Room-By-Room Interior Design: Living Rooms

After a long winter indoors, spring invites us to rethink how our homes are adapted to our way of living—and no space is evolving faster than the living room. Once a formal area reserved for guests, today’s living rooms are transforming into versatile hubs that blend family comfort, entertainment, and open-concept flow.

The Benefits of Investing in a Professional Interior Designer

  • Stress Reduction: Redesigning a living room is no easy task. It takes planning, vision, and organization. Investing in a professional interior designer can alleviate the stress of such a complicated process and turn it into a collaborative and imaginative experience.
  • Resourceful: It takes a village to redesign a single room or an entire home. Our interior designers have excellent contacts and relationships with local contractors, so you won’t have to worry about finding reputable businesses for electrical, painting, or construction work.

Interior Design Ideas for Living Rooms

An interior design plan starts with space planning and color selection. Our designers can help you select a color palette that suits your design taste. If you like a more subtle design, we suggest neutral hues so your furnishings and art can take center stage. If you prefer to be bold and mix things up, we can help you play with color imaginatively.

  • Trending: Color drenching a space in vibrant jewel tones, soothing neutrals, or expressive wall coverings are all modern ways people are adding color and texture to their living rooms.

Furniture Sets the Stage

Once you’ve chosen your color palette, selecting custom furniture that is functional and aesthetically pleasing is one of the most important steps. Our designers can walk you through your selections and help you make a wise decision that will bring satisfaction for years.

Accessorize to Your Heart’s Content

Selecting accessories allows you to express your personality with your living room design. Unusual Designs is home to a curated collection of pillows, throws, sculptures, and vases by designer brands such as A&B Homes, CrestviewCurry & Company, and more.

Window Treatments for the Final Touch

Window treatments can either make or break a living room design. Selecting window coverings that complement your chosen interior style will combine the entire look. For example, interior shutters layered with custom drapery is an excellent choice if you gravitate towards a traditional design. On the other hand, if you prefer modern or contemporary, roller shades or mini blinds are well-suited to many types of windows.
