Living Room Style Statistics

Your living room will usually be the most important room in your house. Your living room’s style will usually match your overall home’s style, however, if you are building your own home or redecorating your entire house then you might want to choose the style you’d like your living room to have and then match the rest of your house to it. We have laid out all living room styles from most popular to least popular to make your choice easier.

Living Room Size Data

It’s not a big surprise that most people go for a medium sized living room, you have to do the best you can with the space you have right? With more and more people choosing to live in smaller spaces like apartments there is less space to work with. Large living rooms do take a big portion of the popularity so that should tell you how much people care about their living rooms if they are willing to sacrifice the space of other areas to prioritize a bigger living room.

Just like in any other room, the color you pick for your living room can make or break the entire aesthetic you where looking to achieve. We found that the most common colors people choose for their living room are Brown, White and Gray. With the statistics laid out for you, it’s time to decide on which end of the spectrum you land on.

Most Popular Types of Living Rooms

The Type of living room you choose will, again, depend on the lay out of your home if you are only remodeling. If you are building your home from scratch then these are the main options for you. Most people go for the Open style because it provides lots of flexibility if you decide to change things up some time so it makes sense for people to go with that option.

Specialty Data

very important aspect of choosing your living room type and style is the purpose of the living room. Depending on the size of your home you may have all of these living room types, if you are short on space then you will have to reduce the amount to one or two of these. The most popular living room specialty is formal, this makes sense because most people only have one living room and this is the place where you would entertain your guests.

Living Room TV Aspects

Most people have a TV in their living room, and most of the time the living room is built around the TV. If you are part of the 55.72% of people that wants a TV in their living room then here are your choices and their popularity.

Picking the color of the walls for your living room is a very important and hard decision to make. If you have an Open type of living room then your choice of color will probably have to go with the rest of your home. If you have a living room that has its own space then you have some more flexibility. We are providing you with all the data you’ll need to make your decision.
