1 Silver symmetry
This modern yet minimalist design oozes symmetry and balance with its grey shades, silver accents, and two eye-catching dark brown chairs.
A richly finished wooden background gives the living room a natural feel that ties together the entire look.
It’s all in perfect harmony!
2 Small apartment
A small living room is the perfect canvas for minimalism to take center stage.
Here, an artful selection of pieces create a harmonious design where even mismatched colors find their rhythm through similar hues.
From a grey sofa and coffee table paired with black accents in the picture frame and floor lamp to that final touch – a faux fur rug – it all works together gorgeously!
3 Not so empty living room
In this stunning open plan, the living room and kitchen come alive in perfect harmony.
Crisp white furniture pops against a warm brown background while an azure area rug ties it all together creating a cozy yet inviting atmosphere.
Designers rejoice!
This simple setup is infinitely customizable with just some small accent changes – think of throw pillows as your secret weapon for an entirely new look every day!
4 Black furniture
Look no further for apartment decor perfection!
The sleek black leather furniture with its bold hue provides a stunning contrast to any homes’ neutral tones.
And not only is it eye-catching, but that low shelf beneath the TV can be used as both an additional decoration and a side table when friends come over.
It even matches with another wall shelf behind – making this piece of furnishing ideal in tight spaces!
5 One big sofa
This design has the allure of a simple color palette with cream, beige and pale rose.
An L-shaped sectional is at its center — neutral in hue yet managing to grab plenty of attention standing alone atop an unchanging landscape.
Not even a coffee table or console can distract from it’s grandeur!
Yet there could be one roadblock: such large pieces sometimes don’t let much flexibility come into play when it comes to foot traffic flow paths… so weigh your options carefully before jumping on this stylish bandwagon.
6 Big chimney
This home captures a unique style that is both chic and comfortable.
High glass ceilings let in ample natural light, illuminating the striking contrast between dark features like the chimney and black leather sofa set against colorful geometric patterns of bright blankets draped over accent chairs.
To top it off, glossy concrete floors are perfectly balanced by a stylish yellow rug – making this design truly one-of-a kind!
7 Elegant color palette
This classic white walled living room is like a blank canvas ready to be filled with the stylish touches of modern décor.
A cozy grey sectional sofa sets off the dark brown laminated floor while an accent chair brings in subtle shades of alabaster and taupe, complimenting its surroundings beautifully.
The perfect finishing touch?
An eye-catching coffee table whose sleek design melds effortlessly into this stunning apartment dweller’s artistic vision!
Pieces such as vases bring pops of color thanks to orange and copper hues – ensuring that no detail (or splash) goes unnoticed!
Finally, a large painting ties it all together by balancing out their sophisticated palette perfectly.
8 Serene small apartment
This living room may be small, but its beauty is anything but!
With a chic combination of white and grey walls to open the space up visually, this serene oasis looks even more elegant with subtle yet striking accents.
The light gray sofa serves as an inviting centerpiece while dark gray and copper pillows set just the right mood against the jet-black blanket.
Surely it’s no surprise why they call these colors timeless classics!
9 Wall art piece
The perfect wall art can bring pizzazz and personality to any room, which is why this mid-century modern getup succeeds with its timelessly fresh blend of black, white and grey.
The living space looks cozy yet chic – the classic gray sofa ties in beautifully with the low table set and area rug’s geometric flair we all know & love from abstract artwork.
To finish off a truly livable vibe: attractive accent pieces like throw pillows galore plus decorative touches such as trays, vases, chairs… even floor lamps!
All paired together just right for an on-trend living haven that will never go out of style.
10 More wall art
This open-floor home offers a cool and serene atmosphere with its muted color palette, providing for multiple leisurely activities – from relaxing on the grey sofa to dabbling in some kitchen cookery.
Having said that, we can also see one small misstep: the loud pop art piece doesn’t quite match this tranquil space.
For optimal stylistic choices such as these wall decorations, look no further than mid-century pieces or any other artwork of subdued hues!
11 Turquoise accents
Ah, this room is a masterclass in style; nothing has been left to chance!
The walls and ceiling are white as the snow – classic elegance.
But look down at that flooring: it’s like walking on clouds with its natural pale carpet.
You can’t miss the abstract turquoise painting which gives us our only splash of color here – even matching up the throw pillows and blanket too for maximum visual impact!
A pro tip from me? If interior design isn’t your thing, stick to fewer colors – ease yourself into success by pairing just one or two shades together nicely.
All I would do differently? Get rid of my area rug (if there was one), lower my wall art dramatically, then group all stools around an awesome coffee table…a budding designer?!
12 Yellow accent
Transform your living room corner into a cozy oasis of beauty and relaxation!
The natural wood floor, black sidewall, white walls with golden & grey details create an inviting atmosphere.
Anchor the look by introducing a deep yellow accent chair – it’ll be sure to draw all eyes.
13 Clean look
This mid-century modern apartment can be a perfect oasis for the young professional or even the interior designer.
Imagine walking into this peaceful and serene living space – no airs, but all subtlety; just like nature’s canvas with its deep orange walls and black leather sofa as their centerpiece guarded by an elegant vase against one corner.
If simplicity is what you seek, then look no further!
14 Cozy take on minimalism
This room is the perfect blend of comfort and sleekness – not your typical minimalistic style!
The grey color palette creates a tranquil, serene feel while two wood coffee tables and some plants contribute an element of warmth.
An area rug lends texture to the space and helps frame two intricate pencil drawings that bring everything together for one cozy yet chic look.
15 Beach vibes
With its polished concrete walls and wood furniture, this design is perfect for any beach house.
Its subtle touches of red and green bring life to the natural finishes – making it a must-have on your list!
16 Minimalism for big families
A family living room doesn’t need to be extravagant – just a few pieces of smart furniture with clean lines will do the trick!
For those big family gather-arounds, you can fit in everyone around an ottoman coffee table that doubles as extra seating.
And when all’s said and done, your home looks spick and span without sacrificing any comfort or style.

19 Retro style
Step into this living room and you will be immediately taken aback by the creative design.
The white walls with red ceramic tiles provide a great contrast that sets up the tone for an artistic layout – like a masterpiece!
Mixed amongst it is one large wooden sofa, tall blue floor lamp, area rug seemingly ripped from art books of yesteryear as well its companion geometrical piece to match in shape & colors .
What we might also miss at first glance due to muted tones are all those carefully curated little trinkets on display along side the painting.
20 Feminine living room corner

The rounded pink sofa with its golden legs pairs seamlessly with the gold coffee tables and floor lamp, while the large monstera plant adds a splash of green that ties everything together perfectly!
