Take a look and see which styles and layouts appeal to you and have a think about which ones would work in your room. Don't stay in living room limbo when there are so many great alternatives out there!

1. Fun and colourful

What a charming living room. which makes up for petite dimensions with fun bursts of colour and interesting furniture. We love that mirror!

2. Modern and stylish

The dark accents here make for a striking and beautiful space that still feels cosy and comfortable. A huge sofa never also goes amiss if you have the space!

3. Neutral haven

When your whole home has been decorated with a neutral look and feel, your living room should follow suit. The cacophony of creams and natural wood here are perfect.

4. Sociable layout

Most living rooms have a TV, but we love how the furniture here has been arranged with more conversational socialising in mind. Those sofas look so comfy too.

5. Gallery chic

There's something about a monochrome scheme with glass furniture that evokes the feeling of an art gallery. Black cushions and picture frames add some delicious contrast.

6. As funky as you are

If you have a penchant for colour and pattern, you can't go wrong by expressing that in your living room. A bright feature wall, some fabulous cushions and a quirky coffee table are all you need.

7. Traditional charm

What a beautiful room! The bluebell-coloured walls with white woodwork have such a heritage feel, then add in some traditional chairs and you have a timeless and elegant space.

8. Small and sunny

This living room is part of a wider open-plan aesthetic and we love how a simple area rug has been used to denote exactly where the 'living room' is. 

The colour coordinated chairs and cushions are also so well executed.

9. Full of character

When unusual furniture choices are at the top of your living room must-have list, we applaud you!

This velvet Chesterfield sofa looks phenomenal in grey, especially with some bright red bolster cushions and eye-catching wall art.

10. Rustic tones

For a cosy living room, autumnal, rustic colours should be a serious consideration. Just look at how well all the orange and green accents here create a warm and inviting area.

11. Natural tones

It might be the coffee and cream tones, the incredible living room lighting or the large tree that's making this room look so pretty but, as a whole, they are unbeatable.

What a stylishly pared back space.

12. Make a statement

Wall decals are so popular now and with custom designs being so easy to create, why not think about havign your life mantra or a favourite quote up on your wall?

13. Dark and delightful

This living room is amazing as it has made such great use of darker colours and natural materials. The fireplace sets the moody tone and those velvet sofas are gorgeous!

14. Simple and sweet

We love how put together this living room looks. With some pretty pink accents and a sociable sofa layout, there's a happy, comfortable vibe here.

15. Textile heaven

All the rugged (almost rustic) textiles here certainly create an amazingly welcoming living room and we love how well everything works with the huge amount of natural wood.

16. A view instead of a TV

Can't you just picture how lovely it must be to enjoy some relaxation here? With no TV as a distraction, it's all about the view of the garden and that amazing fire!

17. Living in luxury

Fluffy rugs, chandeliers and suede sofas all come together to create a soft and luxurious space that must excite the senses and relax the body.
