Originally designed to give residents wonderful views of the sky and surrounding nature, sunken living rooms are everything you need for a glamorous home.
You have probably seen retro living rooms that included the ‘sunken’ concept, and now, they are making a comeback!
A sunken living room can make any space look luxurious and sophisticated, especially when you know how to properly decorate it.
From modern to retro designs, sunken living rooms are definitely worth considering.
Here are some ideas that may inspire you to renovate your living room.
1. Spacious And Elegant
With a sunken living room, you will create a lot of space for other stuff like large TVs, art, and lounge chairs.
Add elegant sofas and carpets for a modern and chic touch.
2. Dark With Natural Light
Dark furniture in a sunken living room looks very airy if you add a lot of natural light.
This can be achieved by portals or large windows above the sunken living room.
3. Cozy And Inviting
Add wood, a fireplace, and cozy blankets for the coziest feel.
It really looks like the whole room is hugging you in there. Imagine spending winter evenings in this setting!
4. Natural And Neutral
Go for natural materials like stone and wood for a natural feel.
Also, sticking to a neutral color palette will make your sunken living room look even more elegant.
5. Retro Style
We all remember ’70s movies and the amazing sunken living rooms that the rich characters had.
Use browns and greens for a retro feel which will create a warm and cozy vibe.
6. A Wooden Haven
If you love wood, apply it everywhere – from floors to walls.
This will create a unique look and make the parts of your living room seamlessly blend into each other.
7. All Natural
Would you like to feel as if you were living outside?
Surround yourself with plants and natural materials if you want to feel like you are living in a forest and enjoy the views from your sunken living room.
8. Pure And Airy
For smaller living rooms, try sticking to white and light beige to create an airy and fresh vibe.
9. When Retro Meets Modern Style
Mix retro sofas with modern materials around your sunken living room and enjoy this beautiful and unique blend of old and new.
10. Luxurious Additions
Sunken living rooms are perfect for adding luxurious art, firepits, or unique chandeliers – they simply hug everything around them making it stand out.
11. Coastal Vibes
Sunken living rooms are perfect for coastal villas and small homes that want to look airy and chic.
Relax by the pool all morning and then chill on your sunken living room sofa in the afternoon.
12. Sophisticated Elegance
Create a living room that is centered around your fireplace.
This is a minimalist concept that looks unusual but is very smart and sophisticated.
13. Open Air Living Room
Beach houses usually love using open-air concepts, so why not create a sunken living room outside on the patio where you can enjoy the summer breeze?
Sounds dreamy if you ask me.
14. ’90s Style
Black leather sofas, a sunken living room, and 90’s music playing in the background- sounds like heaven?
