12 Living Room Layout Ideas from Real Projects
The living room is often the heart of the home. Through this selection of White Space projects, discover different approaches to living room and open-plan living-space design in apartments and houses.
Open Up a Narrow Living Room
Project 112 RP
In this Paris apartment, the objective was to transform a narrow space into a more open and brighter living room. Restructuring the layout improved circulation and made the living area feel visually larger.

Create a Large Open-Plan Living Room and Kitchen
Project 104 DK
A 55 m² extension made it possible to create a large space combining the living room, kitchen and dining area. The whole composition functions as one place dedicated to everyday life and shared moments.

What Makes a Good Living Room
A successful living room does not depend only on furniture or decoration. Above all, it relies on good spatial organisation, fluid circulation, appropriate lighting and an understanding of the occupants’ everyday habits.
