Living Room Sofas For Your Home

A gallery of living room sofas for your home with the above photo showing this living room with a contemporary and comfortable look with the creamy white leather lounge suite is made up of a three seater, a two seater and an arm chair style . The design is highly detailed with the roll tops for head comfort, large silver finished feet and the padded arms of the sofa and chair.

Your living room can be any style, look and feel that suits you and your family and how you live. Family friendly living areas don’t have to be unfashionable. Having lots of soft textures and smooth corners make it a safe area for kids to function in and also to be relaxed and comfortable in. Large throw pillows and big soft rugs will help develop and create this look and feel.

Choosing the right sofa/couch to fit this family styled room is going to depend on the size and shape of your room. If the room has loads of windows and doors, consider an L shape to snuggle into a corner whilst leaving room for single chairs or ottomans to be placed in the room without getting in the way of exits and windows. Sofas that have large reclining aspects to their design are perfect for family rooms as they encourage you to relax and lie on and are great for families to snuggly up together on and watch your favourite movies. Kids and adults love bean bags so even consider one or two of these to pop into a corner ready to be used if extra guests arrive.

This white L shaped sofa above, looks elegant and serene against the back drop of the sea foam colored walls and the light coming through the large windows. The white leather ottoman is a fantastic option for extra seating if needed.

For a more formal living area where you want to have a slightly more formal feel and a sense of occasion about the room, there needs to be consideration about the type of seating arrangement you would use. Again think about the size and shape of the room and what color sofa you would choose to reflect the formal feel of this room. Structured sectional leather sofas in any color exude a formal feel and can be enhanced with colored cushions and big rugs on the floor.

The design of the sofa may be not as relaxed looking as a family room sofa but can still be very comfortable to sit on. Textured or patterned material on sofas also looks great, you could be really dramatic and go with black and white stripes for a really formal look or even an aqua velvet covered sofa for real drama.

Art works, large mirrors and books in a formal room also will help the more structured look you are after as well as gorgeous lamps dotted around the room and stunning feature lighting which will make for a dramatic focal point.

Living Room Ideas With a Fireplace

This stylish contemporary fireplace above is like the epitome of modern living room ideas with a fireplace. The fireplace is like a piece of the furniture and integrates seamlessly in this entertaining space. The flames are magical and are completely mesmerizing.

There is just something very special about any room with a fireplace in it, especially a living room with a fireplace. It is not just the heat that it provides your home that is so wonderful. It is often also the smell, the soft glow of the flames and the wonderful noise of the crackling and spitting of the burning logs, especially if it is a wood fire.

Ever since we have been building houses we have made it an essential element to put in a fireplace of some distinction whether it be the humble small open fire that really doesn’t produce that much heat to the large gas fires that look like something from outer space. Whatever the style or look, the purpose (especially in olden times) was always to heat a room.

Fireplaces have been evolving quickly into many different styles and shapes to suit most homes from the very traditional to the ultra modern. To some people, a fireplace has almost become a fashion statement in their homes.

The natural material of the brick wall combined with the earthy shades in the rest of the room radiate a warm atmosphere to this large room.

This sleek and modern room above has a twist and it has been lifted with the addition of a small fireplace giving the room a warm textured feel.

You will not only find fireplaces in traditional areas like living rooms but you will often now find them in the library, bathrooms, bedrooms and even outside entertaining areas. You have numerous options on what heating source you decide to use as well, whether it is the traditional wood or pellets or you may consider gas as an easy quick option for heating but one that can even replicate the look of an open fire.

This living room space has the wow factor. The fireplace is stunning and fits the room beautifully. The elegant rug on the floor provides a base for the stylish chairs and sofa.

Fireplaces provide an instant focus point for most rooms and depending on the style can give an instant jolt of character to any room. If you have an old, out of date fire surround there are now many options available to you to update and modernize your fireplace to suit your decorating style today.

This living room looks like the heart of this home with the comfy sofas and chairs around the fireplace. Somewhere to put your feet up and relax amongst your treasures.

This room is spacious and light with the large doors and windows looking out to the gardens and beyond. The large fireplace in this living room balances the proportions of the room and makes this large space feel inviting.

This is a beautiful example of a modern fireplace in a contemporary living room setting. It does not dominate the room but fits seamlessly into the space.

Fireplaces are magnets for people when there is one in a room, people generally are drawn to that area. With careful placement of furniture and decor items the room will have an ambiance that is hard to replicate in any other room.

Or perhaps the decor includes lots of nautical themed items and ideas such as ropes and ships in a bottle. Whatever the decor features are, a beach side home or vacation home offers something many other homes never can and thats a sense of peace and tranquility and the sound of the sea (especially in the evening).

Bookcase and Bookshelf Ideas For Living Rooms

Bookshelf Ideas -Modern living room with skylights, sofa and chairs and stunning full length white bookcase

For an example of great bookshelf ideas, take a look at this modern living room with skylights, red sofa and two simple chairs with stunning full length white bookcase and parquet wood flooring.

If you’ve been looking for some decent bookcase and bookshelf ideas for your living room and have pretty much come up empty handed, we understand. Finding a decent selection of bookshelves to choose from your own specific needs can be challenging and often you’ll end up needing to have something custom built to meet your requirements.

Off the shelf (excuse the pun) bookcase styles in many retail outlets are somewhat limited and tend to be more traditional and simple in their style, so as to meet the requirements of most clients, however, if this doesn’t fit with what you want or need, then you’ll probably end up heading down the bespoke route, assuming you can afford the expense that many cabinet makers, and custom build firms charge. (You can probably expect to pay twice the price, or more, for a bespoke built unit that meets your specific measurements, or look and finish when compared to the readily available units from your nearby retail outlet)

Here we present examples of lots of different bookshelves and bookcases for you to navigate through. There are bespoke units and there are simplistic units, but across the board, there should be something to inspire you, something that grabs your attention and says to you ‘pick me’, then all you’ll need to do is wade through the various stores in your area, or online and see whether or not you can find what you’re looking for.
