The large living room – a space so grand that it almost whispers ”I was designed for your lavish lifestyle… or at least make you think you have one.”
Whether you’re hosting a party for 50 people or just lying like a starfish in the center of the floor, a big living room is the ultimate flex.
It’s where furniture isn’t just placed, it’s curated like an art gallery, where the distance between the sofa and the TV becomes a mild cardio workout!
But hey, if you’re lucky enough to have a living room the size of a football stadium, the possibilities are endless!
So let’s dive into how to make that vast space feel cozy, chic, and maybe a little less like an airport terminal!
1. Big Tall Fireplace
There’s nothing like a big fireplace to make your large living room cozy and snug! With a large or tall fireplace, you’ll have a focal point of the room and it can be just the thing you were missing!
2. Offer Different Seating
In a large living room, it would be best to offer lots of seating space, because you’d like to make your friends and family feel welcome!
Who’s going to stay in a place where they don’t have a comfortable place to sit?
3. Large Plants to Fill Up the Space
After you’re done decorating you notice something’s missing! There are so many awkward corners that are just sitting there empty!
A large plant will fill up that space nicely and it will bring some warmth into the space!
4. Keep It Minimalistic
You might be inclined to over-decorate your large living room to fill up the space, but with a couple of intentional furniture pieces, your living room will look full with minimal decor!
5. Mix Vintage with Modern
We love to see a good blend of vintage and modern styles and this living room perfectly captures the timeless charm of a bygone era while still remaining chic and stylish!
6. Large Sectional Sofa
Instead of going for a three-seater and a two-seater, a large sectional sofa will do a great job of filling up the space and defining it!
Apart from that, a large sectional looks much more modern than a set of couches!
7. Intricate Chandelier
If your space is tall, the best way to decorate it is to add an intricate chandelier! It will make the space feel less empty, even though you have used tons of floor space!
8. Accent Wall
A large space is hard to define, but one way you can do that is with an accent wall! Depending on what you do, an accent wall can change the whole vibe of your living room, so choose carefully!
9. Large Decor
Go big or go home! Large decor pieces just make sense for large living rooms! From large plants to large pots! Get everything in a large size and you’ll feel like a tiny person!
10. Details Details Details
You might think that it will take you ages to decorate your vast living room, but everything is in the details! Like the partitions we have in the picture and the area rug that defines the space!
11. Symmetry Is Key
When working with a large space, we can often forget the bigger picture since our eyes can’t catch it all!
Make sure to keep your space symmetrical if you want a sleek and sophisticated finish!
12. Let It Shine
If a large space is dark, you’ll feel like you’re living in a bottomless cave! Make sure that you’re letting in lots of natural light so the space feels fresh and airy!
13. Two Seating Areas
When you have a long living room it can be hard to use up all of the space, so why not create two seating areas? They’ll be great for parties and family events!
14. Multipurpose Space
If you don’t quite know what you’d like to do with all the extra space, create a dining space or an office nook somewhere in your large living room!
15. Huge Artwork
We have talked about large decor pieces, and a large piece of artwork on your wall is no exception! It will draw the eye and balance out the space!
16. Don’t Get Rid of the Beams!
Beams add tons of visual interest to the space and if you have high ceilings, they do a great job of filling out the space!
17. Stick to Neutrals
Too many different colors in a large space can become hectic and wild, so your best bet is to stick with neutrals and enjoy your earthy living room!
18. A Big Window Wall
We said that bringing in light is very important for large living rooms, but a window wall will take it to the next level! It’s an interesting thing to have in your home that will make you closer to nature!
19. Black Moody Living Room
We often avoid using darker colors in most spaces because we don’t want them to feel small and cramped, but a large living room is the perfect space to use this daring color!
You know the space won’t be cramped, but stylish and sophisticated!
20. Plush Area Rug
Large spaces can often come across as uninviting and cold, so we’d like to strive to make our living room as cozy and inviting as possible!
Apart from using warmer tones as accents, this living room has a soft and fluffy area rug that nicely defines the space but also brings in coziness!
