Mostly Monochromatic

The monochromatic color palette of whites, greys, and blacks can create a timeless color scheme that is anything but dull. Working with those colors in different textures, materials, and finishes can create a dynamic room that can convey a range of tones spreading from sleek and modern to homey and cozy.

Bold Choices

Neutral colored furniture typically dominate living rooms since those colors are so easy to pair with. However, you can create bold style when you choose at least one colored piece of furniture like this blue sofa. To tie it into the rest of the room's color palette, look for other areas to incorporate that color, such as within the rug's non-primary color, in lamps, books, and other accents.

Variation is the Spice of Living Rooms

Once again, this room showcases how a colorful couch can create a stunning statement. This room takes that one step further and displays how using various shades of yellow and gold can compliment the room even more. Notice how yellow is incorporated in the sofa, rug, and wall art as a mustard yellow, but then other shades that are reminiscent of gold are used in the pillows, wall art, lamp, and so on. Those aren't even the only shades of yellow, and you can see how you can utilize various shades of the same color to add style to your living room.

Soothing Shapes

The shapes of your furniture and decor have a bigger impact on the room's tone than you think. For example, look at this living room that uses soft, circular shapes in the rug, pouf, wall art, and pottery. Aside from these obvious areas, the room rarely uses sharp lines as it has rounded edges on the pillows and side chair. When decorating and furnishing your living room, don't underestimate the power of soft, rounded shapes.

Natural Materials

This living room shows off a variety of natural materials through its use of wood, rattan, yarn, stone,leather, and other elements. You have options in terms of how far to take that style, but as you can see, using natural materials can create a whimsical modern boho style or can be tempered to fit other styles like rustic cabins, beachy seasides, and so on.

Subtle Connections

The marble fireplace is clearly the focal point of this room, and that's the case in many living rooms. Whatever your fireplace's finish is, try to connect it to other elements in your living room in subtle ways. This fireplace uses straight lines and mirrored effects to create a subtle triangular shape in the middle, which parallels the use of triangles in the rug and pillows throughout the living room.

Layers of Design

Although the rug in this room is one unified rug designed to be a unique shape, you can also accomplish this look by using more than one rug atop one another. For a neat, tidy appearance, layer two rugs that are the same shape on top of one another and perhaps use one that is a more solid, basic layer on the top or bottom. For a more eclectic, contemporary design, consider using two different shapes, different patterns, and an asymmetrical layout to create your unique style.

Tribal Tastes

Tribal patterns can create really chic, cute living rooms. In this room, the use of tribal prints on the pillows and rug is further complemented by the inclusion of leather, natural wood, and metals. To create a tribal aesthetic that feels very chic and modern, use straightforward designs in a subdued color palette and add in an unexpected pop of color through brown tones, wood, and other accents.

Consistency is Key

Although it's often wise to use the same color throughout different areas of the room, you can also choose to have that color show up one time to be that unexpected pop. In this room, the purple only shows up in the rug, not in the wall art, furniture, or pillows. However, even though the purple is only present here, the rug still ties into the rest of the room through the use of white, yellow, and grey elsewhere. When doing this with a rug, be sure there's some sort of connection to the rest of the room, even if it's just similar style or one similar color.

Windowed Rooms

The combination of modern and traditional styles is formally called "transitional style." This room masterfully shows that style by using a traditional color scheme and rug along with a modern sofa and use of plants. When you're creating your style, don't be afraid to look at examples of your favorite style and study elements like furniture, rug patterns, color scheme, and so on to gather ideas of how you can blend your styles into one unified vision.

Soothing Symmetry

Symmetry is often used in traditional styles, but it can also serve to elevate modern and elegant styles. This cute living room is nearly identical from side to side with the curtains, lamps, pillows, mirror, and rug. If you're satisfied with perfect symmetry, you can leave it at that, or you can subtly create asymmetry through a blanket on one side of the sofa, an additional accent on a side table, or some other small detail.

Oversized Style

Playing with the scale of each item is a fun way to add dimension and drama to your cute living room. In this case, the pillows, base rug, and plant are much larger than the sofa and the artwork behind it. However, because there are so many items oversized, it comes across as an intentional style choice and not an oversight. When you play with proportion, be sure to do it purposefully to convey it's a stylistic choice and not a blunder.

Fantastic Floor Plans

When you're creating a cute living room, it's important to consider what you put into the room and how you put it there. For example, the rug of this living room is placed very intentionally in front of the seats as opposed to under their front legs or further beneath them. This allows the floor beneath the rug ot shine and makes the seats feel distinct from the rug. There are benefits to different rug placements and layouts, but if nothing else, take this as a lesson to be intentional with where the rug is placed and how its size relates to the furniture.

Textural Tastes

Using various textures throughout the room is a great way to add literal dimension to the room's style. While the frayed pillows and their textures are appealing enough, consider going with a textured rug like this one to really reinforce the look and add practical comfort to your cute living room.

Dark and Light

Light and dark colors naturally balance one another out and create a dramatic style, but you can take it one step further in deciding how to place these pieces throughout the room. This living room gets darker to lighter as you look from the floor to the ceiling, which works perfectly for creating an atmosphere that is both dramatic and comfortable.

Transcendent Style

Oriental and Persian rugs remain some of the most popular styles because of how versatile they are. Not only are they fantastic for traditional styles, but they can also elevate other styles like modern, rustic, boho, and others. When you're looking to add an air of sophistication and class to create a cute living room, consider oriental and persian rugs.

Floor to Ceiling

To create an elegant space, it must feel as if every design choice is intentional. That means that you should look for opportunities in every part of the room to cultivate that classy style. From the ornate rug on the floor to the wall art and statue all the way to the ceiling chandelier, consider each item as a chance to infuse luxurious style into the room.


Cute living rooms come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Whether you're looking to craft a living room that is chic and trendy or a cute spin on modern styles, there are endless possibilities for creating your personal aesthetic. As you go about creating your perfect living room, just remember the importance of intentionality with design and the end goal of creating a room that is a reflection of you.
