Living room inspirations that are more than simple

The living room isn’t called the living room for nothing. Aside from the bathroom and kitchen, it’s usually the most used room (by most people). From movie nights to homework, from holiday gatherings to LEGO building, there’s no better place to settle down for some much-needed together time. And for all of these reasons, the living room can also go from being a fabulous space to being purely utilitarian so quickly. That’s totally understandable, of course, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We’ve got you covered if you’re looking for living room inspiration that doesn’t require a complete overhaul.

Whether it’s floating shelves, chic storage options, or a few well-placed lighting options, these are some quick changes that make a big impact. Sometimes the smallest elements can transform your entire space. And they don’t have to cost a fortune, either. These living room inspiration ideas are almost certain to do just that. Read on to see our picks!
