24 Apartment Living Room Decor Ideas!
1. Arch lamp
I think these arch lamps are getting more popular because I’ve been seeing them all over Pinterest lately. They are so different and add a cool geometrical aspect to a room while being perfect lighting for curling up with a book.
2. Circular coffee table
Coffee tables are a must in the living room so you have a place to set your coffee down, or takeout when it’s movie night. I also think this living room is super chic in general and has a nice blend or pinks and whites!
3. Living room gallery
I am obsessed with how these home gallery look! It’s just such a fun way to personalize your space with art and prints you think are unique and cool. It’s like creating a Pinterest mood board, only for your wall!
4. Plant hangers
As hard as it is to be a plant mom sometimes, plants add a vibrancy into a space like nothing else can. They not only improve the air quality, but it’s good for us to live amid some leafy friends!
5. Neutral chic
I love these gorgeous, moody-looking living rooms. The rattan textures of the chairs play beautifully with the canvas on the wall, and the muted color palette.
6. Add corner floating shelves
Floating shelves create the space to display decor, books and other artifacts that make the space feel more like you! I loved this idea of cornering the floating shelves because it creates a cozy corned dimension to the room that ordinary floating shelves wouldn’t.
7. Expand your space with a floor mirror
Mirrors work really well in living rooms because the reflection makes the room look SO MUCH bigger. Even if you don’t have much living room space to work with, full length mirrors will give the appearance that the room is twice the size.
8. Colored couch
If you’re looking to create a living room with a little bit of character, I would make a colorful couch the focal point and then base color palette around it. This bright living room is simplistic and so pretty because of the feminine color scheme and minimal decor.
9. Turn your living room into a reading sanctuary
One of my main priorities in building my living room was making sure it was a place I could get comfy with an good book. I love the idea of creating a little reading nook or adding interesting bookshelves to make my living room the perfect reading sanctuary!
10. Greys and corduroy
If you’re not crazy about wild colors, then you can always choose a neutral color palette like this one. This living room is still so calming and cozy!
11. Livin up the room with more plants + unique plant stand
If you have the living room space to accommodate it (and you love collecting plants) then you should consider getting a unique plant stand like this ladder stand! It’s an interesting shelving option that creates more surface area for your decor, books and more.
12. White shelves against white wall
I chose to include this living room because I loved the white shelving against the white walls. I think it looks so clean and it allows for the pops of color in the books to catch the eye.
13. Accent wall
This living room has a lot going on, but still maintains a bohemian elegance to it. I admire this living room because of the color choice and the decision to paint a wall the dark turquoise color. If you don’t want four walls of the same color, you can always paint or wallpaper an accent wall to add some variance to it.
14. Sheer curtains to optimize natural light
Letting natural light flood in through your windows can add so much beauty to a room, especially if you have light colored walls to reflect the light. Purchasing sheer curtains can allow the natural light to shine through while still providing some privacy when need be!
15. Wallpaper the ceiling
Do you love the way wallpaper looks but feel hesitant to put it on your walls in fear that it would make the room too busy? Then consider pasting the wallpaper to the ceiling instead! In the living room above, it’s literally the finishing touch that ties this whole living room together.
16. Create a vintage feel
I have always been a fan of old restored homes!
17. Hexagonal shelving
I’m a fan of floating shelves in general because they’re so much airier than standard shelving, but I am especially a fan of these honeycomb shelves! What cool and geometric way to add more space to add plants, decor and books to personalize your space even more!
18. Layer rugs and carpet
Regardless of if your living room floor is carpeted, hard wood, vinyl or tile, rugs can make a huge difference in the look and feel of your room.
19. Uniform wall art
Wall art can change the entire look and feel of your room. If you have an open wall above your couch consider adding three or four framed art pieces like these cacti in the pin above!
20. Blissful boho
I love a good boho-inspired living space! Check out the wallpaper-accented wall and how the colors create a warm and artsy ambiance all throughout the room.
21. Vary the textures
Another tip for creating a cohesive living room look is by mixing and matching a variety of textures to add visual appeal to your space. Notice how the pattern on the rug plays against the solid elements of the sofa and cabinets. Then the pillows add a bit of fun along with the art along the walls and splash of earthiness from the plants.
22. Add lots of seating options
Another way to add a sophisticated chicness to your living room space is by choosing a variety of seating options that mesh well together. In this living room space, the mix of colors and textures blend together seamlessly to create a charming and farmhouse-y aesthetic throughout.
23. Pops of color
When designing a living room, the couch and rug tend to play a big factor in setting the mood of your space. If you’re in the market for a new couch (and you don’t have dogs or kids), white is a gorgeous choice because you can add colorful throw pillows to spice things up.
I love the orange and pink motif throughout this room, and how the strategically placed pops of color in the pillows, wall art and flowers tie the whole space together!
24. Balance the light and dark elements
Here is a stunning living room that strikes the perfect balance between the light walls and the slightly masculine furniture within. I love the shelving along the wall that offers the perfect space for books, movies and games.
