65 Elegant Living Room Design Schemes to Complete Your Home
Budget-friendly tips to craft a chic and functional space.
Spacecrafting
Out of every room in your home, the living room deserves the most interior design attention. Just like your kitchen (or even more so), you spend hours on end there, so it needs to be outfitted for a range of activities. A comfy sofa is crucial for family movie nights, a good rug is an essential for playing with your little ones and great lighting is key for evening reading sessions. In other words, every detail counts.
We've rounded up our favorite living room ideas that are full of design inspiration. These elegant living room designs — which also happen to be budget-friendly if you want to recreate — will give you pointers on refreshing your space or moving forward with a complete revamp. Whether you're working with a small living room or a large space, these design ideas will help get you on your way to creating your dream room.

Versatile End Tables
Searching for a way to boost your living room's functionality? Not only can end tables be easily moved around the space, but you can also use them as a work surface or spot for kids to tackle homework. When they're not in use, place books or flowers on top as you would with traditional coffee tables.

Soothing Palette
Let the vibes flow from room-to-room with another clever paint tip. "I often paint a home one color throughout," says Susana Simonpietri, interior designer and co-founder of Chango & Co. "Or, I'll try the softest hue in the room that gets the most natural light, then work through the rest of the home with deepening shades of blue and gray."

Slate and Copper
Pair metallic accents (we see you, adorable end table) with traditional wood pieces to add depth and visual interest to your living room.

Better Flow
It's not as much about where you place your furniture as it is about the style of pieces you choose. "In each room I design, I try to include at least one round piece, such as a coffee table, that people can walk around without bumping their knees," says interior designer Katie Rosenfeld. "I also add a few armchairs and a versatile piece like a garden stool that can be used as a stool to sit on or as a table for a drink."

Streamlined Screen
Don't let your primetime viewing habits impede your style. "Go for a slim TV (mine is a Samsung), and use a thin mount that lets it sit flat against the wall," says lifestyle blogger Carley Knobloch. "Then have the wires threaded through the wall so it looks uncluttered."

Velvet Sofa
Make your living room feel much airer (and spacious) by replacing a bulky sectional with pretty seating. Besides, what feels more luxe than velvet?

Dual-Purpose Bar Cart
Setting up a booze station on your bar cart is a no brainer — but using it as an end table (especially when space is limited) to showcase blooms, art, and coffee table books is just brilliant.

Low Furniture
Short pieces, like this tufted couch, give an open floor plan a cozy feel. Use area rugs to define individual "rooms" within the space.

Navy Walls
Give beige a break. Dramatic hues can drench a large living room, like this inky wallpaper. The deep blue provides a surprisingly neutral backdrop.

Comfy Seating
Your style may be polished, but your furniture can still be cozy. Plush sofas and armchairs rule the roost in Ellen Pompeo's L.A. home. "It's fancy in a cool way, not in an 'I can't sit there' way," she says.

Chic Storage
Need space, stat? Swap boring shelving for more decorative options, then load up on fabric boxes or baskets to hide an overflow of knick knacks.

Slim Footprint
Save square footage without sacrificing seating by using dining chairs in the living room. A rattan-and-cane perch takes up less real estate than a traditional recliner.

Yep, white furniture can 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.
