Agree to host a holiday gathering, only to find that your guests list is heading into uncharted territory? While for many it seems that serving as a host comes effortlessly, for some it is a rather nerve-wracking experience. If you're debating about the details of your home -from the menu to the welcome mat – here's a bit of inspiration from homify architects and designers for arranging your living room to be as accessible, comfortable, and conducive to social gatherings as possible.

1. ​Laid-back class

Some New Year's themes are all glamour and glitz – this living room opts for a more subtle, laid-back vibe. The classy atmosphere created by the high quality, neutral-toned furniture creates a feeling of natural comfort that comes as effortlessly as throwing on a wool blanket beside the fireplace. A large coffee table in the center makes a great space for drinks and appetizers, while several different seating options scattered throughout the room offer a range of options for guests to make themselves comfortable.

2. ​Lofty and lit

With the addition of a stylish suspended fireplace, this convertible room offers the utmost in comfort, as the temperature, light, and wind can be regulated in several different ways.

4. ​Urban atmosphere

This high-energy loft brings more of an industrial urban feel to the living room, with fiery splashes of red in the bar stools, pillows, and blazing fire bringing warm energy to the room. A flatscreen mounted high on the wall makes a good addition for catching the Times Square countdown with the group gathered around!

5. ​Rustic-chic comfort

The holidays always have a nostalgic ring to them – this comforting rustic living room is a vision of simpler times with its wooden floor, woven rugs, and upcycled farm wagon furniture. A New Year's gathering in this living room is particularly dynamic as guests are able to spread out onto the lofted mezzanine or into the open concept kitchen and dining room without missing the action!
