There's no better space to catch up with loved ones, your Netflix shows or Instagram feed than in the living room. Here, we've curated a list of the living rooms we've featured this past year with the most allure.

Social media guru, Lauren MacLean doesn’t need a lot of space to make a big impact. Here, she uses a muted palette and small-scale furniture pieces to make this tiny living room appear spacious.

Here, the pink rug and marble fireplace surround offer a contemporary feel to an otherwise Mid-Century Modern-inspired space.

Colour takes centre stage in this Vancouver living room.

The exposed brick wall, vintage-look chairs and colourful woven rug combine for a bohemian-meets-Mid-Century-Modern space.

A stone fireplace, log-burning stove and granite flooring adds Old-World charm to this living room.

Feminine accents — such as the faux-fur and pink pillows and the In Vogue coffee table book — add charm to this 1950s home.

A low-slung sectional plays well with textured toss cushions and a trendy club chair in this vibrant Vancouver living room.

Shiplap adds a stunning focal point above the fireplace, while contemporary leather armchairs warm up the space.

Leather armchairs have been a major trend in 2018 — and for good reason. These armchairs pair well with just about anything, like here, the Montreal-made coffee table and clean-lined, modern sofa.

This Vancouver home has a distinct coastal feel — especially in the living room, with it’s plush peach armchairs and poured-concrete fireplace surround.

An unexpected mix of styles, from the Mid-Century Modern chairs to the toss cushions with a casual beachy flair, work together to create a truly stylish space.

Designer Lisa Tharp perfectly balances neutrals in this spacious and bright living room.

A plush sofa, persimmon-coloured slipper chairs and ottomans upholstered in a striking buffalo check create a cozy and welcoming vibe.

From the wood-clad ceiling to the hanging rattan chair, this stylish space is infused with character.

Shiplap covers every wall in this bright room, but the striking architecture doesn't stop there – exposed ceiling beams add dimension and salvaged windows and doors add character.
