One of the most sort out designs when it comes to living rooms. Moody living room designs are probably the best when it comes to creating nice vibe. The dark setting is what stands out the most and that’s why most people want it.
This is a setting that’ll change the way you view living room decorations completely. I’ve done this type of design countless times and it’s still one of my best to recreate. You’ll get the perfect hue and you’ll not want to go back.
This post is filled with some of the best aesthetics and you’ll love them. If you’re just trying a dark aesthetic vibe for the first time then you’re in the best place because I’ve got easy designs even a beginner can achieve.

If you’ve been looking for a modern setting then I’ll like you to know that this is beyond modern, this is a futuristic setting. You know those decorations you could have for a very long time without it going out of trend. A classy look is waiting for you if you’re opting for this.
One of the best things in decoration is the light arrangement. Look at how well the lights are placed, they’re placed in areas where they need to be in order to maintain that moody vibe. You’re going to get a lot of compliments if you can go with this.

If you’re used to a moody setting then you’ll know that the color of the paint has probably the highest impact when it comes to the mood of your space. This dark blue color is what set the mood here and I love it, it looks smooth and very beautiful. It’s also better to have one of your couches share the same color as your wall paint.
If you’ve got large windows then you’re going to have to do different type of windows setting. Most people with large windows don’t really prioritize them but you will because you want to control the amount of light that comes in.

I was just explaining how important the size of your window is for this type of setting. A small window that brings in little light is exactly what you need for this decoration. I’d like you to consider beige curtains as they help change the hue.
The mixture of both farmhouse, bohemian and modern items will give you the most artistic vibe ever. If you’ve never tried a mid century modern living room design before then you’re going to love this, it’s the most artistic look.

Going for a black paint just means that you’re ready to make your living room have the setting and your mind is made up. It’ll be very hard to want a brighter setting since you’ve already painted your walls in a very dark color so just know you’ve already made up your mind.
Normalize using different colors for your couch as it helps to bring a nice modern look. You can make the couches on one side have a particular color, while the ones on the other side a different color entirely. This arrangement makes your space have that nice diverse look.

Installing windows that changes the tone to a warm one is something you’ll love if you like your space in that tone, you can go for beige curtains as they also help in bring in a warm hue. I like my room being a bit warm other than being very bright, so I’ll definitely go for this idea.
A brown couch along with a nice bohemian rug would be a great idea if you’re not going for a full Modern style, you can also mix it up if you like a mid century modern design. Pick nice plants to use preferably something that has similar colors as your furniture.

You can have a very tiny space and still achieve things people with bigger space cannot. Managing spaces is very useful and you’ll understand if you’ve been following this blog. Setting up layers and wall cupboards are a great idea to keep things above instead of crowding the floor.
It should amaze you how people have the biggest windows but still maintain that dark aesthetic. Wall paints, lighting and the type of mirror determines how bright or dark your space will turn out. Setup a sliding ladder for easy access to your items above.

This is minimalist to a whole new level. If you want to go for a complete minimalist style then this should be perfect for you. Minimalist styles always turn out perfect if you know how to arrange your items. Basically, you need just few items but you can also make multipurpose furnitures which is best for this type of decoration.
Multipurpose furnitures are very useful, you get to place one furniture that turned to three instead of placing three different furnitures. The large mirror here is the standard feature because it looks lovely. I’ll recommend placing lights around the mirror.

This is how to use a two-colored combination. When opting for this kind of decoration, you want to use colors that are perfect for each other. Blue and white have always been perfect together and if you’ve been decorating for a while you’ll know how to utilize them.
Items like the chairs, center rug and curtains should each have one of the two colors (white and blue) you intend to make use of. The vase of your flowers should also have similar colors if you want a unique look.

A vintage setting is something I’ll never let go of, they’re quite the most gorgeous setting. If you’ve been following recent designs you’ll know that more people are moving towards a vintage style and the designs are more beautiful than ever.
Most people are now mixing modern designs with them and they’re very artistic. If you’re going for this vintage look then you’ll thank me later. A moody vintage look is the dream, a lot of people love this style.

When it comes to being creative, there’s simple no limit to how good things can turn out. I’ve seen a lot of people use books for decoration and they turned out great. Creativity has no limit and you’ll understand that with more experience.
Having the same colors for the couch, curtains, wall paint and the carpet create a very unique vibe you’ll love if you like your designs in uniform. Opt for big wall art if you don’t want the smaller ones, the big wall art occupies a lot of space.
11
Most people would opt for just a center rug but it’ll be nice to use a full rug for a change. Full carpets can be stressful because you’ll have to pull them out to clean them. If you’re picking a carpet then let it share similar colors with your furnitures.
Mirrors are once again used as the wall art here and I love the innovation. When picking your wall art, it’ll be nice to opt for something with a frame that has similar colors as your theme, this idea creates a very good look.
12
A bohemian setting may just be the perfect setting for this theme, this is something I’ve been saying for a long time. There’s this vibe that comes with a bohemian setup, it’s never too bright. Bohemian decor is not really hard, probably one of the easiest you’ll encounter.
Get a boho rug as that’s one of the most common items in this decoration, your wall arts should be the usual bohemian wall art. Plants are very much needed and if you’re a plant enthusiast, you’ll love the way the plants look in this setup.
13
A minimalist style is not average or mid as most people call it. I live for simple designs, you’ll always see me prioritize simple designs over anything because they’re simple the best and they take little effort to accomplish. If you don’t want to stress that comes with decorating then this is for you.
If you’ve got big windows then you’ll need to make your wall paint darker because this is how you’ll achieve that moody vibe you’re looking for. Plant pots can stay on the side table or the main one, whichever you place your plant pots they definitely fit.
14
When decorating, most people don’t think beyond the color of their sofa and I’ve seen this countless times, they only want something that’ll carry the same or similar color as their wall paint. Using different types of sofas like l-shaped, sectional sofas and more makes your space look classy.
These this trend going on where people replace regular hard tables for the couch-like ones, you know those soft round couches used as tables. This is one of the best trends ever and I love it, I can tell you how many times I’ve used it for clients.
15
Having a small space is never an excuse when it comes to home decoration because it’s the easiest to work with. Big spaces are nice and all but I love working with small spaces more because I love simple styles and small spaces are the best when it comes to creating a minimalist style.
Mirrors are becoming the new wall art and more people are following the trend. Wall arts used to be the usual wall painting being hung on the wall but now people are moving towards other things, things like wicker baskets, hats and mirrors are now being used as wall arts.
16
Picking dark color for your wall is the best way to start because that sets the vibe already. Black paint is not something I’ve seen people use, most people would always go for a dark blue or green color instead of pure black like this one here.
Your furnitures should also have the same or similar colors as your wall, this makes your decoration have a nice unique setting. I’ve done this method a lot and it’s one of the best decisions ever because all your items blend in with the same color.

This is exactly what I was saying in the previous slide, darker wall paints sets the vibe for the theme of this design. This is very similar to what we had in the previous slide but the difference is that this one comes in a much brighter color but still in a less bright shade.
There are many ways plants can be utilized especially if you love to place them in your space. This is the perfect way to place those big plants. Those tight corners are the perfect spot to place your plants if they come in big sizes.
18
Vintage style is one of my best and I say this because farmhouse style is my best but vintage style is something I really admire. This is more of a Midcentury modern style, it has that mixture of old vintage and modern style setting. If you love a nice vintage setting then this is for you.
One way to make your space look classy is to setup a table in a corner, this is where you’ll place items like wall art, plant pots and more artistic things. This setting is something I’ve convinced a lot of people into doing and they loved the idea.
19
This is another Midcentury modern setting and you can tell by the items and the colors they come in. This is fast growing trend and so many people are utilizing this style. I saw a lot of people use this style last Christmas and they’ve not looked back since then.
If you’ve got a fireplace and you don’t have a wall art and plant pot on it then I don’t know what you’re doing with that space. Your fireplace is like the best place to place your artistic items. A vintage center rug always looks good especially if you’re going for a vintage theme.

Most people think that to achieve a moody setting, you’ll have to shut all the door so everywhere becomes very dark. This setting requires the best light setting and if your light game is terrible, you’ll probably end up with a hideous design.
If you’ve got a big window or glass doors like this one, then get curtains that have darker shades or you could get glass that bring in less light than normal ones. Glasses that don’t bring bright lights are the best.
21
As someone that loves farmhouse setting, I love to see people use more farmhouse items in their designs. You don’t always have to go all in on a modern design, you can always place some farmhouse or vintage items in your space to make it look classy.
Wicker baskets have been used for a lot of things like storage bag, wall hanger for plants, wall arts and many more. They’re my best items anytime I’m going for a farmhouse theme. You’ve got a wicker basket as the side table here which I’ll put in my bucket list.
22
Most people think that you need to have a big space for your design to look luxurious. To be honest, the best living room designs I’ve seen are the ones created in a very small space. This is the perfect example on how to utilize space.
As seen here, the walls are a very important factor when decorating especially when you’re working with a small space. You want to make sure that some your items are hung on the wall. The ideas of creating a shelf to place those items is a very good one and you can see that here. This is the best way to place all your favorite items even with a small space.
23
I like the idea of setting up shelves just to place items like wall arts, plants and books. This is something I’ve done multiple times so I know how good looking they can be. If you look closely, you’ll see how classy the setting is.
I like when people experiment with tables, there’s nothing I haven’t used as a center table because I love experimenting. This table is quality and the design is just perfect, I’m definitely going to try this table design.
24
I’ve seen people say colorful designs are tacky and only for kids, that’s very false. If you know how to utilize colorful designs then you’ll have no problem at all. One thing about creating a colorful design is that it’s very easy to make it look bad.
You have to get colors similar to each other, colors that blend with each other so your space doesn’t look like it was designed by a child from 8th grade. Each color should be similar or blend in with the next.
25
I really like people who always look towards plants as a way to make their space look beautiful. Plants are one of those items you just cannot ignore, no matter the kind of decoration, plants will fit in and I’m taking from experience, they literally fit in any theme.
The best thing about placing plants is that you just cannot have enough, you can literally place them anywhere and they’ll look beautiful. There’s also no limit to how much you can have in your space, I have about five big pots in my living room alone.
