Get styling cues and storage ideas from some of your favorite stars
We can’t stress enough how important the living area is. If we think about it, it’s one of the most versatile areas at home. Aside from being a space meant for relaxing and entertaining guests, it also functions as an extension of the dining area, as a study nook, and as an extra sleeping space when needed, too.
To motivate you to keep this part of the home inviting and organized, we rounded up a couple of celebrity living areas you can use as inspiration. These spaces prove that whatever the style you’re going for, one thing’s for sure—you and your guests need to feel at ease the moment you step into the living area.
Manny and Jinkee Pacquiao
Reminiscent of spring, the living area in the Pacquaiaos' modern tropical family home boasts of statement pieces in neutral colors, accessories in red and coral, and natural light streaming in from the huge windows and sliding doors. If you’re a fan of neutral colors but you’re worried about having a bland space, incorporating accent hues can be a solution.

Paras Family Home
The living area in the three-storey family home is as homey as possible—meant for a family who loves spending time together.

The open shelf does more than hold the TV—it livens up the wall and allows the family to display a variety of accessories and photographs. Take your cue from this space by investing in a sturdy shelf or media cabinet that you can use to display collections and other memorabilia.

Iza Calzado
Iza’s home is all about elegance—from the choice of furniture and accessories to the dominant colors used in the space. What we like best about her space is the mix of furniture as interior decorator Nix Alanon paired neutral sofa with an accent chair, two stools, and a glass coffee table. To make it extra inviting, indoor plants are part of the décor, too. Plants add a distinct appeal to any space.
