Working with interior designers turns color into a tool—not just decoration. By mixing contrasting tones like cobalt blue and blush pink or combining them with textured natural materials, you create depth in your living room. Interior design here is all about balance: warm neutral walls, artwork in similar hues, and soft furnishings that encourage relaxation. Subtle patterns like geometric prints or layered rugs add texture without overpowering the space. These details express your personality and can transform even a minimalist room into a cozy, welcoming retreat. Add warmth with natural sunlight, velvet pillows, and floor lamps that spread soft, layered light throughout the space.

The Modena seater makes an instant impression with its sculptural form and deep, plush comfort. It’s perfect for any living room layout—especially in small apartments or studio spaces. A cozy sofa like the Modena creates a welcoming and relaxed vibe while keeping a clean-lined aesthetic. Use it as the centerpiece of your sitting area, or style it with bold velvet pillows to add texture and warmth. With its low profile and modular flexibility, the Modena strikes the ideal balance between cozy charm and modern functionality. In compact spaces, it keeps the room feeling open without sacrificing comfort. Position it by large windows to bring in natural light and create a calming space for restful weekends or everyday relaxation.

A great coffee table can transform the entire space—especially when it becomes the center of attention. The Madrid coffee table, with its rounded top and natural materials, brings visual softness to a modern or mid-century modern living room. Position it in front of your Modena seater or between two accent chairs to enhance the furniture layout and highlight a cozy seating area. Coffee tables also serve as a perfect anchor for layering: add a log basket, bold throw pillows, or textured decor to express your personality. In a small apartment, it's an ideal way to ground your living room without cluttering the floor. Whether your walls are painted white or in darker tones, the Madrid's shape and texture make it a standout piece.

If you're working with a small room or limited space, built-in storage can make a big impact on how your home feels. The Como wall system is perfect for compact layouts—it opens up the space while providing plenty of room for books, table lamps, and standout decor. Built-ins reduce clutter and give structure to your layout. This is especially helpful in homes with tall ceilings or where floor space is tight. Paired with the right furniture, the Como system brings simplicity, a peaceful atmosphere, and a modern aesthetic. Whether you’re aiming to maximize space, create a more inviting room, or need a smart solution for a cozy living room, it’s a dependable choice.

In a small living room, it's important to think vertically and use light to your advantage. Our interior designers recommend wall colors that reflect light around the space to create a warm, inviting feel, and pairing them with compact pieces like a kitchen table that can also function as a workstation. Small spaces also benefit from large windows or a bay window design. Use white walls, blue throw pillows, or potted plants to enhance natural features and keep the space feeling cozy. Choosing multifunctional furniture—like a coffee table—is key to maximizing both comfort and practicality in a small apartment. Shop our coffee tables in a variety of finishes and create an inviting spot in your living area.

Cozy living rooms are all about atmosphere, not just materials. Use color inspiration that reflects your lifestyle—maybe soft blue paint, white walls paired with natural wood, or velvet pillows in deep, rich tones. The right wall color can entirely transform how the room feels. A thoughtful design approach brings contrast and softness together: darker tones on the lower half of walls, table lamps for warm lighting, and textured area rugs. Interior designers often suggest organizing your layout around a focal piece like a plush sofa, and adding a gallery wall to bring in personality.

Even in a minimalist space, gallery walls and statement art can add warmth. Hang artwork in a reading nook or create a feature wall around your sofa with a collection of frames. Potted plants add softness and a lived-in feel, especially near a bay window with natural light streaming in. Small details like a log basket, subtly patterned side table, and soft throws can completely shift the atmosphere. This creates a warm and welcoming vibe that evolves throughout the day. Combined with high ceilings or light, bright paint colors, you can bring out the full personality of your living room.
