A Contemporary Look for Your Living Room

Most trends in design are very interesting, but many styles popular today have really been around for years. However, as the modern design trend has evolved, the furniture styles are starting to change. With sleek, modern designs, textural elements, and clean lines, design in modern furniture is becoming more popular, and the use of materials is now less important.

Declutter Your Space

Simplify your decor! This could be a small space that you want to declutter, or it could potentially be a larger space that requires de-cluttering. It could be something that you are looking to elevate or transform, or turn it around completely.

Choosing Decor for a Contemporary Living Room

Contemporary living room decor often has a unique texture, whether it is wood or metal or glass. It often features a combination of colours and textures, or sticks to a single colour or texture.

Contemporary living room decor is often a balance between the modern and traditional styles, so it may have both contemporary and classical feels, or blend new-age furniture and traditional accessories.

Shapes and Clean Lines

The furniture in a contemporary living room is always very clean, and it often comes in a more modern version of a traditional design. This style often has a strong pattern or geometric shape. The furniture may have a single colour, and this strong geometric shape and colour are what gives the room a contemporary look.

Express Your Style

Feature a Combination of Colours and Textures

Contemporary living room decor is often a balance between the modern and traditional in terms of style, so it may have both modern and traditional furniture, or contemporary furniture blended with traditional accessories.

Accesorize Wisely

One of the most important things for a modern living room is the use of accessories. If the room has a unique shape, think carefully about how to display your accessories. They should be functional and be able to be part of the look, but they shouldn't dominate the room. The accessories should go well with the plan of the room as well as with the people in the room.

Use Interesting Patterns

Natural shades and patterns, especially the use of stripes and plaids, have become extremely popular in the living room. Using patterns is a great way to incorporate a bit of nature into your decor, and it doesn't have to cost a lot.

Take it Up a Notch with Wall Paint

Living rooms are one of the biggest spaces in the home, so it is important you choose wisely. If you decide to paint the walls, you usually want to choose a neutral colour so you can mix and match your accessories and create a sense of unity in the room.

You can also use wall colour to highlight a certain piece of art, or to bring focus to a sweet spot in the room.

And the Alfonso Aiko Sectional (featured here) will help you create exactly that, a spot for you and yours to lounge, laugh, and breathe life into your living room.

You can continue this look in your living room with matching dining table, bench, and chairs. We have modern looks for living rooms as well, including the Mereri Haiku accent table and the Arlene Fern credenza.
