Living Spaces to Linger In

Living rooms, family spaces and open-plan lounges designed for comfort, connection and everyday beauty. From thoughtful furniture layouts and cosy seating to fireplaces, built-ins, lighting, textures and clever TV placement, these are spaces that mak...

The green is what made me stop here. It covers the walls and even the ceiling, yet the room does not feel dark or heavy. The wood adds warmth, the little touches of pink soften everything, and even the TV feels like part of the room instead of taking...
Green, Grounded & Beautifully Lived-In- The Avenue, Muswell Hill

I usually find very dark living rooms a little harsh, but this one gets the balance right. The black wall gives it drama, while the soft sofa, warm wooden ceiling and playful lights stop it from feeling cold. Bold, but still a room where you could ac...
Bold Black Drama, Softened to Perfection

This is such a clever use of a smaller living room. The corner seating makes it feel cosy and meant for conversation, while the television can be hidden away when it is not needed. I also love the wallpaper and the light wooden shelves—they give the ...
Parisian Charm with Clever Hidden Storage

Here, the view almost becomes part of the room. The tall glass walls, open ceiling and greenery outside make the whole space feel light and free. There is very little visual noise, just enough furniture and so much nature. This is the kind of room wh...
A Living Room Framed by the Tropics

The way this room opens into the veranda is what makes it special for me. It feels as though the living space simply continues outdoors. The stone fireplace and wooden beams give it that proper mountain-home feeling, but the large soft sofa keeps it ...
Mountain Living, Inside and Out

I like how one small step changes the entire feeling of this space. The living area is still connected to the rest of the home, but it feels like its own little place to sit, talk and stay for hours. The curved sofa, round table and single blue chair...
The Sunken Lounge Made for Conversation

The ceiling is dramatic, but the rest of the room stays wonderfully quiet. Soft colours, warm beams, large windows and just a little black contrast—it all feels balanced. Even the television has been kept simple, so your eyes still go to the height, ...
Cathedral Ceilings and Quiet Luxury

Those hanging globe lights are the first thing I noticed. They fill the height of the room almost like an art installation, without making it feel crowded. I also like the mix of stone, wood and open views outside. It is a large space, but somehow it...
Lighting That Turns a Ceiling into Art

This room feels collected rather than newly decorated. The blue and green shades, linen, wood, stone and handmade pieces all seem to belong together naturally. What I love most is that the original wooden ceiling has not been hidden or competed with—...
Midcentury Warmth, Naturally Reimagined
 
Anam Iqbal profile picture
I saved this mainly for the wooden wall flowing into the ceiling. It makes the fireplace and television feel like one complete design instead of separate things placed together. The soft neutral furniture keeps the room from becoming too sharp, and t...
