Several things can contribute to a successful living room design. Standout architectural features like fireplaces, custom built-ins and beamed or vaulted ceilings — as well as cohesive color palettes, rich materials and thoughtful furniture layouts — are all worth considering to elevate the look and feel of a space. You’ll find plenty of ideas to try in this countdown of the most-saved new living room photos recently uploaded to Houzz.
10. Sky High
This family room is part of a new open-plan kitchen, living and dining space added to the rear of a London home. Ahrberg Jackson Design helped select the finishes and furnishings, which include a stylish rose-and-sage color palette, floral wallpaper in the dining area, and a midtone wood entertainment unit with a mix of open and closed storage space plus a decorative slatted panel. The walls and ceiling are drenched in grayish-green paint that feels both bright and cozy thanks to a skylight and floor-to-ceiling glass.
9. Edgy Elegance
Open to a billiard room with a bar on one side and a spacious kitchen on the other, this Chicago-area family room by Amy Storm & Co. was designed for entertaining. The earthy, edgy mix of materials and colors reflects the home’s black-and-stone exterior. A chunky, geometric black coffee table echoes the bold aesthetic, anchoring an inviting seating area with a sectional upholstered in a nubby, neutral fabric.
8. Jardin Chic
In this relatively petite Parisian living room, Anne Chemineau maximized space with a built-in sectional that combines seating and storage. On the far wall, slim open shelving shows off decorative objects as well as the sweet floral wallpaper behind them. The contemporary furniture and pendant light contrast with the room’s traditional architectural details, which include a tray ceiling, elaborate molding, an arched glass door and a tall mirror with a richly embellished frame.
7. Let In the Light
Full-height glass and soaring ceilings connect this open-plan living room to its tropical setting south of Miami. Wecselman Design collaborated with the client and architect, Max Strang, to harmonize the interiors with a mature tree at the center of the property, choosing streamlined furnishings and a cohesive, quiet palette of black, beige, white and blond wood.
6. Rock and a Soft Place
Toblesky Green Architects connected this Reno, Nevada, living room to a covered veranda using a zero-corner glass bifold door system, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining space with dual fireplaces and TVs set into rugged stone. Inside, designer Theresa Reed furnished a cozy seating area with a plush sectional, soft rug and two Teddy bear-like chairs, all in warm earthy tones drawn from the wooded landscape.
5. Sunken Treasure
In a newly built home in Kirkland, Washington, Cohesively Curated designed a chic seating arrangement featuring a sectional and a round coffee table with a reeded base. A warm neutral palette and tactile textures flow through the open-plan layout into this sunken area, where a smoky blue velvet lounge chair adds a subtle pop of contrasting color — and appears to swivel so its occupant can face the stone-clad fireplace.
4. Neutral Expression
A steeply pitched, beamed cathedral ceiling creates a sense of spaciousness in this living room, while drawing the eye toward the minimalist fireplace and TV design. Built by Stonewood in a Minneapolis suburb, the home also has shed dormers and extra-tall black-framed windows that enhance the light-filled, open-plan space. The architecture may be dramatic, but the furnishings’ color palette is much more restrained, sticking to light neutral tones and accented with black elements that echo the window frames.
3. Global Appeal
Soaring ceilings gave designers from ODS Architecture the opportunity to hang a cluster of globe-style pendant lights over this contemporary Hillsborough, California, living room. The pendants’ gossamer-like shades, which filter the natural light coming in through the room’s large glass doors and windows, are voluminous but light and airy, creating a sculptural focal point without visual heft. Rounded furnishings echo the lights’ curves and soften the architecture’s straight lines and right angles.
2. Midcentury Meets Contemporary
Working with Guy Ayers Architect, Jeanne Moeschler Interior Design refreshed this midcentury Eichler home in Los Altos, California, for clients drawn to a Big Sur-inspired, coastal-cabin look. Moeschler — who uses Houzz Pro business software to manage projects — brought the outdoors in with blues and greens drawn from the views, along with earthy materials like raw linen, stone, wood and handmade ceramics. Light stone floors and pale sofas help brighten the once-dark interior and let the wood-paneled peaked ceiling get the attention it deserves.
1. That’s a Wrap
A striking fireplace structure made of black soapstone, walnut veneer and plaster takes center stage in this Raleigh, North Carolina, room by contractor Rafael Lopez of HomeBuild — whom the homeowner found on Houzz — and designer Alona Perov of Co Interiors. Set a few inches off the wall, the feature hovers slightly above the floor, extends up a wall and continues partway across a 12-foot ceiling painted a warm shade of gray. Multicolor LED backlights enhance its dramatic, floating effect, and clean-lined furnishings complement its contemporary-modern style.
