Over the Rainbow

Don’t show these living room decor ideas to exposed brick purists. While the brick can still be seen in this design, its natural finish is hidden behind what looks like a combination of urban murals and urban graffiti. Perfect for a penthouse or even a basement family room, this design’s use of color is minimal. The accent wall’s rainbow of colors contrasts nicely with white walls, floors, and home furnishings, giving the space a modern and minimalist feel that will appeal to homeowners and designers with those sensibilities. While not for everyone, the living room decorating ideas found in this space provide great inspiration for transforming brick materials into a conversation piece.
A 60s Throwback. One of the hottest design trends in the 1960s was to place curtains along the wall, perhaps to add color or to hide certain items of furniture that homeowners of the time considered unsightly. Bookcases and TVs often hide behind curtains, while furniture with minimal lines kept the attention of guests in the center of the room. Does that sound or look familiar? This set of living room ideas brings them all back, but with a modern twist that leaves the retro 60s color schemes in the past. Crafted as a modern throwback to mid-century American design, this open living room concept uses shear curtains and basic patterns, as well as a central living area, to emphasize conversation among guests.
