We're all obsessed with bigger rooms and more space, but honestly, having too much can pose its challenges. While bigger sounds better, it's often difficult to fill all that space in a way that looks cohesive and doesn't feel awkward.

Thankfully, we have8 examples of large living rooms (and the styling tips to match) that are sure to help you navigate an oversized space. Take notes and get ready to rearrange some furniture.

A large area rug works to create parameters and visually close off a space, keeping the design from running off into other areas of your home.

02 Go Bold With Your Design

08 Take On the Texture

Elements like greenery, pampas grass, and potted plants, along with textiles like curtains and pillows, paired with natural elements such as wood and concrete have a way of warming up large spaces and preventing them from looking empty or stark. Now pair them all together in a single space and you have yourself a designer-approved living room like this one.
