My living room is about 20×15. It is a large, open room with hardwood floors. In the middle is a white Oriental rug with a floral design in pastels.
The walls are white, and there is not much furniture. There is a large mural on one wall, but the others are bare.
There are three couches, that are all white. The main theme of my living room, I suppose, is white and wood. There are several large wooden sculptures, some of which are from Africa, and some African instruments near the fireplace.
The fireplace is my favorite part of the room. It has painted white molding and a green marble base. In front of the fireplace is my favorite place to curl up in the winter and read a good book. Read more »
I have two living rooms - one “public”, one “private”. Our front living room is our kids’ room and family friendly living room.
This is where the entertainment center with kid stuff is located. It has the couch with a cover, lots of chairs, including child size chairs.
There are two toy boxes and a kid play table. It is ideal for everyone, since it is right next to our front door. Playmates who come to visit thus don’t have to run through the house to go play.
The carpet is brown and the rest of the room is tile, minimizing clean up for the inevitable messes. This is kid play room crossed with a living room, and it is a room that is very lived in.
We don’t worry about appearance accept to minimize the “hurricane that ripped through” look. The bigger priority is preventing trip hazards.
If buying furniture for this kind of “lived in” room, choose durable, expendable, and easily cleanable. Neutral colors that don’t show stains are a must. Read more »
My living room is about 10ft by 8ft so it’s a fairly large room. It also has a work station since I work from home with a computer and extra phone.
The computer desk is a large desk with a hutch with a glass door and 3 shelves along the side and top.
The whole piece is about 4ft by 3ft. The other furniture in the room is two tan colored chair and a half’s and a love seat also in tan color.
We also have a dark brown wood with iron coffee table that has 3 baskets under it and two light colored end tables.
We also have a console TV, a stereo system, a large and small book shelf, and a shoe rack. Read more »
My living room is yellow and I chose navy, cloth furniture to give it a French feel.
I have two intersecting sofas. Both are large enough for an adult to sleep comfortably on.
I chose them from a local furniture store that I get most of my things from.
Everyone who visits love what I’ve done with my living room.
My mother went with me to pick things out. Whenever my best friend comes over to watch TV and hang out he always falls asleep on it. Read more »
My living room is huge. My house was built in the sixties, so everything is out dated, except my living room. I have a gas fire place, a flat screen plasma, the works.
I have two nice leather chairs, a tan sofa, and a huge coffee table. My mom arranged it, and she does not believe that furniture should ever be lined against a wall, so we have it all diagonal facing the TV.
My mother and I live with my grandmother who LOVES her stuff. So we could not buy anything new. We had to use her old, nasty stuff to decorate. Just like everything in our house, it is old.
I am amazed everyday how good my mom makes it look. If you can stay with a neutral color and match it with other pieces of furniture it looks great. Read more »
My living room is about 12ft by 12ft. The furniture that is in it has either been given to me or I have purchased it. I am not picky about my furniture because it is one of my first apartments and I don’t see the point in spending a lot of money on furniture unless it is for comfort.
There is one off white couch that can seat about three people comfortable. I purchased it in a used furniture store, where in its previously life, it was rented. I am unaware of the brand, but I chose it because it was comfortable, wasn’t ugly (it was plain), and was a good price (about $199).
The color does get dirty easily, but the off white can match just about anything and you can add all sorts of throw pillows to jazz it up. There is also a brown coffee table that was given to me by my sister. It is fake wood, but it gets the job done.
I use it to put my feet up on when I’m sitting on the couch, or to put my lab top on it. I plan to pant it black one day to match the other things in the living room. The TV stand, fish tank stand and book case are all black. Read more »
I have a huge living room. Its is about 200-300 sq feet. I have a striped couch that is about 3-4 meters long. Next to it, there is a chair. Under it is a rug that is beautiful with these lines that make you want to get down on it and roll on it.
We have a 60″ TV on one wall and next to it about 6 feet or 7 feet, there is a fire place that is about 3 feet high.
Then there are some snow men that sing a song that goes like Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of Auld Lang Syne. For Auld Lang Syne, my dear, for Auld Lang Syne, we’ll take a cup of kindness yet for Auld Lang Syne.
And its so funny because when they do so they do this funny dance and it makes you wanna run away. Above that there is a picture about flowers and a rainbow flying over it. Read more »
My living room, as well as my entire one-bedroom apartment, is furnished around the fact that I have two little pug dogs that shed their beige hair a lot!
In order to camophlage this, I have furnished my entire living room in the color beige! Color can be found in the pillows and the wall hangings. In order to read my morning newspaper in comfort, with one pug dog on either side of me, I purchased a large Bergere chair, with a matching ottoman, in beige leather which I found advertised in a newspaper by the well-known department store, Bloomingdale’s.
I had it shipped about 1500 miles. Alongside it there is a metal floor lamp and a small chest made of rattan that I use as a place to put a phone and the coffee cup.
My living room has two sections, each about ten feet long and ten feet wide. One section has the Bergere chair, lamp and chest, along with two beige “easy” chairs. Although the dogs are not allowed on either of these, they are upholstered in a beige cotton material. Read more »
We are a young family. We live in an area that although the cost of living may be considered low compared to the rest of the country, that cost of living is higher than many of the areas of this state.
As a result, we have a small house. Two adults and two kids need to be able to function together peacefully in this space. We have a long living, narrow living room. This is the only space for entertainment, home office, and playroom in the house.
We have a mix of old and new in this space. We have an old pull-out couch. This piece comes in handy when we have guests. It is brown with different tones of brown stripes in a cable pattern.
To prevent too much attention drawn to the cable couch, we’ve covered it with a neutral beige cover. When we don’t have guests, this has become a place for me to do laundry. Read more »
I live in a trailer home so my living room is more long than wide, so when I had to put furniture in it, I had to come up with some creative ideas since I didn’t want to lose my stuff to another room.
My birthday is in October so I have tons of Halloween stuff, and my furniture matches.
Both my couch and my big easy chair are black. All my bookcases are black, of course, and so is my TV stand. The bookcases and stand are the simple do it yourself ones right from Wal-Mart for under 100.00.
I couldn’t tell you where I got my couch and chair from as they were a gift from my mother for my birthday three years back. Read more »
