With a growing multitude of configurations, coming up with living room layout ideas can feel like a never-ending puzzle, at times. Understanding your space and its function is a great place to start, as this will drive not only your layout, but your choice of furniture, lighting, and finishes too.
Taking the time to consider how you will use the room and how you will move through it on a day-to-day basis will allow you to better visualize your living room ideas, and how the space will work. It’s key to consider where you want to direct the eye to. “You respect and emphasize the focal points of a room. There might not just be one," says Jeremiah Young, owner and creative director of Montana-based studio, Kibler & Kirch. "Direct your major furniture at those focal points and then add one odd or random element to make it more visually interesting."
