Modern living rooms are comfortable and inviting and built for today’s lifestyles. To everyone else, the word “modern” is simply a shorthand for that feel fresh and liveable in the here and now. The modern living room is now an area of reinventing traditions and less of style. The living room is built for family time and to relax alongside casual entertaining. The living room today must have a few key elements, natural lighting, comfortable seating and a flexible layout to allow for movement.

Use a Bold Colour

Adding a soothing colour to your room can energize the space. Small accents scattered throughout the room can also add some balance without being overwhelming.

Showcase your Art

Consider what you would like to showcase on your walls. Vary the type of image and in different types of frames. Mixing different sizes is also key, but no one piece should take centre stage.

Take a Risk

This living room has a bold blue sofa that creates an element of surprise. This acts as a base for neutral décor choices within the room keeping it liveable and balanced.
