The main room in the house should be a welcoming, practical space for everyone in the family and reflect the best of your designing abilities.\u00a0Whether you are about to do a complete makeover\u00a0or a quick change, spice up the family’s favorite room with these\u00a0living room design ideas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Low furniture<\/h2>\n
Short pieces, like this tufted couch, keep an\u00a0open floor plan\u00a0cozy. Use area rugs to\u00a0define individual “rooms” within the space.<\/p>\n

Living room design ideas. Sneaky furniture<\/h2>\n
In a small living room, choose a few full-size furniture pieces instead of cramming in lots of smaller ones. The living room will fell larger and you will have a sofa you actually like to sit on.<\/p>\n

Dramatic color<\/h2>\n
Give beige a break. Dramatic hues can drench\u00a0a large living room, but also provide a fairly neutral background, like this inky blue.<\/p>\n

Living room design ideas. Subtle pattern<\/h2>\n
Avoid future boredom with calm colors using texture and pattern. In this dreamy beach house living room, prints in the same palette make the neutral color room interesting.<\/p>\n

Statement rug<\/h2>\n
The key to subtle color lays at your feet. A patterned carpet plays up the neutral furniture, while a similarly-hued pillow adds another punch to the armchair.<\/p>\n

Living room design ideas. Sheer curtains<\/h2>\n
The quickest way to let light in starts at the source. Replace heavy fabric curtains with gauzy ones, making sure the panels go all the way to the floor. To accentuate a tall ceiling, mount the drapes about a foot above windows and doors.<\/p>\n

Chic Storage<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
Need space? Swap boring shelving for more decorative options, then load up on fabric boxes or baskets to hide an overflow of\u00a0knick knacks.<\/p>\n

Living room design ideas. Family-friendly<\/h2>\n
If you like white furniture, here’s how it\u00a0can work in a house with kids. Just choose durable fabrics (a leather couch) and surfaces (the plastic rocker, the lacquer table) that wipe clean easily.<\/p>\n

Inviting corner<\/h2>\n
If you enjoy reading or other relaxing activities by yourself in your living room, create a nice,\u00a0cozy corner, using happy colors. It will look as pretty as it is practical.<\/p>\n

Living room design ideas. Fast fixes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Makeover a room by rethinking the pieces you already have. Use up leftover wall paint on the frame of an old chair or refresh curtains and pillows by sewing fancy trim along the edge.<\/p>\n
