Living Room Designs for HGTV Home 2018
The living room remained a central focus in HGTV Home 2018, with conversational layouts and multi-functional storage. Pieces were arranged to support both intimate gatherings and everyday activities such as homework or remote work.
Sectional Configurations
L-shaped and three-piece sectionals allowed flexible zoning within larger open-plan spaces. Choose configurations that wrap around a fireplace or anchor one wall while leaving room for a console behind the sofa.
Bedroom Storage and Layout Strategies
HGTV Home 2018 bedroom sets balanced soft textiles with structured storage, ideal for couples or guests sharing a space. Thoughtful compartments reduced visual clutter and streamlined morning routines.
Platform Beds with Drawers
Low-profile platform beds integrated drawers for out-of-season bedding and accessories, maximizing under-bed space without sacrificing headroom or style.
Dining Room Functionality in 2018
Dining areas in HGTV Home 2018 emphasized adaptability, with tables that expanded for holidays and everyday compact forms for weeknight meals. Lighting fixtures above the table added warmth and defined the room’s focal point.
Extendable Tables and Lighting
Pedestal or trestle bases allowed leaves to be added when hosting, while pendant sets with dimmers supported both dinner parties and quiet breakfasts.
Planning and Care Recommendations
- Measure doorways and stairwells before delivery to ensure large pieces fit through entry points.
- Layer lighting with a mix of ambient, task, and accent sources to define each zone.
- Choose a unified finish family across collections to create visual continuity between rooms.
- Use removable cushion covers and slipcovers to simplify cleaning in high-use areas.
- Anchor seating arrangements with area rugs to ground the layout and add comfort underfoot.
