Designing a cozy and welcoming living room takes thoughtful planning. As a central space where families spend most of their time, the living room deserves special attention. Creating relaxation zones, arranging furniture to ensure comfort and flow, and selecting carefully curated decor, such as soft rugs, side tables, and family photos, all contribute to a warm atmosphere. With careful planning of lighting, colors, and furnishings, any living room can become a gathering place that makes everyone feel at home.
Clean Lines – Studio Iha Architects, Architect Inbal Haklai Alfandari
“Living room design should combine clean lines, minimalism, and an open, inviting space. Using neutral shades like white, gray, and black with touches of natural materials like wood and concrete creates a balanced, aesthetic look. It’s important to maintain proportion among furniture pieces so that each element is functional and harmonizes with the space without causing clutter. Lighting is essential for creating ambiance in the home, especially in the living room. I enjoy blending hidden lighting with focused lighting to elevate the overall look and foster a warm, relaxed atmosphere.”

Interior Designer Tali Baker: Less is More

The chosen color palette is timeless and elegant, allowing for future updates without compromising harmony.
