Inspiration - Living Room
You spend a lot of time in your living room, so it not only needs to look great, but it also needs to be practical, comfortable and perfectly suited for your lifestyle. For many, the living room is the heart of the home and mastering the design of this important space is something that our designers have spent countless hours pondering, ultimately creating stylish living spaces across the full range of modern house design styles. Let’s take a look at some of our favourites and find a design you’ll want to recreate in your new home.
Classic Living Room Design
When it comes to timeless living design, the L-shape design is a wonderful option to create zones for living and dining. This layout sets the kitchen up as the great connector and is perfect for those who love to entertain or those who have a busy household and need to maximise space and functionality. Our most-loved designs which feature an L-shaped living are the San Marino – which also features the home theatre adjacent to the dining, ideally positions for easy snack breaks.
Alternatively, the new Santa Monica offers this L-shaped design with a slight variation, which allows for an even larger island bench for those who love casual meals and a living which flows into the home theatre or an ideal children’s activity space.
If you are looking for a two-storey design the Lancaster, Saxonvale, St. Clair and our much-loved Tulloch offer a similar living design to the single-storey San Marino and Santa Monica with the addition of a thoughtfully designed butler’s pantry, perfectly positioned to hide the mess and clutter from the oversized island out of view from the dining.
Open Plan Living Design
Airy, spacious and practical, open-plan design for living is a popular design choice for the modern home, for its flowing and functional spaces which offer endless flexibility and an abundance of possibilities. Our single storey designs which feature this flowing, open-plan design are the much-loved Havana Encore and the ACT version being the Veuve Executive, or the Anchorage, Miami and the new Retreat which position the living in the centre of the home, creating an expansive, family-friendly space to connect and enjoy home life and entertaining loved ones.
If an expansive open plan living design appeals to you then look no further than these modern two-storey designs which make the most of your block whilst offering accessible and practical open plan living, ideal for busy modern lives. Explore the Bridgetown, Massena, the new Panorama or Valiente, which is now on display at Wongawilli from our NOW Series. These designs share the design features for open plan design with varied kitchen positions offering a broad range of options so that you find your dream home with ease.
