Understated luxury
For contemporary living rooms, it’s all about figuring out how you want to spend your downtime and designing a living room that allows you to do just that in the most stylish way. Living rooms need a lot of layering to stop them from feeling bare and uninviting, so consider the textiles that you put into the room. Velvet curtains or an upholstered footstool offer the opportunity to layer up fabrics which creates visual interest. Make sure that you also add cushions in a variety of different shapes and sizes, as this will produce the feeling of luxury (even if they are not overly expensive). If you think of the relaxing seating areas in high-end hotels, they all have multiple textiles running through the design, so be brave when mixing up your fabrics and patterns to recreate the same look.
A curated space
The living room is the ideal place to display keepsakes and collectables as they add a whole load of personality to a room and show off your unique interior style. However, there’s a fine line between a curated collection and a sense of overwhelming clutter, so it’s important to be selective. When deciding which objects to showcase (and which to keep tidied away), favour decorative items that evoke memories and joy that complement each other. Consider if the colours clash and the size of each item as ideally, items should be displayed in your home in groups of three, so pick out what decorative items work well with one another in terms of height and scale
