There are many ways to design a living room. But if you’re looking for a shortcut to a stylish and comfortable space, take a few cues from this countdown of the most-saved living room photos uploaded to Houzz in 2021. You’ll find approaches that succeed by mixing colors and materials, offering plenty of seating, adding some display space and leaning heavily on a palette of white and wood.
9. Rough and Radiant
Designer Judith Balis created a living room in Eagle, Idaho, that’s both rough and radiant. White walls and a white custom sectional keep the space feeling airy and bright, while reclaimed beams for the ceiling and mantel provide a rugged look that adds character and warmth.

8. Tufted and Pleated Perfection
Rich and refined colors define this Atlanta living room by Amy D Morris Interiors. It also has multiple seating areas, making it an ideal space for conversation. A long, narrow coffee table offers anyone sitting on the nearby velvet sofa a place to rest a drink without blocking foot traffic. The tufted leather ottoman doubles as a coffee table for the nearby armchairs. To complete the elegant scene, floor-to-ceiling pleated curtains perfectly complement the black-framed windows and doors.

7. Brass and Blue Accents
While this Washington, D.C., living room by Amy Bannecker Design has lots of white — walls, fireplace, sofa and area rug — it’s the brass and blue accents that make it sing. Brass curtain rods, lighting and table legs add glitter and glam, while saturated blue pillows and art add a bold splash of color.

6. Entertainer’s Delight
This Atlanta great room by Pineapple House Interior Design is built for entertaining. Before and after dinner at the 14-seat table in back, guests are likely to be drawn to the living area and its pair of large sofas, handsome armchairs and a tufted cocktail ottoman with a modular surface.
Floor-to-ceiling paneled windows and doors overlook a pool area. And custom wood ceiling beams add architectural interest and highlight the grand scale of the room.

5. Shiplap Showstopper
The shiplap-covered built-in is the star of the show in this Chicago living room by Seth Romig Architect. Integrated wood shelves on either side of the TV hold books and other decor. The shelves can be raised or lowered as the owners see fit.
The base of the built-in has a row of cabinets used to keep clutter at bay and store unsightly electrical equipment. The shiplap adds dimension and texture and visually breaks up the large wall.

Rather than trying to hide the black void of the TV in this Denver living room, interior design firm TVL Creative celebrated it with a recessed niche and shiplap siding. Black window frames, ceiling trim and other black details complement the TV, making it feel like part of the design.
A perfectly sized sectional, a pair of leather armchairs and a Moroccan leather ottoman pouf offer style and comfort.
