We’ll focus on the details that make these spaces really shiny and offer tips to help you get there.
Mix color and class. Classically delicious in its approach but colorfully executed, this rich, eclectic formal lounge exudes character and lively energy. A large rug joins the contrasting arrangement.
Bring a bench. Conversational seating arrangements make for a welcoming, sociable arrangement in a formal lounge. Enclose the seat on all four sides without cutting it off from the larger space using a sleek modern bench design.
Soften a square space with a curved sofa. The smooth silhouette will reduce the eye of the invading corners. Add a large ceiling rose and a spherical chandelier to complete the rounded theme.
A frame with an explosion of botanical beauty, like the modern French interior design of this planter. Introduce green accent furniture to enhance Mother Nature’s color palette.
Two front sofas produce a smart but rigid layout. Try softening those edges with two curved sofa alternatives to create a more relaxed setting.
Keep sofa upholstery and spread simple pillows and take a pattern on the floor with a sensationally bold living room rug. Use coffee table decorations such as vases, bowls and decorative trays to increase interest closer to eye level.
Play with light and shadow. This fascinating living room chandelier gets a contrasting black background to draw attention to its delicate detail.
This modern crystal chandelier shines in the sunlight from the casement windows, while an impressive TV wall makes an impressive statement in bold black and gold finishes.
Sunlight and nature. If you are the lucky owner of a double high living room that is flooded with natural light, then use that bright influx to nourish an indoor garden, as well as your soul.
Bring a balance. In this large and luxurious formal lounge, the core lounge is chosen in pale gray, while black drapes and black accent chairs darkly balance the edge.
Space for reflection. White marble wall panels make a luxurious framing for prized artwork, and all are reflected in a mirrored ceiling directly above. Canal tufted sofas gather around the show, peacefully interspersed with indoor plants.
Take it to the top. More of an art installation than a lighting function, these free-form hanging lights float like dim white clouds over an airy living space.
Bring in the outside with side-by-side picture windows and patio doors.
It’s all about the architecture. Whether it’s a fabulous spacious staircase or high-rise windows, let architectural wonders stand out.
Set a stage for good times and good company with a prominent wine preservation wall. Stack bottles up to the ceiling and back with mirrors. Install a thin edge of LED strips to accentuate the result.
Build a multifaceted focal wall. With the TV taking center stage on this focal wall, the modern fireplace is located off-center to avoid possible heat damage to the screen. Built-in bookcases balance the opposite side of the fireplace, while lighted curious cabinets brighten the top volume.
If crystal chandeliers feel too grandiose for your tastes, then consider filling a high ceiling void with a structured sputnik chandelier instead.
Treat double-glazed windows with custom-made ceiling-to-floor drapes. The full-length white drapes in this wonderfully light luxury lounge create a uniform gait across the window wall, almost like a colonnade.
Pockets of pleasure. Lots of furniture gives this formal living room a more inhabited look, where heaps of coffee table books are distracting and a wet bar is available for refreshments.
Growing and concrete. Linen sofas, contemporary artwork and an elongated modern fireplace design a clear layout through this living room, where cool concrete reigns supreme.
Fluted and gilded, this fine interior is lively with texture, reflections and light play.
Hang a mid-century atmosphere with a ceiling-mounted fireplace. These well-shaped fireplaces can be well inserted into corners to produce a comfortable shine where there is no chimney chest.
The ice cream on the cake. Intricate cornices and ceiling decorations introduce elegant scrolls around the border of this neoclassical settlement, like elaborate ice cream on a wedding cake.
Enclosed in wood paneling and gifted with classic statues, this traditional lounge is a picture of great taste.
Arched windows give this aesthetic living room a graceful backdrop against which to lay bold modern furniture.
Just one hero. Let a single colorful accent sing with the rest of the room under shaded tones of gray and black.
Nature and neutrals. With panoramic nature views to color your space, keep furniture peacefully neutral and understated.
Cold blue meets earthy brown accents here, creating a tonal balanced decor that feels fresh and comfortable.
Gray splendor. Beautiful furniture is widely spread throughout this large living room to create a chic and airy aesthetic. A flute chimney threads an attractive texture around a grand modern fireplace.
Speaking of grand fireplace walls, a stunning stone layout is the star of the show in this luxurious rustic lounge.
This fascinating fireplace wall makes a darkly reflective vertical plane for double-height windows and excellent modern chandelier.
It’s all about the bows. From chic arched windows to an inverted flute ceiling, this cool living room has curves in all the right places.
This arched festooned interior is accompanied by equally curved living room furniture and floor lamps. See more ideas for using arches indoors.
The expert library aspect. Think of built-in bookcases from floor to ceiling and atmospheric mood light.
Natural rugs and exposed wooden roofs come together to make a comfortable scene with a rustic touch.
Play to the best of your ability. Impossibly high TV wall gets care with grand wood panel treatment.
Tall and powerful. Pull your eye up in a high-ceilinged living room with great artwork, high panel molding and large lamps.
Take away the harshness of industrial settlements by introducing formal carpeting, large-scale wall art, and healthy pepper from indoor plants.
Be inspired by your favorite artwork. This wall art inspires a high-end color palette of deep blue, beige, gray and gold. Gallery white expanses provide breathing space between.
Delightful red accents. Whether it’s a single red accent sofa or chair, a red side table of light carpet, red is a color that is sure to brighten up and enliven any room it graces.
Well rounded and botanically inspired. Botany is all about curves and segmentation, so why not complete an abundant garden view with furniture and stucco treatments that take advantage of the deep beauty of nature.
Rich color contrast. Burnt-out umbrella accent chairs, scattered cushions and a unique modern chandelier add color and bold character to a formal living room with a classic suit and fresh stone details.
Another burnt shadow sang home interior, this time with the artistic undertones of modern 3D wall art and classical sculpture.
Old elegance meets new ideals. Twin tufted back chairs embody a traditional, majestic feel in this lounge arrangement, which gracefully contrasts with the harder lines of a modern sofa. LED circular chandeliers brightly reflect the simple round outline of a luxurious marble coffee table.
Floating features. Wall panels float in front of arched windows, a classic ceiling soaks from the edges of the room to reveal perimeter light, and gold disco pendants seem to rise above this unique formal hall.
Another fabulous floating feature, this golden sculptural chandelier commands the stage.
Purple perfection. This tailored formal lounge design features a custom bookcase wall and smart server. However, it is the elegant purple accent furniture that really fills.
Black and gold glamor stands out strikingly and timelessly.
Opposites attract. Blue and orange might be the opposite of each other on the color wheel, but they come together to make a glorious effect in a modern living room decorating scheme. Orange adds warmth while blue brings feelings of calm. See more ideas for blue lounges.
