5 Modern Living Room Design Ideas & Décor Inspiration

White Modern Living Room Design With Sideboard, Long Central Bench & Cream Colour Sofa - Beautiful Homes

Take cues from Anjali Mangalgiri’s sleek all white living room with a linear visual impact. We love how the sideboard, long central bench and sofa line up. Also, the bright purple injects a healthy dose of colour, complemented by the freshness of the greens in the corner.

White Modern Living Room Design With Cream Colour Sofa & Designer Ceiling - Beautiful Homes

An interesting way of using up corners is to go vertical – a smart trick employed in this house. The long chandelier in the corner doesn’t just light up the room, but also doubles up as a focal point. Cushions, chairs and ceiling have been cleverly used to inject colour into the white space. Keep the furniture to a minimum to avoid crowding the space.

Living Room Design Ideas With Chevron Printed Rug, White Wall Paint & Grey Sofa - Beautiful Homes

The star of Jason Wadhwani’s living room is the chevron print rug, which immediately pulls the eye and sets the tone for the black and white colour scheme used throughout. The L-shaped seating arrangement, completed with a sofa and two pouffes forms the larger part of the seating area. Alternately, you can replace the monochrome rug for a bright, solid colour one for a dramatic effect.

Modern Living Room Design in Light Grey & L shaped Sofa - Beautiful Homes

Having a modern living room doesn’t mean you have to forego colour. For instance, Swapan Seth’s vast living room is a light grey, offset by a powder pink, L-shaped sofa. We love the linear side table propped with an alchemist’s tools, which makes for an edgy décor choice. Also, a handy tip to decorate barren walls is to fill them with artwork – either in monochrome or technicolour.
