We’ll also study the architectural features that take neoclassical living rooms to the next level, including stunning windows, beautiful archways and grand doors, in addition to the exquisite accessories that finish the neoclassical style with flair.
Art and arcade. In this spacious and luxurious living room, great art has been framed within a spectacular arched alcove, which is flanked by delicate gold sconces and decorative boiserie. This arched art installation could be scaled down to fit smaller residences to a similarly glorious effect.
This arcade is a device to elegantly separate the living room from the kitchen in a wide open plan. The arched architecture inspires a set of curved living room furniture and rounded dining rooms.
Small-scale archways. In a smaller, more modern architectural realm, internal archways can be introduced by cutting the corner of a square doorway or introducing surface elements like this inverted arch modern fireplace.
Crystal reflections. A crystal chandelier introduces a chic and classic glow. This one casts its light on the dark interludes of two luxurious black marble coffee tables.
Dark and bold. The delicacy of boiserie is most often displayed under a good white finish, but dark decoration also suits a neoclassical design. This living room combines both color palettes with a high-contrast archway and adjoining room.
Modern fusions. While boiserie and crown molding present a classic backdrop, furniture can strike a very contemporary note, like this trendy fluted coffee table and fun faux bench.
A round tufted sofa design is a match made in heaven for the neoclassical style, as are the curly arcs of an aesthetically wired lighting installation.
Marble magnetism. In this elegant residence, boiserie is exchanged for a more linear panel molding design. The simpler wall treatment makes a quiet companion for a wide white marble slab, which is complemented by a matching marble coffee table and side table.
Archway colonnade. The archways in this design are a run of windows that make up an intelligent colonnade. An inverted arc pendant light extends the aesthetic.
Complicated inspiration. The intricate scrollwork in this deep crown molding design inspires a circular chandelier, an arched floor lamp, complementary relief art and a unique rug.
On the contrary, the form theme in this home shows a sharp and linear edge, proving that there is not only one side of the coin.
Modern and magnificent. This modern living room chandelier hangs from a stunningly beautiful ceiling rose, surrounded by an additional outer ring of enchanting molding.
Strike a great note. While all the classic decorative details are prevalent in this interior, there is definitely a bolder personality burning through. A focal piece of edgy artwork draws the eye with a neon punch, accented by a bold maroon sofa and joined by two extraordinary pendant lights.
Another quirky piece of art steals the spotlight here, next to a stunning traditional fireplace.
Calming symmetry. Two rounded chairs face two arched windows and a pair of matching floor lamps in this urban apartment. Two more arches on the adjacent wall draw their own symmetrical conclusion.
Another triumph of symmetry, this living room is perfectly balanced with facing white armchairs, a centrally placed coffee table, a sofa, and living room art that is equally flanked by modern sconces.
Fuchsia infusions make a wonderful color palette alongside classic artwork and traditional boiserie.
Battle of the focal points. In neoclassical decor, you don’t have to settle for just one statement. Consider building a fabulous TV wall with chic white marble and backlit shelves, go all out on boiserie and crown the whole show with a stunning chandelier.
Comfortable curves. With a soft and serene approach, this living space is a calming space to hang out. A rounded sofa, curved lounge chair and circular coffee tables complete the elegant silhouette of a wide archway by the window.
Fluted and fantastic. Hitting the modern texture trend of the interiors, this round coffee table and upholstered bench introduce fluted lines into a fantastic setting of eye-catching boiserie and modern wall lights.
Reflective and calm. Tiled floors do a great job of reflecting the light and providing a high-class shine. That said, an additional large area rug will make the space feel comfortably cohesive and calm.
In a double-height living room, make large lighting fixtures and hang them in multiples of different lengths. Boiserie panels should extend from floor to ceiling to draw the eye all the way up in one uninterrupted sweep.
A brown leather sofa offers an earthy base in a light and decorated scene.
Relaxed furniture and handwoven rugs create a delightful counterbalance to more formal detailing.
Bold black and white contrast and modern artwork infuse a quirky character.
Blue based. With a perimeter of pure white wainscoting, a dark blue sofa lays a color-rich base that exudes effortless sophistication. Color-matched artwork expands on the hue.
This lighter blue sofa, scattered pillows, side table and contrasting orange artwork mark a cheerful conversational environment that goes beyond the perimeter of a round rug.
A small-scale version of a round carpet living room layout.
In the mood. All the colors and textures of this living room design are brought together in one piece of living room art that looks distinctly like a mood board.
Just because you have a sophisticated interior doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun. This living room ensemble uses the bird-themed Moooi Perch Floor Light to rock its refined look.
A collection of favorite things. For those with eclectic tastes, a white boiserie background makes an ideal blank canvas for a wildly contrasting assortment of living room furniture and accessories.
When mounting a TV, effectively navigate a panel molded wall with a floating TV mount, even if it is only color-matched to the wall.
Red, white, blue and royal, this place looks fit for a king and queen.
Both classic and contemporary, the arc trend can be introduced in many forms.
In this room, the most prominent arches come in the form of a modern chandelier with a colorful finish.
Release conventions. One person’s serenity is another person’s prison, so burst with pieces that make you happy.
Sit back and observe. With so much spectacular beauty within the very walls, just lie back and take it from low living room furniture.
An abundance of burgundy and teal accents create a decadent palette.
The minimalist mood. With so many decorative details, is much more needed?
Expect the unexpected. Take decorative wall molding to another level with bright colors, and use quirky artwork to guide the eye to wander again.
Time for wine. Use those high ceilings for backlit towers of tempting wine storage, like in this elegant living room, which gets an intimate social aesthetic on a round rug.
Art-like installations. A sturdy accent sofa, an unusual chandelier, an abstract rug and a single sculptural dining chair all placed close to each other build an art gallery-like appeal.
Curiously color-blocked. Covering curiously chosen sections of the wall, this color-blocked paint effect keeps the eye wandering and the mind wandering.
to ignite Cutting from one side of the living room to the other, a wide, linear modern fireplace blazes a bright image of luxurious comfort.
Fresh and fluffy. Feathers and faux fur cheerfully soften a formal living room scheme.
A wonderful character. Building on an exemplary backdrop of boiserie and arched doors, this layered living room design incorporates unique furniture and textured wall coverings to create a character of its own.
Give it some gold. Bright gold accents warm up a white scheme, adding luxury to the calm.
Swags and tufts. If you want to build full opulence, say it with curtain shoes and tufted upholstery.
Understated elegance. Just a few beautiful pieces can say a lot.
Dripping with style. Living room pendants hang like jewelry from the ceiling of this elegant living space, where a unique tufted sofa curves to greet them like a shy smile. Marble coffee tables nestle in front under a contemporary fluted texture.
Color riot. Too much formality is not good for creative souls. Creative homeowners will find joy and greater comfort in a riot of colorful home accessories, wall art, an eye-catching accent chair or a casually curved sofa.

51 Neoclassical Living Rooms With Tips And Accessories

Designers Show How The White House Could Have Looked Different If These 5 Plans Weren’t Rejected
We are all accustomed to the look of the White House, and most of us appreciate its modest neoclassical design. In 1792, the first president of the United States George Washington held a contest for the design of the White House, which an Irishman James Hoban won. But the seat of the world’s most powerful nation might look different. Many architects offered their own versions of the White House, including polyhistorical president Thomas Jefferson, who lived in the same White House nearly 10 years after the contest. But as with all competitions, the winner is long remembered, and the ideas of the losers are almost always forgotten. These rejected plans remained obscure until HouseFresh decided to revive them in digital form and show us what the White House could be like. So look!
Jefferson’s plan for the White House
Thomas Jefferson was Secretary of State at the time, and was closely involved with the management of the competition. But he was also an architect and an enthusiast of classical European design. Experts attribute a losing entry with the name “Abraham Faws” to Jefferson. The “real” Faws sent their own, amateur entry, and Jefferson’s anonymous project was later attributed to Faws due to a clerical error.
Jefferson would move to the White House as president in 1801, describing the mansion as “large enough for two emperors, one pope and the great lama.” However, he couldn’t help but expand it, adding an arcade and other features to form the White House as it looks now.
Philip Hart’s plan for the White House
The competition to design the White House was part of a broader challenge to suggest an architecture for Washington’s powerful headquarters. Phillip Hart was an amateur architect – more likely a professional builder – who submitted proposals for both the president’s house and the Capitol.
Hart’s White House repeats its vaguely absurd capital sketches. The abbreviated upper floor and faux-Renaissance style lacks the style and complexity that Washington wanted from a building that should, “in terms of size, shape and elegance … look beyond the present.”
Andrew Mayfield’s plan
Andrew Mayfield Carshores was a linguist and former British soldier and teacher. Its simple design reflects the pre-revolutionary military architecture, characterized by the colonial period of American buildings Georgian, and English.
Carshore’s steep roofs border a lead footpath, with a rainwater reservoir on the roof of the main block. But the judges lacked a vital spark to his work. According to architectural historian Hugh Howard, Carshore was an ‘amateur gentleman’ and his rejected entrance may be the only building he has ever designed.
Jacob Small’s plan
Jacob Small submitted four entries to the 1792 contest. Author Patrick Phillips-Shrock points out that the designs of the Small White House were inspired by two iconic buildings of that time: Mount Vernon, George Washington’s plantation mansion, and the Maryland State House in Annapolis.
A small one connects the stable and kitchen blocks to the main house with arcades. But its labyrinthine interior of corridors and mysterious stairs would be unpleasant for the president. Interestingly, Little envisioned oval-shaped rooms for the White House – but he failed to integrate them into his broader design in any significant way.
James Diamond’s plan
Originally from Ireland, James Diamond was an architect and builder. The White Diamond House stands around a rectangular courtyard. However, Diamond notes in his project that “the Open Court can be changed to a Picture Gallery and Illuminated from the Top, which would have a great Effect.”
Diamond’s design incorporates complex design elements such as Ionic columns and window frames covered with pediments. But the stairs are located awkwardly away from the entrance, and the overall size is supposed to be too ornate for George Washington’s tastes.
