Living Room Design Photos with a Wood Stove and Beige Floor

Sun drenched opening plan living room with direct access to garden. Eclectic mix of timeless classic pieces mixed with post modern Bauhaus and vintage Danish pieces

This beautiful Cotswold living room, originally built in 1650, has been updated sympathetically through an eclectic mix of modern furniture contrasting with its natural rustic charm. A statement black linen sofa, adorned by a selection of beautiful white cushions with geometric stitching detail, is framed by black lacquered Chinese trunks and oversized bespoke lamps. A large black and white framed print adds character and personality. Two metal round nesting tables, sit upon a beautiful white hide. The room is finished off with the all important accessories, including a water hyacinth round tray holding speciality gins, an oversized resin and stone clam and a vase of faux green succulents.

The wood stove

We first fell in love with Kyal and Kara when they appeared on The Block and have loved following their progress. Now we watch them undertake their first knock-down rebuild with the fabulous Blue Lagoon beachside family home. With their living, dining and kitchen space, Kyal and Kara have created a true heart of the home. Not only is this a space for family and friends to hang out, it also connects to every other area in the home. This fantastic open plan area screams both functionality and design – so what better addition than motorised curtains! The entire kitchen was designed around multi-tasking, and now with just the press of a button (or a quick “Hey Google”), you can be preparing dinner and close the curtains without taking a single step.

This eclectic living room is a bold celebration of character, creativity, and contrast. Bursting with personality, the space is layered with an array of unusual objects and sculptural furniture pieces, each with its own story and form. Colourful artwork energises the walls, while decorative items—collected, curated, and unexpected—fill every corner with charm and intrigue. At the heart of the room, two large green sofas face one another, anchoring the space with comfort and presence. Between them sits a custom-made marble coffee table—an elegant centrepiece with natural veining that adds depth and texture. A standout feature is the bespoke fireplace, designed in-house. With stepped marble detailing and a refined brass border, it blends contemporary craftsmanship with timeless materiality. The original Victorian detailing of the home remains intact, lovingly preserved and repainted to revive its classical beauty. The overall atmosphere is playful, fresh, and full of life—a confident mix of old and new, where historical charm meets bold artistic expression.

A classic alcove cabinet set, designed and made by Davies & Foster for local Instagramer and interior designer Kirsty, over at Greenbank Interiors in Chester. On that note, Greenbank interiors is a great Instagram page to follow for design tips and inspiration. This is classic shaker styling, with modern floating shelves. A great example of what can be done once your alcove cupboards have been installed. Kirsty has set out the space beautifully.

This was a large family living space which had a split level and very high ceilings. The client's wanted to maintain the wooden bannister so we chose colours to tone down any orange tones, and add some warmth to this north facing room.
