'In this small proportioned Georgian drawing room large, slimline mirrors almost fill both alcoves on either side of the fireplace creating the allusion of more space too. 'Mirrors work wonders to create an elegant feeling in a room.' explains Sarah Peake, founder of Studio Peake. This will of course help any sized room feel larger and reflect plenty of lighting around the room. We'd recommend taking notes from this yellow living room designed by Studio Peake and keep them simple in design and big in size. Living room mirrors are such a simple way to add elegance. To recreate this look you’ll need masking tape, a ruler, a spirit level, and a lot of patience!

You can choose bold colorways for a maximalist vibe or keep it simple with neutrals.Īs Russell Loughlan designer and founder of The House on Dolphin Street says, 'Striped wallpaper is a great choice for both contemporary and modern homes with a nod to the traditional, bringing in added color, texture and drama to a space - perfect for feature walls.' Plus, it's a print that can work with so many different styles from uber-modern to country rustic living rooms.

'We wanted to ensure that the TV wasn’t the only focus when not being used so designed the full-height media unit. 'The brief for this room was to create a stylish but comfy place for the whole family to watch television together.' says Saskia Howard, Creative Director at Howark Design. But there are ways to make ugly tech easier on the eyes, as this living room TV idea designed by Howark Design demonstrates. And although we would love to keep our living rooms purely about aesthetics and forgo a massive black rectangle sitting in the middle of it, admittedly TVs are essential in most living rooms.

But since not all of us are blessed with copious amounts of space and lofty ceilings, you often have to create the allusion of loftiness instead.
