Modern Living Room Furniture Decoration Tips



Living room is the life and soul of any house. That is the reason that it is called the living room, a place where every member of the family joins and eats dinners or watch television. Living room is also the place where most of us entertain our guests. Only the most formal guests have to be entertained in the guest or drawing room, otherwise living room is the best place for that.


As the living room occupies a central place in our house, we should pay great attention to its decoration. The first preference should always be given to the style and comfort factor. You have to combine the style with the comfort to give the place a great and amazing look. Following tips will help you in getting to that point.



  • If you do not have enough budgets, try to rearrange the existing furniture. That is actually not a difficult job. You can change the setting of the sofas and tables. The television can be mounted on a wall instead of a special table for that. Ideally, you should also buy a couple of modern couches to give the place a real nice look.

  • If you have some money, try to sell all the old stuff. That is necessary because an old-fashioned look in the living room would do you no good. The most essential furniture to buy for your living room is none other than a comfortable and modern sofa. It should ideally be of leather and should be very comfortable.

  • As for the couches, you can buy any type you like. The modern couches are available in every shape and size including the shape of animals. These couches will be good for your kids as they would enjoy sitting on them. A couple of modern and sober couches are also necessary for the grownups.

  • The table in the living room is not that necessary. If you have enough space in your living room, then you can surely buy a table. Glass table will look great in a living room, but it is a risk if you have small children. Unless the glass is strong enough and mixed with synthetic materials, do not place a glass table in your living room. A wood table would be more than enough in that case.

  • As mentioned above, wall mounted TV is the most popular trend these days. If you like the old style then you should buy a small movable glass table. TV trolleys, although old style, are available in many stylish designs.

  • A living room is incomplete if you have not cared for the floors. A carpet or rug is essential in most cases. Instead of covering the living room with wall to wall carpet, just place a small rug in the middle. Floor cushions will be a good addition to your living room especially for watching TV. Small chairs for children also add comfort to your living room.

Impression about Camel leather sofa


The Sectional Sofa sets are getting very trendy in the recent years. I believe that one major reason for the popularity of these sofa sets is their adjustability. This sofa set can be placed in TV lounge or they can be also put in drawing room. I would like to share my experience regarding the use of this sofa. Before buying this sofa set, I was very confused for decorating my living space. I wanted a combination of modern and traditional sofa. In addition, selection of fabric was always an issue for me. Finally, my family friend suggested to me to buy camel leather upholstery sectional sofa with nail-head design. I bought this sofa set and truly speaking it changed the look of my place. I must say that this versatile media 2 piece sectional is the best option for those who want to bring a traditional look to their place. The use of leather provides a great convenience to maintain this sofa set.

You can just clean it with a wet cloth. Another appealing feature of this sofa set is its storage ottoman that fits into every curve. I arranged a movie night at my place and I feel quite proud that my friends really felt very comfortable on this sofa set. If you plan a get together, you can use two ottomans to create a pit. I am also recommending this sofa set because of its durability. This sofa set has been constructed with kiln dried solid wood frame and interwoven webbed base. In my view, the dimensions of this sofa set are very suitable for any home. The dimensions of the storage ottoman are 46"l x 28-1/2"w x 18"h, while that of sofa set are 144"l x 38"w x 38"h. Therefore, go for this furniture piece and enhance the elegant and unique look of your place.

Modern furniture designs

The most difficult part of choosing furniture is to choose it for your drawing room. It is the place where you entertain the most formal guests and want to give a best expression of your home décor. Grandiose sofa sets are still in vogue for these drawing rooms.

There are, however, some variations in this trend. Instead of old style sofas that look heavy, modern sofas are light and easy to move. They are made of either wrought iron or wood, but share a common factor i.e. they are lighter and look very slick and modern.

Aside from the living room or bedroom furniture, modern designs are also available for the dining room, bathroom and kitchen. The dining table is an essential part of every home and it has to carry a modern design. Wooden designs are still popular, but most people now prefer wrought iron dining tables.

Wassily Chairs: learning the details!



Having a comfortable chair can make or break your working day and your back at the same time! One of the best contemporary designs for modern chairs was put forward by Architect and designer Marcel Breuer. The architect was a prolific designer but one of his best creations is credited to be The Wassily Chair. The chair was named after his beloved friend and colleague, Wassily Kandinsky. The designer convinced a local plumber and welder to merge several pieces of tubing into the cubist structure of the tube. Although he wanted to mass produce the Wassily chair, it did not happen. But over the years, the Wassily Chair caught the attention and imagination of several artists and it went into mass production. You can still source the design at online websites and own a modernist piece of art for a song!

Contemporary Bedroom




The word contemporary means of the same age or era. In design terms, therefore, it means that the contemporary interior is something that is current, and of this period, and as there are currently so many design trends upon which to draw, it gives a very broad spectrum indeed for planning a bedroom.

Two of the most obvious styles for a contemporary bedroom that most readily spring to mind are rooms furnished in a minimalist manner, and those decorated with neutral colors and natural furnishings. Shades of beige and cream accompanied by sea grass matting with textured cottons and linens sit very comfortably together. Either way, the room will have a distinctly contemporary feel to it.

One of the most pleasing things about this type of styling is that it does not have to follow an historical or period style. The purist approach to decor need not be pursued and if you have furniture from a mixture of eras and in a range of styles, there is every possibility that you can find a suitable way of uniting them. The other element that is becoming increasingly used in the contemporary interior is the influence of other cultures. Adopt the ideas wholesale or adapt them to fit in with your environment. In all, contemporary style gives enormous freedom and can afford you the opportunity of being very creative.

The Bedroom furniture that we can afford

The bedroom atmosphere we create is up to us. We could go for luxury bedroom furniture and decadence, with rich fabrics and sumptuous textures; or for calm sophistication, defined by elegant tailored lines and cool, neutral colours; or perhaps the refreshing simplicity of painted floors and furniture and crisp gingham covers. The trick is to devise a room where you feel completely at ease - a retreat from the rest of the world where you can switch off and totally relax. The problem is the right choice of bedroom furniture, - because we will live with it for long time.

Modern furniture: the beginning



The chronicle of modern furniture start in the wake of the Industrial Revolution, when furniture could be mass-produced in factories by machines instead of made by hand, piece by piece. Although for a long time a clear split between technology and art remained—new materials and inventions challenged the engineer, while designers were generally content to draw inspiration from past styles—the potential of technology was seen by a few forward-thinking designers.

Most important was the Austrian Michael Thonet, who produced what is considered to be the first modern furniture in the middle of the nineteenth century. After much experimenting, Thonet perfected a steam process for bending hardwood by machine, a process still used today. His furniture was first shown internationally at the London Exhibition of 1851, where it was appreciated immediately. Inexpensive and well-designed, bentwood chairs and other pieces became widely popular in Europe both for home and public use.

Thonet's company produced much of the world's classic modern furniture. In addition to Thonet's own designs, the company manufactured some of the work of Josef Hoffmann and Otto Wagner, and later that of Mart Stam, Le Corbusier, and Bauhaus faculty members. It was the first company to make "knock-down" furniture and it shipped some chairs unassembled to both sides of the Atlantic. Thonet Industries still mass-produces modern classics by many designers.

Another early designer was Joseph Beverly Fenby, who’s Tripolina Chair, created in 1877 of canvas and wood, was a simple and inexpensive provision of portable seating. The Colonial Chair (designer unknown) was another such innovation, also made of canvas and wood, but with a revolutionary structure, first used by British officers in India. Both chairs are still popular today. The Colonial Chair was updated by Denmark's Kaare Klint in 1933 and renamed the Safari Chair.

The Shakers in the United States were precursors of the modern movement. It was their idea, many decades before the Bauhaus, that form must follow function—one of the most important principles of modern design. Their modern furniture first became popular around 1860 and is popular again today.

The focal point of your living room

With all your living room problems well in hand and a list of furnishings firmly in mind, how do you pull everything to­gether? Begin by establishing a focal point. Every piece of furniture can't be low in a room, and the "something high", such as a break-front or a tall secretary, can become a focal point If you have a camel-back sofa on one side of a living room, balance it with some­thing else of significance on the other side. If you ignore the opposite wall, the room will lack balance. Interest will sag. A focal point in a traditional living room is often the fireplace. It can also be a series of plates or small platters, or several rows of well-framed and matted botanical prints from books. By establishing your focal point, you have already resolved two major walls.

Some views on living room's focal point.

Home office: start from plan, finish with furniture.


Some experts have said there are only two essentials for a functional home office: a comfortable chair and a door that closes. In this age of information, we'd probably add a few items.

Whatever your leanings, it's time to block out the basics. Scan the photos and text throughout this book for ideas. Shop around, floor plan and measuring tape in hand. Talk to retailers. Look at magazines and advertisements and check out mailorder catalogs'. Dream a bit.

Then start putting your ideas on paper. Most office owners want space for desk work or paperwork, keyboard operation, telephone/fax use, and storage. A fifth space, the seating/conference area, is important to some, unnecessary to others.

In addition, consider the things that affect your overall well-being. Some of these are tangible, such as good lighting, safe wiring, and ergonomically correct design. Others, though less visible—such as the need for quiet or privacy—are no less important. Independence can be important, too; providing an under-counter refrigerator and a coffee maker or small microwave could help cut down on those distracting forays to the kitchen.

One way to save time—and your back—when planning is to use paper cutouts. Draw the outlines of any large equipment and modern or contemporary furniture you're considering to the same scale as your floor plan, then make several photocopies of both and cut them out. Slide the cutouts around on a copy of your map until you see a promising layout, then trace the outlines onto the plan. Create and compare several layouts. Review your priorities. Then choose the setup that offers the best solution to your own individual needs.
