Make Your Own Modern Living Room Set!
To design a modern living room set is to go through many hassles simultaneously. You need to make space for entertainment and work together. You also need a space to rest. But the same decor will seem easy with a few tricks.
You will find rooms with an all-over neutral palette. Also, there are rooms with extravagant color splashes. But not in modern living rooms.
They combine something from everything, like a complex novel plot. There is a bit of romance, mystery, intrigue, and abundant adventures.
These modern living room sets speak volumes about your personality, styling sense, and the things you love.
Designing your functional living room set
Today, more than 30 million Americans live in single apartments. Again, the size of an apartment living room is way smaller. They are generally 18×14 or 16×12. But you can revive its glory with a quintessentially functional and modern living room set.
Just throw two sofas with the coffee table. Guests can indulge themselves here. Also, add some cool-looking curtains over your French windows. Moreover, a fireplace would add a grand touch to your bright living room.
I see such decor in most of the modern living room sets.
The modern homes have their home theatre and workstation in the same room. So they can accommodate guests and do office video calls from the same place. But they can combine both with a fine decor sense also.
These are undoubtedly contrasting vibes For your living room. However, the best living room designs can pull off such utility decor with a minimalist look.
Choose the best modern living room set.
I scanned the internet and went to the expos. I also contacted my designer friends. I have a few ideas for building the ideal modern living room set.
Pastel shades
Pastel shades look just fine in any modern living room set. Choose a pastel shade if you don’t want to go overboard with a spectacular color splash.
Your wall may look like posters from Old Hollywood films. But that’s what we want to achieve here. We are deliberately toning down the color. After that, we can contrast vibrant furniture colors with the subtle walls.
But why pastel? Pastel creates a monochromatic feel so that the minimal furniture in the room is highlighted. It will hence make your room seem extravagant.
So, what pastel shades can you choose? I suggest white pastel shades with earthy accents for a small living room. I also feel textured furniture, like a wooden bookshelf in a beige living room set, is the best combo.
White with textures
If you love classics, you’ll also love this modern living room set. White is an eternal color. But it is blank and seems empty at the same time. Hence, you can use any over-the-top accent you want.
There is one thing about modern home decor. They play with colors brilliantly. Most modern living room sets have textures. They also include visual aesthetics. Some of the aesthetic pieces are faux fur based cushions to add sophistication. You may also go with exposed brick walls. I like white cupboards on white walls. That’d make a fine white living room set.
If you are choosing neutral hues, don’t forget to add contrast. For example, add golden and blush contrast to make the room seem elegant and stylish.
Colourful sofas for modern living
A 3 piece living room set can add an edge to your modern living room. Let me tell you- sofas are not something to experiment with. They can be the centerpiece in your small living room ideas.
But I prefer modern styles to Victorian hues like bold, bright, and glamorous sofas. In my opinion, the sofa should be turquoise or toned down charming yellow. Hence, your room will have a refreshing feel. But it will always be in sync.
You can try more similar alternate color combinations. If you like some combination badly, comment below. I can check it out and make a separate blog on it.
Boho and Chic
Want an ultra-urbane combo? Try boho with chic for your modern living room set. There are numerous connotations of this combination. Boho itself has multiple connotations. To some people, it means carefree and casual decor. To others, it might be all about the “me” thing in the whole room.
Now, you can combine any boho element with chic styles. For example, try leather tassels, off-white with bright colors, or mix and match the chairs with the sitting area.
The bottom line is to create a look that stands apart from the rest.
A geometrical modern living room set
Did you ever wonder- how straight lines and linear patterns can uplift your living room? Indeed, the living room will seem very orderly. At the same time, the room design will be soothing to the eye. But how can you add geometric designs to your living room?
Firstly, add geometric light fixtures. After that you can go with a rectangular symmetric coffee table. You can also add geometric wall hangings with paintings of geometrical shapes.
However, geometric designs might not fall in sync with each other. Most importantly, you must notice the point where the room decor seems fine. Beyond that, it may seem overboard.
So geometric decor is all about finding that point of finesse. I prefer white with neutral colors for a geometric room design. Besides, I think of an eye catchy centre piece also. But nothing to tag along.
Minimalism- a sure winner
Do you want ideas for your modern living room set that will succeed? Only think a little, and apply your minimalist living room ideas.
Firstly, the minimalist living room includes a strong focus on aesthetics. You should also use sleek furniture and light colours mainly. Secondly, don’t cramp your room with surplus decor. An iconic sofa set or a classic chandelier would do the trick. The rest of your room decor would play second fiddle to the centerpiece.
Art and artistry
How can art be a part of a modern living room set? Including art pieces might seem like medieval or Victorian ideas. So, keeping the rest of the elements minimal and crisp is better. At the same time, the main focus should be the art on the walls.
But the question is-what art would be suitable? Firstly, you can try self-portraits, your paintings, etc.
If you have a low budget, you can hang gorgeous stitched cushions to make a colorful carpet.
When your living room is filled with art, it makes a statement.
Bonus tip- add Italian furniture to a modern living room set
Consider these furniture sets if you want elegant room decor that compliments the contemporary theme. Firstly, include a sofa with armchairs. Remember your sleek coffee table, which is mostly of contemporary design.
But that’s not all. You have to use an innovative and diverse color palette. At the same time, you have to choose the shades that fill the empty space with your personality.
You may choose the shape of your sofa. I would prefer a corner or a linear sofa. The latter creates a very posh and modular look in my living room. I would also like to customize the colors of my sofa upholstery.
Make Your Dream Living Room Set
A modern living room set is not only a cluster of innovative ideas. You must also have a fine sense of decor and interior design to accomplish it.
If you are furniture and wall decor are not in sync, your room will seem abstract. Moreover, an apartment living room serves many purposes. You have to entertain your friends and family here. It may be your workstation as well. You may also spend a movie night or treat it as a playroom for your children.
So, the crux is to create a balanced decor.
