Bonjour and welcome to our gallery of beautiful elegant living room designs…we hope you enjoy them!
Living rooms come in many different styles and sizes. The heart of your living room beats with the seasons of life. It serves many different purposes depending on the time of day, the season in the year, and where you are in your life. In considering elegant living room designs, remember that no matter how elegant a living room is, it needs to be lived in as well…which is totally compatible as you will notice from the photos of the elegant living room designs we selected for you below.
One afternoon your living room is a place to relax quietly with a tea and a book and one evening it is a place to cozy up with the love of your life. On the weekend, it may be buzzing with friends sharing fun and memories with delicious food and wine or on family night, the board game pieces are spread all over the floor. The living room also rhymes with the seasons – on a cold winter afternoon, it may be the warm place where you cuddle up with your grandchildren and re-watch the old cartoons that made their parents laugh out loud. All of these life moments happen in the same room so in thinking about elegant living room designs that may work for you, it’s important to think about the cherished moments you will be sharing in your living room and make sure it will live up to it!
So join us and let’s visit with the 21 beautifully elegant living room designs we hand-picked for you. We hope you enjoy them and if it helps you spark one idea to spread love in your own living room, you’ll have made our day…beautiful day to you!

3. Siesta on our Méridiennes in the Middle of the Day…
The little Plus: a lot of elegant living room designs don’t have carpets but in this case the owner wanted their cake and eat it too…so instead of adding a carpet, they framed a carpet area in the center of living room hardwood floor showcasing the two beautiful méridiennes chaise longue (“long chair”).
4. Rustic Coziness…

The little Plus: the stone accent wall and its built-in fireplace…definitely the star of the show. And did you notice how the flat-screen TV is cleverly hidden behind a four-door frame above the mantel?
