1. Chic ceilings. Like a cherry on top, wallpaper on the ceiling can put the finishing touch on a room. This Canadian living room features Cole & Son’s Malachite, from the Fornasetti collection, which adds whimsy and depth to the space.

2. Tone on tone. This sublime living room in Perth, Australia, shows the power of decorating a space in similar color tones. From the walls to the tufted furniture to the Greek key-bordered rug, this space is awash in shades of beige. The overall effect is soothing and confident.

3. Bold bookshelves. For the bibliophiles out there, having books integrated into living room design is often a must, but that doesn’t mean you have to be boring about it. This custom bookshelf in London is a great example of how shelving can be an exciting interior element.

4. Sensational symmetry. It has been said that symmetry is the key to beauty. If that’s the case, this Charlotte, North Carolina, living room designed by Chuck Frusterio is a knockout. The placement of the sofas, chairs, end tables and lamps is mirrored on both sides of the fireplace.

5. Open space. Open floor plans have been popular for living rooms for some time, and this impressive living space in a former Boston area school converted by SWZ Architects is a terrific example of why the layout continues to draw adoring fans.
