Modern Home Living Room Design Ideas
No matter what your design style it’s important to always start with a floor plan of your space. That’s the only way to know exactly what will or won’t fit.
The worst thing that can happen is your furniture gets delivered and it’s too large or small. Either of these can be a problem.
Furniture that’s too big will not fit and have to be returned. If the furniture is too small it will be out of proportion and make your space look off.
Avoid this problem by measuring your space and doing a floor plan before you order.
This video will help you transfer your measurements into the Free floor plan program. That way you can visualize exactly what will fit in your space.
Now for the fabulous living room designs that will inspire your next design project.

A chaise sectional is great for those who love to relax in style. You can choose between a left-facing chaise or a right-facing. Remember this is when you are facing the sofa not sitting on it.
All three of these designs feature a neutral color scheme with contemporary artwork. They have a round coffee table so no matter where a person is sitting they’ll have a space to put their drink down.
If you’d like a pop of color in your design add your favorite accent to pillows, accessories, or home decor.

Whether you are looking for a Boho, Modern, or Mid-Century vibe these designs will help get you started.
Mid Century Boho Living Room
This space was designed using the art as a jumping-off point. It pulls together the black, grey, ivory, and orange color scheme.
