Colourful Living Room Design

A sparkling chandelier, glass coffee table and Saarinen side table keep this room airy and light.

"While that round shag rug is slightly too much – even for me – it really does quite the smashing number in the space. I’d lose the shag, but keep the colour," says Arren Williams, stylist and founder of the design blog, Arren Williams Design Lab. "I love the commitment to colour and pattern in this space, right down to the tiled hearth, patchwork sofa and multi-head '50s floor lamp. Plus, any space with white painted floors will get the thumbs up from me."
