Working with interior designers allows you to turn colour into a tool — not just decor. By combining contrasting tones like cobalt blue and blush pinks or pairing them with textured natural elements, you create depth in your living room. Interior design here is about balance: walls painted in warm neutrals, statement art in the same shade family, and soft furnishings that invite relaxation. Subtle patterns like geometric prints or layered rugs add texture without overwhelming the space. These touches reflect your personality and can turn even a minimalist space into an inviting atmosphere. Add warmth with natural daylight, velvet cushions, and floor lamps that cast soft, layered lighting across the whole room.

The Modena seater makes an immediate impact with its sculptural shape and generous, plush comfort. It's ideal for any living room design — especially when you're working with a small space or studio. A plush sofa like Modena creates a relaxed and inviting space while maintaining clean lines. Use it as the focal point in your sitting room or pair it with bold velvet cushions to add warmth and texture. Thanks to its low profile and modular options, the Modena helps maintain a perfect balance between cosy living room charm and contemporary function. For smaller rooms, it enhances the sense of openness while still offering deep comfort. Place it near large windows to invite ample natural light and create a restorative living space for lazy weekends and daily moments of calm.

A great coffee table can transform the entire space — especially when it takes centre stage. The Madrid coffee table, with its round top and natural materials, adds visual softness to a modern or mid-century modern living room. Place it in front of your Modena seater or between two accent chairs to enhance the furniture layout and highlight a cosy seating area. Coffee tables also offer a focal point for layering: place a log basket, vibrant cushions, or textured decor on top to bring personality to your setup. In a small apartment, it’s a perfect way to ground your living space without overwhelming the floor. Whether you're working with white paint or darker tones on the walls, Madrid’s shape and material make it an ideal anchor.

If you're working with a small room or small spaces, built-in storage can create a huge difference in how your home feels. The Como wall system is ideal for compact layouts, helping to open up the space while offering ample room for books, table lamps, and statement art. Built-ins eliminate clutter and frame your layout with intent. This is especially useful in homes with high ceilings or where floor space is limited. Combined with the right furniture, the Como system supports simplicity, a serene atmosphere and contemporary designs. Whether you're looking to have more space, a welcoming feel in your room, or need something practical for a cosy living room, it's a go-to solution.

In a small living room, it's essential to think vertically and reflect light. Our interior designers recommend using wall colours that bounce light around the space, creating an inviting atmosphere, and pairing them with compact pieces like a kitchen table that can double as a workstation. Small spaces also benefit from large windows or a bay window setup. Add white walls, blue cushions or potted plants to reinforce the room’s natural elements while maintaining that inviting feel. Choosing furniture with multifunctional use, such as a coffee table, is key to maximising both comfort and practicality in a small apartment. Shop our coffee tables in different shades and create an inviting space in your sitting room.

Cosy living rooms thrive on mood, not just materials. Use inspirational colour drawn from your lifestyle — perhaps paint colours in soft blues, white walls paired with natural wood, or velvet cushions in rich tones. Your walls painted in the right tone can completely change how the room feels. A well-thought-out scheme introduces contrast and softness at once: darker tones on the bottom half of walls, table lamps for ambient light, and area rugs for texture. Interior designers often recommend building your layout around a focal point like a plush sofa and using a gallery wall to add personality.

Even in a minimalist space, gallery walls and statement art can add warmth. Hang artwork in a reading nook or create an accent wall around your sofa using a collection of frames. Potted plants bring softness and a lived-in feel, especially near a bay window where natural light filters through. Small touches like a log basket, side table with subtle patterns, and soft throws can completely transform the mood. This creates a welcoming ambiance that evolves throughout the day. When combined with high ceilings or bright paint colours, you bring out the full character of your living room.
