A light-filled living room is a joy to spend time in as a family and with friends. Add a powerful connection to the outdoors and it's a place that you may never want to leave. These 40 light-filled living room designs demonstrate how to style bright and airy spaces to be homely and welcoming. This collection also delivers inspiration on how best to arrange fenestration and courtyards to make the most of natural light and landscaping. With a backdrop of natural greenery, it's helpful to see the effects that the panorama has on the interior palette and how silhouettes can be either emboldened or lost against the lush vista.
A U-shaped courtyard causes this light-filled living room to be wrapped by nature on three full sides. Black window frames strongly segment the green panorama, making a gallery of vertical vistas.
Floor-to-ceiling windows completely melt away the boundary between the living room and garden. Here, a stark black fireplace descends from the ceiling line to create a striking silhouette against the lush green backdrop, A thin, metal-framed console unit lightly underlines the starring view.

In this example of minimalist living from the iconic Farnsworth house, furniture is placed sparsely to allow the green landscape to rule the scene.
Facing glass walls envelop a living room with evenly mesmerising views. These walls can be opened up with bifold or sliding glass doors to create a blissful through-breeze in hot climates.
With Mother Nature tapping at the window, it's only polite to invite her indoors. Include a mature indoor plant within the living room to create a tangible connection with the garden.
Place a round coffee table at the heart of your living room for all other items to orbit. The eye will move outward from the focal piece, layer by layer, falling first upon the surrounding furniture and finally settling on the view.
Extend windows all the way to the top of a double height living room to take advantage of every possible drop of incoming light. Whether you'll close them or not, sheer drapes will lightly frame the view and create visual drama.
Fashion your own waterfront. If you don't live by a lake or the coast, you can still have a waterfront home with the addition of a pool that runs right by the living room window.
In this large wabi sabi interior, light falls only upon key pieces in the living room to create a moody aesthetic. The beautiful imperfections of the lounge furniture make an ideal companion for a wild forest behind.
