Decor & Renovation
3 Living rooms looks to inspire your next revamp
Three spaces, three looks to inspire a living room revamp, plus our product picks to get the look.

Always focused
A chic stone-look tile fireplace surround is the star of the show in this Scandi-style living room. The grey hue provides a grounded focal point.
On display
Floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry is the perfect way to maintain the minimalist look by eliminating the need for sideboards or console tables. Shelving up top creates a great space for showcasing your favourite decor items, and cupboards below store your less visually pleasing stuff.
Sofantastic
Leather or leather-look fabric adds a smooth finish we love in a space like this. Clean lines and the black colour throw in a bit of elegant drama to the room’s aesthetic.

Reasonably rustic
The surface of the natural wood coffee table may be smooth like the modern fireplace and leather sofa, but the stunning centrepiece boasts visual texture and contrast that brings down-to-earth vibes.

Time to define
A rug can be used to create the feeling of a room when there are no walls to do the job. This rug imbues the space with warmth and tex-ture and defines it perfectly.
Final touches
The throws and toss cushions call to other colours in the room and make the space luxuriously livable. And if there’s room for a potted plant, use it—greenery is always in.

Colour your world
Playing with colours and patterns is one way to make a statement. A yellow armchair, burgundy sofa and a playful patterned rug ensure this room’s pizzazz.
See what’s in store
Displaying books and keepsakes in glass-fronted cabinets helps keeps them safe yet visible, and—bonus—reduces how often you need to dust them.
Wonder wall
This fun rustic wood panelling is a nod to the classic groovy ’70s walls you may remember, and placed horizontally, these ones widen the appearance of the room.
On the table
A modern gold frame on the coffee table adds a pleasing hit of glam, and its circular design plays well with all the softer elements in the space.

Green machine
The greenery plays a huge part in the overall aesthetic here, and can be considered the star of the show. Strategically placed near windows, the botanicals truly bring the outdoors in.
High five
Eclectic pieces like the hand-shaped chair are what make this room stand out. This chair’s vibrant red shade complements the other bold pieces in the room.

Line up
Delicate line drawing artwork is tasteful and minimal, and here, it keeps the look cohesive throughout.
Simple storage
A spot for holding books and decor is essential, even in a spare design. This open style option with potted plants placed on top adds height to the scheme, leveling off at the top of the artwork beside it. This makes the room feel grounded and is necessary in a space with such a high ceiling.
Teal feel
A teal ottoman and stool are the splash of vibrant colour that makes this space pop. Placed separately, they pull the look together.

Sitting pretty
A light grey couch with chaise longue extension is the perfect addition to this open space. Here, it creates separation from other areas of the house. A couple of black toss cushions call to the whimsical design on the rug below, and add some sophistication, to boot.
In the clear
A clear glass coffee table keeps sightlines open for an elegant barely-there aesthetic. We love its simple crossed panel design.
High def
A large rug does wonders for defining a room in an open-concept space. This one’s pattern calls to the line drawing on the wall and black accents throughout, including the light fixtures up top.
