Bauhaus Living Room Interior Design
Ideas, layouts, colors and materials for a bauhaus living room — plus the pieces that make the look work.
Designing a bauhaus living room
A bauhaus living room blends the bauhaus look — rational + energetic, tubular steel, plywood, linoleum — with layouts and details that suit a living room. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.
Bauhaus living room palette
Let white, grey and material color occupy most of the room. Select one signal hue for orientation and, if needed, a second smaller hue to balance it across the composition.
Color roles
The primary light field for walls and large cabinet planes.
Makes frames, task zones and structural grids easy to read.
Adds economical warmth while exposing honest laminated construction.
Marks one active plane or movable element rather than becoming a decorative theme.
A spatial cue for a door, recess or storage bay used in a controlled amount.
