See your living room with only what you use every day
Minimalist living rooms are built around a short question: what do you actually use in this room? Usually that is a sofa, a table, a lamp and somewhere to put things away. Everything else goes behind flush doors or out of the room. The result is open floor, clear surfaces and one strong piece, a sofa or an artwork, that gives the room its character. Upload a photo of your living room to ImageQuarry, ask for it pared back to essentials, and compare several levels of reduction before you clear anything out.
Find the level of reduction you could live with by comparing versions.

What a minimalist living room needs
Living rooms collect the most clutter in a home: cables, remotes, books, toys and decor. Minimalism starts by giving all of it a closed place.
Fewer pieces, larger scale
One generous sofa reads calmer than a sofa plus two chairs plus a pouf.
Closed storage for everything
Flush cabinets and built ins keep cables, remotes and books out of sight.
Clear floor
Little furniture standing on the floor makes the room feel bigger.
One focal point
A single artwork, plant or sculptural piece gives character.
Start from your room
Start with a photo you upload, ask what to remove and keep, and get a new version beside the original.
Branch for a softer take
Branch from the barest version to add a rug and a plant while keeping the strict one.

What is a minimalist living room?
A minimalist living room is a sitting room reduced to the pieces you use, with closed storage for everything else, clear floors and surfaces, and a single focal point.
It is not the same as a Scandinavian living room, which keeps more throws, lamps and books for a cosier feel.
Minimalist living room questions
Can I see my living room with less in it?
Upload the photo, select it and ask which things to remove and which to keep. Review the new version against the original.
Where do books go in a minimalist room?
Behind closed doors, or on one short shelf with a few chosen books.
How do I hide the TV?
A flush media wall with sliding or folding panels is the usual answer; compare it with an open version.
Will it feel cold?
A single wool rug, a plant and warm light keep it comfortable; compare versions with and without them.
Can I keep adjusting this minimalist living room?
Yes. Each request builds on the living room version you selected, so you can change one minimalist detail at a time.
Can I compare minimalist living room versions and download one?
Yes. Line up the minimalist living room versions you made, choose the one you would build, and download it to share with whoever is quoting the work.
