厅,可以放松或娱乐空间。
当雕刻出一个起居区时,特别是在开放式概念布局中,一定要使用地毯来定义来自家庭其余部分的空间。
Add Some DIYs
当有疑问时,DIY它。
"I built the side shelves and made texture art above the fireplace mantel to bring warmth to what was bare," Amanda of design blog韦威尔解释。"We didn’t have enough lighting in the room, so I bought these brass plug in sconces with long white cords to add function and beautiful form. I also enjoy using a lot of live plants in this room to give life and refreshment to the space."
Make Neutrals Interesting
中性颜色方案永远不会出现风格,但它可能很难保持有趣。跟随只有定制's lead and look for furniture in neutral shades but stunning shapes. Our favorite feature of this room has to be the deep green ceiling tile — another gorgeous take on a simple color scheme.
Go for a Statement Sofa
You'll be spending a lot of time in the living room, so you might as well like the furniture. Stephanie Watkins ofCasa Watkins Livingchose a stunning green velvet sectional to anchor her space. Consider high-performance fabrics if your living room will be frequented by pets, kids, or lots of guests.
混合和匹配模式
从亚特兰大设计Duo带着一个提示Forbes Mastersthe next time you're thinking of mixing patterns. The team blended small motifs like herringbone with a more organic watercolor print of the rug with a larger mudcloth pattern on the pillow. A perfect combination.
Embrace Traditional Details
Features like wainscoting should be highlighted, like designer Gail Davis of盖毛戴维斯设计在这里做了。与传统壁纸混合的温暖蓝色创造了一个很好的旧符合新的偏置。
Curate Your Shelves
If you're lucky enough to have built-ins (or even just a bookcase), be sure to style them wisely. A mix of textures, shapes, and colors, as seen in this design by Karen Emile of牛奶和蜂蜜生活,是一种聪明的方式。留下一些空的空间,所以它们看起来并不杂乱。
创建一个阅读角落
No window seat, no problem. Designer艾米莉亨德森配对带有杂志架的皮椅,副桌子加倍,并加入了一个舒适的扔腿和口气枕头。椅子+桌子+ Braille =阅读Nook的完美配方。
变黑和喜怒无常
光的颜色从小型l rooms can make the space feel larger, but dark colors can make them feel incredibly cozy.韦林达希亨为这款电视室选择了一个喜怒无常的黑色涂料,甚至覆盖着修剪,以创造一个完美的空间,可以解决。
Or Choose Earthy Shades
On the opposite end of the spectrum, this light and bright living room fromLight & Dwellevokes a sunny farmhouse vibe. As the home is in the Pacific Northwest, designer Molly Kidd brought in earthy greens to mimic the natural surroundings.
融合你的生活和用餐空间
In small or open concept spaces, sometimes you have tocombine your living and eating spaces。Do asAnne Sagedid in this home and add a rug to your living space to define that area. A buffet in the dining area helps anchor that space.
去(几乎)单色
If you have a favorite color, why not go all out? Danielle Nagel ofDazey Den.柔和的粉色,让她这个丽芙·缪斯ing area. A deep teal chair is one of the only other shades in the space.
播放原色
如果你需要灵感,转向色轮。凯蒂马丁内斯凯蒂马丁内斯设计studied her color theory, mixing yellow with its fellow primary color, blue. The rest of the space is kept fairly neutral to highlight the bold color choice.
Consider Shapes
When choosing furniture, always consider the shape of each piece. Katie Hodges of凯蒂霍奇斯设计mixed shapes and visual weight to give interest to a neutral living room. A soft, rounded chair mixed with a spiral-leg coffee table, and an airy woven chair give an eclectic but chic vibe to the space.
坚持彩色方案
When designing a living room, don't be afraid of color. The team at工作室Peake.chose a faded red, bright blue, and white color scheme for this cozy and traditional living area.
Create an Office Area
Sometimes your living room has to doubleas a home office太。跟随工作室Peake.'s lead and add a desk, comfy chair, and task lamp to your living room for a workspace that's as beautiful as it is functional.
添加雕塑元素
This living room byYael Weiss Interiorsis worthy of a museum. The designer played with striking pieces, evoking high art and sculpture. We can't get over the coffee table.
Try Tone-on-Tone
If you're thinking of going monochrome, but you're not sure you want to commit to one shade, try a tone-on-tone look. In this living room designed byWhittney Parkinson Design, various shades of cream and taupe are blended for a calming and inviting look.
Mix Old and New
复古和当前趋势为不拘一格的空间。设计师Tyler Karublended an old-fashioned painting with more updated accessories like this peace sign gold sculpture for a one-of-a-kind living room.
commit
Sarah FultzSarah Fultz Interiors.isn't afraid of a bold color choice. She covered the brick fireplace, walls, and ceiling of this living room in a deep hunter green shade, keeping the floors and furniture light.
Warm Up White Walls
白墙永远不会出现风格,但有时他们可以感到有点无菌。Sarah FultzSarah Fultz Interiors.avoided that problem, by adding warm-toned art to the walls and plenty of cozy furnishings.
考虑房间的视觉重量
Too much heavy furniture and your room just won't work. A mix of both heavy and light furniture (in terms of visual weight) is the way to go, as seen here in this living room designed byPure Salt Interiors。
