Mulholland Drive- Bel Air

Rande Leaman Interior Design

The family room has a long wall of built-in cabinetry as well as floating shelves in a wood tone that coordinates with the floor and fireplace mantle. Wood beams run along the ceiling and wainscoting is an element we carried throughout this room and throughout the house. A dark charcoal gray quartz countertop coordinates with the dark gray tones in the kitchen. The custom fireplace stores firewood. The stairs lead to kids bedrooms and a home office.

Traditional French Living Room- Clifton, VA

Lauren Maroney for Ethan Allen Sterling, VA

The beautiful molding detail in this spacious Formal Living Room called for elegant yet simple furnishings. With European roots and a love to travel, my client wanted this reflected in the room's design. French inspired carved framed chairs with a modern duel fabric application balances out the traditional camel-back sofa with brass nailhead trim detail. Behind, a silver leaf tea table flanked by oversized wing chairs in a gold damask pattern gives this client the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea with friends. Other antique details like artwork inspired by French hotel signage, old envelopes with crest applique in dark wood frames, and collected brass candlesticks complete the look with a vintage yet elegant feel.

Nouvelle vie pour maison de ville

Anne Chemineau - Decor Interieur

Le projet : Une maison de ville en région parisienne, meulière typique des années 30 restée dans son jus et nécessitant des travaux de rénovation pour une mise aux normes tant en matière de confort que d’aménagement afin d’accueillir une jeune famille. Notre solution : Nous avons remis aux normes l’électricité et la plomberie sur l’ensemble de la maison, repensé les volumes dès le rez-de-chaussée. Ainsi nous avons ouvert la cloison entre l’ancienne cuisine et le séjour, permettant ainsi d’obtenir une cuisine fonctionnelle et ouverte sur le séjour avec un îlot repas. Les plafonds de l’espace cuisine et de l’entrée bénéficient d’un faux-plafond qui permet d’optimiser l’éclairage mais aussi d’intégrer une hotte située au dessus de l’îlot central. Nous avons supprimés les anciens carrelages au sol disparates de l’entrée et de la cuisine que nous avons remplacé par des dalles grises mixées avec un carrelage à motifs posé en tapis dans l’entrée et autour de l’îlot. Dans l’entrée, nous avons créé un ensemble menuisé sur mesure qui permet d’intégrer un dressing, des étagères de rangements avec des tiroirs fermés pour les chaussures et une petite banquette. En clin d’oeil aux créations de Charlotte Perriand, nous avons dessiné une bibliothèque suspendue sur mesure dans le salon, à gauche de la cheminée et au dessus des moulures en partie basse. La cage d’escalier autrefois recouverte de liège a retrouvé son éclat et gagné en luminosité grâce à un jeu de peintures en blanc et bleu. A l’étage, nous avons rénové les 3 chambres et la salle de bains sous pente qui bénéficient désormais de la climatisation et d’une isolation sous les rampants. La chambre parentale qui était coupée en deux par un dressing placé entre deux poutres porteuses a bénéficié aussi d’une transformation importante : la petite fenêtre qui était murée dans l’ancien dressing a été remise en service et la chambre a gagné en luminosité et rangements avec une tête de lit et un dressing. Nous avons redonné un bon coup de jeune à la petite salle de bains avec des carrelages blancs à motifs graphiques aux murs et un carrelage au sol en noir et blanc. Le plafond et les rampants isolés et rénovés ont permis l’ajout de spots. Un miroir sur mesure rétro éclairé a trouvé sa place au dessus du meuble double vasque. Enfin, une des deux chambres enfants par laquelle passe le conduit de la cheminée a elle aussi bénéficié d’une menuiserie sur mesure afin d’habiller le conduit tout en y intégrant des rangements ouverts et fermés. Le style : Afin de gagner en luminosité, nous avons privilégié les blancs sur l’ensemble des boiseries et joué avec un camaïeu de bleus et verts présents par petites touches sur l’ensemble des pièces de la maison, ce qui donne une unité au projet. Les murs du séjour sont gris clairs afin de mettre en valeur les différentes boiseries et moulures. Le mobilier et les luminaires sont contemporains et s’intègrent parfaitement à l’architecture ancienne.

Arched Window Treatments

TJ Simone at Ethan Allen Princeton

In this space, we just needed something to dress the window. The client didn't want to open and close them, she just wanted to warm up the room a bit. We decided to accentuate the arched windows by using medallions instead of the rod with brackets you see in most rooms. We created a higher ceiling by taking the drapes all the way up to the crown molding and got to have a little more fun with the fabric pattern and the tassel trim on the inside edge of the drapes.

Living Room Design Photos with Grey Walls and Decorative Wall Panelling

A living room, often referred to as a lounge room in Australia and New Zealand, is the hub of the home. If you only have one living room in the house, it’s likely to serve multiple purposes: be it a place to watch TV, play games, spend quality time with family or hang out with friends. If you have the luxury of two living areas, one is usually a formal living room or lounge room, reserved for reading, relaxing and entertaining. A successful living room design is inviting, has enough seating for the whole clan – a comfortable couch is a must – and encourages conversation. Browse photos on Houzz for living room layouts, furniture and decor, and strike up a conversation with the interior designers or architects of your favourite picks. For even more living room ideas, check out the Stories section on Houzz.

Which living room layouts will work best for you?

Every living area will have design challenges. A long, narrow lounge room, for example, risks looking like a hallway if furniture is lined up against the walls. Instead, opt for small furniture items, like a cosy two-seater couch, and create various focal points throughout the space. In square living rooms, a symmetrical layout encourages a formal setting. Place seating on either side of the room, with a focal point in the middle to pull the room together. For a truly intimate vibe, replace your couch with some occasional chairs positioned around a coffee table or ottoman. This will make the main focus conversation. An open-plan home – one where the lines are blurred between kitchen, dining and living – may require a layout that focuses on definition. You’ll want to make sure furniture doesn’t block the flow between spaces, and instead use something like an area rug to create zones.

How can you decorate your living room?

The living room can be a place in which to show off your personality, but if you want a timeless living room scheme, stick to neutral walls, couches and ottomans. Colour can be added through accessories, and is a lot more interchangeable! Rugs, cushions and throws are great for adding colour, while mirrors, lamps and ceiling lights will set the mood. Make your living room unique by including family heirlooms and photos. For a polished look, try creating a coffee table vignette – you could use books as pedestals or group items together on a tray. Try adding a vase, a mixture of round and rectangular objects and some books.

What are some small living room ideas?

Small living room designs can be tricky to work with, but aren’t doomed to fail. Often, you just have to get creative with furniture. An open-back chaise can create a sense of spaciousness, while small side tables paired together can substitute a coffee table. Even better, an ottoman can be used as a footrest, coffee table or extra seating. Big furniture items like the couch are best kept in light colours, and if there’s room for a coffee table, a glass-top one is best. If you have two spaces in one – perhaps your living room sits in front of a single-wall kitchen – make sure they are connected by decor, colour and style. For definition, just add area rugs, or use your couch as a dividing wall. It’s worth having a few furniture pieces, whether a bookshelf, couch or entertainment unit, in the same colour as the walls, too, so they blend into the room and visually expand the space.

Is open-plan living for you?

Today’s homes often embrace open-plan living, whereby the living room runs off the kitchen and/or dining areas. Open-plan living allows greater functionality, but can risk creating a vast, soulless space if not done right. To avoid a cavernous feel in an open-plan design, define areas with furniture, rugs and lighting, or consider using a wall divider. Also be sure to keep flooring, lighting and materials consistent throughout, for cohesiveness. Noise may be an issue – someone banging pots and pans while you’re watching TV, for example – so include lots of soft furnishings, such as rugs, curtains and couches to help absorb the noise. You will also need to factor in plenty of storage, so mess is kept at bay.
