How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your living room in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Warm White (#F5F2EC) for walls and ceilings.
- 3Repeat each accent color at least three times around the room so it looks intentional.
- 4Bring in performance fabric upholstery and washable cotton and linen covers — the two signature materials of Airbnb design.
- 5Add one statement piece: comfortable neutral sofa with washable cover.
- 6Finish with muted forest (#5F7161) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.
Key materials
- Performance fabric upholstery
- Washable cotton and linen covers
- Solid or veneer oak furniture
- Low-pile washable rugs
- Matte black metal lighting
Furniture to look for
- Comfortable neutral sofa with washable cover
- Upholstered or wood headboard with layered bedding
- Round coffee table with no sharp corners
- Dining table that seats the maximum guest count
- Full-length mirror for guest photos
Mistakes to avoid
- Pushing all furniture against the walls, which leaves a dead empty zone in the middle of the room.
- Choosing a rug that is too small, making the seating area look like it is floating apart.
- Relying on a single overhead light, which flattens the room and creates harsh shadows.
Budget tips
- Rearrange existing furniture before buying anything — a new layout costs nothing and changes everything.
- Spend on the sofa and rug first; side tables, lamps and decor can be budget finds.
- Paint one accent wall instead of the whole room to cut paint cost and effort by three quarters.
FAQ

Yes — Airbnb is one of the best-suited styles for a living room. Its performance fabric upholstery and warm white base palette fit the way this space is used. Keep the room's function first and let the style come through in finishes and textiles.

The core palette is Warm White #F5F2EC, Greige #B8AEA0, Natural Oak #C9A97E, Muted Forest #5F7161, Soft Black #2F2E2C. Use Warm White as the dominant color, Greige for secondary surfaces, and keep Muted Forest for accents only.
