9. Stacked-Stone Stunner
Custom cabinetry flanks a stacked-stone fireplace in this cozy Charlotte, North Carolina, living room by Omnia Construction. In addition to offering storage and display space, the dark-stained built-ins provide pleasing contrast with the cream-colored walls and swivel chairs. A leafy sculpture on the adjacent wall creates a secondary focal point and picks up the gleam of the brass nailheads on the tufted sofa as well as other warm metallic accents in the room.

8. Bold Black and White
A soaring coffered ceiling and a wall of windows create a sense of grandeur in this Omaha, Nebraska, living room by Haven Design & Construction. The high contrast between the black custom bookcases and window frames and the light walls and furnishings adds to the effect. While these features and finishing touches of gold and marble might say “grown-ups only,” wood-look tile with under-floor radiant heating ensures the room is durable and comfortable enough to withstand kids and pets too.

7. Compact With Contrast
Designer Debra Garvin of 1st Impressions Design used Houzz ideabooks to update the look of this 162½-square-foot living room in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Light and dark elements (like the newly white window frames and black fireplace mantel) and layers of texture create contrast and visual interest. Meanwhile, multifunctional furniture, a neutral color palette and soft curtains hung high and wide visually expand the relatively snug space.

6. Charm Squared
This Minnesota great room gets a splash of color and pattern from a windowpane-pattern loveseat — an ideal spot for taking in the sparkling lake views. Designed by Kate Regan of The Sitting Room and built by Mark D. Williams Custom Homes, the room has traditional charm enhanced by built-in cabinetry and a coffered ceiling. And when the sun streaming through the south-facing windows is too bright, the homeowners can lower a remote-controlled blind hidden in the bottom of the beam near the window.

5. Wide-Open Spaces
When they’re open, large sliding doors turn the living areas and backyard of this San Diego home by Jackson Design & Remodeling into one large, flowing space with cohesive colors and textures. In the living room, a neutral carpet that blends with the wide-plank floors grounds a plump, inviting charcoal sectional and woven coffee table. Reclaimed-wood ceiling beams add rustic character and help define the zone.

4. Sunshine and Shiplap
Bright white walls and a cathedral ceiling give this sun-filled Atlanta living room an airy, expansive feel. To add texture and interest to the floor-to-ceiling fireplace, Bradford Custom Homes & Remodeling covered it in simple shiplap and added a rustic light wood mantel and stone hearth. A dark-stained coffee table and dimensional rug add more depth and warmth to the space, and green leafy plants and throw pillows provide pops of fresh color.

3. Elemental Design
Wood, earth, water, fire and metal work in harmony in this Minneapolis house by Denali Custom Homes. The living room’s furniture, wide-plank floors, knotty plank ceiling and wood-lined entrance encompass a variety of complementary wood finishes and tones. The fireplace’s center surround is cold-rolled steel flanked by split-face limestone. And the smooth Indian limestone hearth extends to form the base of built-in shelves, which display pottery vessels. But none of this outshines the view of the pool, landscape and sky beyond the room’s expanse of glass.

2. Pillow Talk
The Rancho Mission Viejo, California, home of Pure Salt Interiors co-founder Leigh Lincoln reflects the firm’s signature light, layered, California coastal aesthetic. An oversize sectional couch covered in nubby throw pillows dominates the open floor plan’s living room zone and is grounded by layered jute and vintage rugs. A favorite element is the round ottoman topped by a waterfall overlay made of walnut-finish oak — a smart combination of form and function.

A large area rug grounds the collection of contemporary furniture in this Ryan Street Architects-designed Dallas living room, which also features a beautiful wood-paneled ceiling and oversize blackened steel fireplace surround and hearth. The colorful abstract artwork punches up the earthy black, denim and tan color scheme, and the large potted tree appears to draw the verdant property right into the room.
