125 Living Room Design Ideas: Focusing On Styles And Interior Décor Details
Apartment living rooms.
Most of the times, regardless of the style you choose for the décor, apartment interiors will be very different from those in most houses and residences. First of all, the internal distribution of the rooms is not something you can control or change drastically. Then the location and the exterior views are very important as well and often influence the interior as well. Most apartment living rooms are small and not always part of an open floor plan. This demands for a different approach when decorating them.
Here’s an example of a quite small living room, in a studio. The lack of space resulted in the need for combining different functions and so this living room also became an office while on the other side of the room seems to be a large bed. The wide windows let in natural sunlight and this makes the room feel bright even though it doesn’t change its dimensions.
Even though it’s not particularly large and spacious, this living room manages to stay fresh and dynamic. It features an interesting combination of colors and lots of accent pieces featuring bold patterns. They include the pillows but also the rug and all the artwork on the wall.
This is another case of living room/office. In this case the two functions are clearly separated but they also come together to form a harmonious whole. It’s an internal distribution similar to open plans where living rooms and kitchens often interfere with each other.
This is a demi-detached living room that is partially connected to the kitchen but still well-delimitated. It features a neutral and relaxing background with warm colors, shades of beige and brown but also with bold pink accents. The transition from neutral to pink is made through a series of dark violet elements.
Even though this living room only has one window and it’s not even a large one either, it still manages to stay bright and airy. It’s mostly because of the color palette based on white and black, a timeless and element contrast. A few golden accents add a little spark to the room.
This living room was formerly a bedroom. It was transformed and changed its function but preserved its charm and coziness. There are lots of subtle but interesting details in this room. For example, the rug is placed diagonally and it features an interesting twist. Also, the artwork is unusual and eye-catching.
Since this living room is of very small dimensions, the décor had to be as simple as possible to allow the atmosphere to remain airy and the room to not feel cluttered. Only a sofa and a coffee table were included as main furniture pieces. The transparent glass top of the table gives a sense of openness.
As we’ve already mentioned, the location and the views are very important in a décor and they often become a part of it. In this case, the panoramic views of the city provide a very beautiful background for the simple, neutral and modern interior décor of the living room.
In this living room, the soft gray sofa contrasts with the bold graphic lines of the black and white zig-zag rug. At the same time, it softens its effect and provides a focal point of its own in the form of colorful patterned accent pillows. The mirrored coffee table is also a very eye-catching detail.
