Modern living room ideas today are centred on comfort, flexibility, and style. The right furniture can transform your sitting room into an inviting space where everyone feels at ease. Use layered lighting to define moments within the whole room, from gallery walls behind a dining table to warm corners around a coffee table. Whether your layout is open or compact, each zone should offer its own sense of purpose and personality. Natural light, earthy tones, and décor with soft edges help add character without overwhelming the room. Don’t be afraid to combine a corner sofa with floor cushions for relaxed socialising. Pair a vintage sofa with mid-century modern accents or contemporary side tables to create depth and dimension.

A comfortable living room isn’t complete without practical pieces like the Bermuda footstool. Compact yet generous, it’s the ideal complement to any lounge, sitting room, or living space. Whether used as a soft extension of your sofa or as an occasional seat, it delivers extra function and warmth. The Bermuda footstool adapts seamlessly to eclectic living room layouts or minimalist setups. Try it with a neutral colour palette for a calm look or next to a coffee table for casual entertaining. Its curved edges soften sharp corners, adding balance to the space without clutter. You can store books underneath or place a tray on top for added flexibility. In the winter months, this footstool becomes the best place to rest your feet after a long day. It’s a small piece with significant comfort and style.

The coffee table anchors any sitting area — it’s both practical and decorative. A great coffee table fits your lifestyle, from a small space with storage needs to a more expansive layout. The Madrid coffee table stands out with its rounded edges, modern form, and versatile finish. It adds personality to every modern living room while working across styles, from mid-century touches to modern minimalism. Pair the Madrid coffee table with white walls and natural light, or place it near a forest green side table for contrast. A neutral backdrop lets the coffee table shine while tying in tones from accessories or artwork. It also opens a great place for seasonal décor, adding character to your lounge with ease.

Every comfortable living room starts with a thoughtful colour palette. Whether your space is grounded in earthy tones or brightened by painted walls, colour sets the mood. Try combining neutral walls with layered tones in fabrics, rugs, and accessories. Forest green, terracotta, and soft browns are trending and add depth to a modern room. Painted ceilings and white walls can be used together to draw the eye upwards and give height to the space. Gallery walls allow for creative director expression through art, adding layers of personality. Colour inspiration doesn’t stop with paint — explore tone-on-tone furniture or side tables in rich shades to keep things warm and welcoming. Our Colour Guide offers all the tools to refine your interior style with confidence.

If your living room is part of an open-plan home, your dining table should flow with the space. Whether it’s used for eating, working, or hosting, this furniture piece must balance utility with modern appeal. Dining areas in open-plan spaces benefit from clean lines and finishes that reflect natural materials. Position the dining table near light sources and decorate the walls painted behind it for subtle contrast. Earthy tones and décor in wood or metal add weight and warmth. Pair it with comfortable chairs in fabric or leather, and keep nearby zones — like the lounge or sitting room — clearly defined. Use colour inspiration to coordinate tones across the room for continuity. Discover our Dining table collection to find your perfect fit.

Modern living room furniture should support your life, not compete with it. From sofas to side tables, every item should reflect how you use your space. Whether you’re in a small flat or a large house, the right furniture helps define your room while making it welcoming and functional. Mix pieces like mid-century side tables with comfortable contemporary sofas and warm materials for visual variety. Choose light-enhancing tones, and explore storage solutions that make space saving effortless. A focal point — such as a modern fireplace — gives the room a sense of grounding. Our Interior Design Service can help you find the perfect layout, pieces, sofas, furniture and palette for your cosy and unique home.

Modern living room designs evolve with the way we spend time at home. From winter months curled up by the fireplace to summer gatherings in an airy space, your living space should reflect your lifestyle. Add personality through accessories like throw pillows, books, and creative décor. A statement piece such as a vintage sofa or corner sofa brings history and style to your space. White walls and sharp corners can be softened with layered lighting and warm hues. Consider natural materials for grounding, especially in high-use zones like the sitting area. Whether you want a cosy, quiet corner or a bold, expressive lounge, your room design should support how you live. Thoughtful furniture choices and meaningful décor make all the difference.

Designing your ideal living room is about more than just the right furniture — it’s about how everything works together. Use decor, light, and space to create a room that adapts to your life. A trendy living room might feature a mid-century dining table, an eclectic mix of accessories, and earthy tones layered through the space. Whether you’re drawn to minimalism or maximalism, gallery walls or clean lines, your living space should feel both personal and practical.
