Welcome to our gallery featuring living rooms designed by top designers from around the world!

Living rooms are an essential part to any house. It can be a place to unwind, play, and enjoy the company of others – or just curl up and read a book.

Certain living rooms may be strictly formal, like the living room in your grandmother’s house that no one is allowed to sit in.

Some living rooms are cozy and inviting while others maintain a stark beauty, like the living room above from the Neoclassical House, designed by Brain Factory.

Regardless of which way your personal tastes may go, we have a living room in this collection to spark ideas for your next project or home.

Several designs showcase fireplaces, others utilize area rugs to bring color or warmth. Some are bright, some are modern, and some are totally out there and eclectic. We’ve covered all of these options and more.

Splashes of color are present in most of the rooms, while others achieve a zen-like calm in the absence of bright colors and textures. Still others rely on delicate details and woodwork to add life to the room.

Please enjoy our extensive gallery of stunning living rooms!
