12 Living Room Design Ideas

Living rooms designs could change “style” just with right paint color, some accents, lighting or just re-arrange furniture

Just remember sometimes you will find a design that you really like only to discover one major flaw that you can not live with everyday and then you begin looking from the start again. Then you get confused and start looking at other styles that don’t fit your home just because you have grown tired of searching. The living room is a place which most of the time is designed by the explicit taste of the person who spends most of their time in it. That is why it is a lot harder to choose a “perfect design” for your living room, unlike the other rooms in your house.

The living room designs in this collection differ in a lot of things such as the interior design style which you can find under names such as traditional, transitional, contemporary, rustic, modern, industrial, Mediterranean and many others, room size as well as color and accents.

We know we probably can’t hit the exact style and design that you are looking for, but in order to make your search a tiny bit easier, we have present this collection of 12 Living Room Designs For Any Home in which we have thrown in various living room designs that will fit almost any home.

Today… The Industrial Style

Today the industrial style that stems from those creative living spaces has caught on with more people than just loft dwellers.

Whether you have a more modern or vintage approach, industrial elements can add an edge to your home.

A foundation home, exposed beams, brick, metal and other construction elements, can also serve as the inspiration for this style .

Concrete: Concrete was widely utilized in old factories, mills and workshops for both flooring and structural work. Because of its strength, low cost and durability, this material worked well in 19th-century industrial factories.

Mechanical systems: HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems were often left exposed in these old industrial factories. Since the spaces were purely functional, there was little need to hide the building’s structural elements.

Reclaim wood: The wood on old factory floors and furnishings suffered some serious wear and tear from its rough surroundings. Many factories-turned-industrial-lofts are prized for the rich patina that’s developed on the wood, adding warmth and nostalgia to the space.

Re-Furnishings:  Gears, mechanical devices, work pieces, valves, gears, tile and hardware are just a few of the nonstructural elements salvaged from old factories. Their robust construction makes for incredible, creative furnishing opportunities.

The cleaner the lines, the closer to the industrial look.

Steel: Industrial factories and mills had steel columns, beams and trusses. As with the exposed building systems, there was little reason to cover up these structural necessities.

Exposed walls: Fired clay brick has been used as a building material for hundreds of years in the United States. This carefully crafted structural element is known for its durability and longevity, so it adorned many of the country’s first factories.

Electrical Fixtures: Industrial pendant fixtures with porcelain enameled shades, cast aluminum bulb cages, and steel or ribbed glass shades were just one of the popular lighting types that illuminated the old factories.

Create “Overlay concept”, new interior design trend

Time for a lift as the summer begins and new life to your home.  The idea of refreshing your home with new decorating ideas, could be challenging. But you can’t always buy new furniture or create an entirely new layout for a room. Overlay concept start with texture, colors and materials to change “the design” in every room of your home. There are many ways to  overlay a space with a few key adjustments. Here are some of “overlay concepts” to create good flow in your home.

What are you looking at?

Establishing a focal point within a seating area is a great way to give structure to a room. Fireplaces or TVs are perfect points to focus on and around which to create a gathering place –but be sure to choose just one! This gives the eye a place to settle, relaxing one’s gaze rather than causing it to jump around the room. This also helps direct the flow of the room, as seating and other furniture can be arranged around this point, simplifying the decorating process, and allowing ease of movement.

Reflection

Interior design ideas

SCM Design Group

Adding a mirror to a room is a great way to open up a space that may feel small or dark. Mirrored surfaces reflect light, and that reflection creates the illusion of more depth. This means a brighter space that feels larger! For a smaller wall, a round mirror with a detailed frame is a perfect option. But if you have the wall space, a gallery mirror is just the thing to really open up a room!

Tidy up your home, beginning with the front door, in! Creating a smooth and clear entryway translates into good energy flow throughout your interior. A principle of Feng Shui, it creates a precedence of serenity from the moment you walk into your house, clearing the mind and allowing you to take a moment to pause and relax when you enter your home. When an entryway is clear it peacefully moves you into the rest of your home and encourages clean, clutter-free spaces throughout the resulting rooms.

Colors and more colors.. don’t match it… overlay!

Painting a wall the same palette color as the couch, table, or chair that sits in front of it. When your furniture flows the color of your walls, it will visually fade into the wall and create the illusion of a more open space. This works best with neutrals, like whites or grays, which offer a clean backdrop for the rest of the room. Simple furniture shapes and structures also work best with this mode of decorating. Adding pops of color in nearby flowers or frames personalizes the area without requiring a huge statement piece that overwhelms a small space.

You can accent your floors.

A new rug is a perfect way to refresh a room! Rugs have a natural way of giving framework to the space they’re in, and all the more-so when it’s a large area rug. They offer an anchoring point for furniture, adding more definition for decorating; they section off areas of the floor to create a natural order. This definition not only helps during the actual decorating or rearranging process, but once complete, our eyes read that change in material or color as a boundary, defining areas as separate spaces. Using patterns and colors in a rug can be another anchor, influencing the room’s overall color palette.

Amazing Home Makeovers

Freshen Up Your Powder Room

The Woodlands Remodeling Services

SCM Design Group

The trick is to turn the challenges of designing a powder room — the small size, the all-too-common lack of windows — into opportunities. Use the space to display art that is better viewed at close range, to experiment with layered lighting, or to hang a striking antique mirror. Most importantly — make a statement. “Nothing makes guests feel more pampered than a stylish powder room.” – SCM Design group

The Rules of Bathroom Remodeling

You don’t need size to have style. Powder rooms are the perfect example. Because they are used only briefly, they are the ideal stages for dramatic special effects that will wow your guests as they freshen up. And their small scale allows you to indulge in luxury materials and bold effects that you might not dare otherwise—whether a rich paint color, flamboyant wallpaper, or intricate mosaic tiles.

Before you embark on a bathroom renovation, learn the common goals for every project, no matter the budget, style, or location.

Think about your space. Are you planning to update an existing powder room, transform a full bath into a half, or carve out a new spot within an existing floor plan? A larger space may have more design leeway, but in a tiny room, every item must function, fit, and contribute to the aesthetic.

Renovations with Best Return on Investment

www.scm-design.com

The best places to use your home-improvement budget
Fortunately for homeowners, a number of remodeling projects offer the potential for a high return on investment (ROI). According to Remodeling magazine’s annual cost vs. value rep, some of the best renovations are those done on the exterior of the home—siding, window, and door replacements—because they immediately improve a home’s curb appeal.
Beyond curb appeal, certain projects will provide higher returns
Kitchens. Although a kitchen remodel returns only 88 percent, on average, Source: Wells Fargo equity loans. Kitchens are one of the first things that you look at or spend more time in “If you have a house that doesn’t have an updated kitchen the sense of (home) will be diminish,” -HGTV 2013 dream house.-
The cost of a major kitchen remodel varies widely depending on the region. Nonetheless, it’s important not to go overboard, as you don’t want to price your home out of the local market. For example, if you’re in a neighborhood where the average home value is $200,000 and you put in a $50,000 kitchen, you’re out-pricing your house.
A major kitchen redesign may not be a good decision if the space only requires a facelift. “You don’t have to completely gut your kitchen if it’s in good working shape,”,  In many cases, less-drastic updates like refinishing surfaces and cabinets, painting, upgrading appliances, new counter tops and installing new light fixtures will cut it.
Baths. Investing in a bathroom remodel yields a 72 percent return, on average,Source Wells Fargo equity loans but you’ve got to do it right.  Master bathroom with two sinks, custom showers, and great lighting. You’ll turn off buyers if you only put in the minimal amount of work. “A lot of folks, when they buy a home, don’t want to have put a lot of work into it. An outdated bathroom requires a lot of work.”
And sometimes less is more. Giving it new paint, a new toilet, a new shower faucet, and a new [shower]head is probably the best bang for your buck. But that’s assuming the flooring is nice and the walls around the tub and shower are in good standing condition.
Home offices. A number of people work from home, but most don’t need a full-blown office. If you do convert a spare room to an office, opt for removable furniture rather than built-in cabinets. Built-in furniture gives the homeowner fewer options with what they can do with the room,  A home-office remodel recoups only 43 percent, on average.
Sunroom additions. You may recoup a fair amount if you live in a region where the sunroom can be used all four seasons like The Woodlands TX, but in most cases, adding a sunroom will get you nowhere near a dollar-for-dollar return, in terms of recouping costs—a paltry 66 percent. Source: Wells Fargo equity Loans
Remember: What’s popular now changes about every five years—Designers call this “stylistic depreciation”—so consider how much longer you plan to stay in the home before you do any major renovation. Sometimes with a low budget, painting, counter tops and new fixtures will give you better results in terms of Return of Investment ROI, Source: www.twrs-painting.com
