Living rooms serve many purposes – entertaining guests, relaxing after a long day, and enjoying the occasional meal of take-out (your secret is safe with us). While today’s spaces don’t tend to be as formal as the sitting rooms of decades past, it’s still important for these rooms to reflect style, personality, and a sense of home.

This living room manages to combine the best of down-to-earth style with gritty industrial flair. Natural materials such as wood, stone, and leather look perfectly juxtaposed against tough metallic accents and modern silhouettes. – Zoe

Taking what you love and making it work is what eclectic style is all about. Layering on textures and patterns makes a space so attainable and organic. This living room features faux fur, velvet, wicker, and woven accents in a neutral palette with a blend of prints. – Jessica
Organic & Rustic
When you play with a neutral color palette, it’s easy to mix styles for a look that’s cohesive and modern. Flank a nailhead trim sofa with wood-framed arm chairs and accessorize with feminine details. – Kalee
Earthy & Chic
I love Southwest-inspired eclecticism, and this living room achieves exactly the balance of styles I’m drawn to. Muted tones and natural wood pieces keep the space feeling down-to-earth, while a mix of Mid-century, industrial, and Southwestern designs come together for a delightfully dynamic look. – Zoe
Traditional & Personalized
This space has such an authentic, personalized feel. Start with classic sofas and accent tables, then make it yours with colorful wall art, mix-and-match patterned textiles, and eye-catching lighting. – Layne
Rustic & Industrial
I love the mix of rugged and refined in this space. The cowhide rug, rich wood finishes, and faded gray upholstery are decidedly western, while modern shapes, clean lines, and pops of white keep it light and on-trend. – Tara
Cozy & Scandinavian
Scandinavian style is my favorite, so I was immediately drawn to this imagined space. The chunky knits mixed with a muted color scheme, mid-century key pieces, and greenery make this the ultimate cozy and stylish living room. – Jessica
