Smart living room

Use the pared-down look of a hotel to inspire your living room. The contrast of the dark-wood coffee table from Laura Ashley and leather armchair from Marks & Spencer, blends well with the neutral curtains, wall colour and flooring.

 

Symmetrical living room

In this traditional living room, matching chairs, lights and soft furnishings have been used to create a symmetrical scheme that draws the eye to the window. The luxurious Andrew Martin sofa, layered with cushions from Lelièvre and Carden Cunietti, is framed by two 1950s chairs from Revival and flanked by a pair of lacquered side tables with identical lamps and glass balls. A Rug Company Moses rug adds pattern and ties the scheme together.

 

Green living room sofa

A modern-style sofa with a traditional buttoned back has smart contemporary appeal. The shimmering wallpaper both reflects the green of the sofa as well as light into the room. 

 

Indoor-outdoor living room

Hanging patterned blinds gives shade from direct sunlight and adds a layer of interest to this living room scheme. Burnt-orange tones used both outside and in create a link between the two spaces, while natural linens evoke a tranquil mood. An area rug offers softness, as does a comfortably cushioned modular sofa. 

 

Pastel living room

Mix blue, and floral wallpaper for a soft, gentle living room style. The delicately patterned wallpaper and sofa are both from Laura Ashley, while the simple side table is from Ikea. The blue floral cushion on the sofa is from Lombok, and complements the room design perfectly.

 

Cream and brown living room

Accents of orange help break up the brown and neutral palette in a living room, while silk curtains and a velvet-covered sofa soften the masculine feel.

 

Eclectic living room

Mix antique pieces with contemporary items for a unique look. Here, patterned wallpaper from Neisha Crosland provides a seamless backdrop for the ornate table and lamps by William Yeoward.

 

Pale-gold and cream living rooms

A classically neutral colour scheme runs from the pale gold of the drawing room, through to the creams in the living and dining rooms, and stone in the kitchen. Farrow and Ball paints have been used throughout.

 

Divided living room

Change the proportions of a long, narrow room by dividing off one end with a sofa and creating a study area at the other. Position seating together so they face each other, the walls are painted a calming putty colour and the flooring is from Crucial Trading.

 

Traditional living room with TV area

To avoid the TV dominating the room, tuck the screen away in a bay window or recess. This George Smith footstool is a good idea for children or when extra seating is needed and baskets are a simple storage solution for DVDs. Avoid glare around the TV by fitting 'bottom up' roller blinds at the windows and paint a bespoke TV unit to match the scheme so that it blends in.

 

Classic white chair in living room

A classic deeply buttoned Andrew Martin armchair, with its distinctive diamond pattern, creates a focal point in a living room. Position next to a small table and it creates a desirable reading area too.

 

Georgian living room

Blue-and-white china inspired this drawing room. Pale walls are a backdrop for classic furniture and accessories. Natural Claremont Fabrics sofas and a blue footstool draw the eye to the fireplace. A scrolled side table, gilded frames and mirror create glamour, wood furniture warmth. Cream and aqua stripe Colefax & Fowler curtains add colour. 

 

Elegant Chesterfield sofa

Soften the tailored look of a Chesterfield sofa from George Smith with faded florals and deep buttoning. Satin catches the light beautifully when used for buttoned upholstery.

 

French-style living room

Simple, large-scale furniture, set against a palette of white and pale aqua, evokes the casual elegance of southern French houses. Accessories with a modern twist, such as the paper chandelier, add a stylish edge.

 

Country cottage living room

This elegant room is actually a 1970s extension but reclamation yard finds like the fireplace and floorboards give it a period feel. The chimney breast is covered in floral paper to offset the pale walls and woodwork. Built-in bookcases add storage, while period and modern furniture are mixed for interest.

 

Red and white living room

This living room has walls painted in a Farrow & Ball white, with a red sofa and a rug and curtains in a matching tone from Roger Oates Design. A wooden cabinet provides elegant storage, while a mix of contemporary and vintage furniture creates an eclectic look.

 

Colourful living room

This sitting room sets accents of bright lime and fuchsia against shades of blue for the walls, Sofa Workshop sofa and carpet. A white Oka table on a contemporary rug from The Braided Rug Company creates a focal point and picks up the stripes in the curtains. Bright cushions, glassware and a Malabar lime chair cover provide contrasting colour.

 

Elegant living room

Choose a calm colour scheme of cream and chocolate for your living room, and open up the space with a hard-wearing carpet from Kersaint Cobb. A plain, pale curtain from The Natural Fabric Company adds height to the room and contrasts well with the dark furniture.

 

Cosy living room

There are three contrasting tones in this room, red, taupe and green. The brightly coloured loose fitted covers for the sofa and striped curtains are from Laura Ashley. The cushions and floral rug from Marks and Spencer contrast beautifully with the sage-green walls. 

 

Highland living room

A Laura Ashley cream armchair adds sophistication, while traditional tasselled plaid cushions and throws are up-to-the-minute in lime, orange, pink and purple. A rich wooden framed mirror and a writing desk from The Holding Company continue the simple but sophisticated look. Heather in pots, enamel and stone ornaments and a wicker log basket complete the Highland theme.

 

Antique-filled living room

Shades of plum add warmth to this living room, and is a recurrent theme played out in the complementary blinds and wallpaper, Osborne & Little fabric-covered ottoman and Vaughan sofa upholstered in a Nina Campbell print. Gilt-framed paintings add a traditional feel to the room. 

 

Classic living room

Sage green velvet from Elizabeth Baer fabrics and a distinctive Neisha Crosland floral cushion make this Laura Ashley sofa an inviting place to relax. The French antique mirror adds light, space and a touch of grandeur, while the open-fronted, panelled cupboard provides additional storage.

 

Artwork living room

A painting creates a focal point and inspires the colour scheme. Key shades of blue and soft natural tones are picked out and introduced in the Wesley Barrell sofa, cushions, curtains and walls. Gilded wall sconces from Nordic Style balance the painting and contrast with its simple wooden frame. A footstool and Roger Oates silver rug add texture.

Space-saving living room

Pale mauve walls add interest to this compact living room without making it feel boxed in, and square and boxy furniture create a clutter-free look. A bespoke storage unit keeps books on display, stores away extra clutter, and also doubles up as a desk. Cube stools make a handy occasional seat and are tucked away neatly under the coffee table.

 

Vintage-style living room

Small, framed family photos have been hung from picture hooks to create an eye-catching yet space-efficient feature in this compact living room. A shelving unit is made to work harder by adding storage baskets full of smaller bits and bobs. Both the coffee table and the console table have drawers for DVDs, books and papers, and a large rattan basket is great to store extra blankets.

The gentle curves of this traditional sofa offer a perfect way to create a smart, elegant living room scheme. Fabric in a bold floral pattern will make a strong statement when teamed with other soft furnishings and curtains in the same colour. Rich raspberry gives the look an added kick.

 

Coastal living

Fresh coastal blue works beautifully used in moderation as an accent colour. In this room, we used white and mid-brown as the foundation of the scheme for walls, flooring and furniture, then simply added fabrics and accessories in a matching sun-bleached denim shade to create a living space that's airy and inviting.

 

Cool blue living

With its washed-out blues and soft creams, this is a wonderfully calming scheme that is perfect for living rooms. Choose furniture in pale colours that look as if they've been bleached by the sun.
