DDL: 10 Gorgeous Modern Living Room Looks

Your living room is more than just a space. Like the name implies, it’s one of the most important rooms in your home. Unlike kitchens or bathrooms, the living room is usually our first thought when it comes to decorating.  Whether you’re looking for inspiration to completely redecorate or just want to give your space a quick refresh, we’ve got living room decorating ideas and styling tips to help you create the living room you’ve always dreamed of.  

1.      Luxurious Textures 

In 2018 we are expecting living rooms to become a celebration of luxurious finishes. And nothing says luxury like velvet sofas and plush carpets, complemented by silky cushions for a wonderful feelgood factor.

2.      Industrial Chic

Pair your luxurious textures with a bare wall or metallic lighting for the perfect contrast between luxury and industrial chic.

3.      Patterns are Pretty  

Layer intricate pattern on pattern while keeping the backdrop understated. Spots, stripes, ikat prints and colour block all work together beautifully when united by a harmonious palette.

4.      Moody Hues 

Moody greys and burnt orange tones create a welcoming, modern scheme. Offset a dark wall colour with sumptuous textures such as a velvet upholstered sofa and a stylish chair in burnished leather.

5.      Into the Blue 

Blue and white is a classic colour combination that’s perfect for a living room. However, adding a quirky twist to an old theme will bring a modern look to your home. Try going nautical with interesting wallpaper textures.

6.      Rich in Pigment  Colour is set to be bolder this year. Get braver with colour choices – on both walls and furniture pieces, with brooding violet, navy and striking emerald green all key colours for 2018.

7.      Dark and Luxurious  2018 is the year where darker wood tones signify a resurgence for retro glamour for a new take on modern luxe.

8.      Gold is Gorgeous Metallics are all the rage now, but gold is having a more refined moment in the living room. Look for brushed, satin, or matt finishes. Aged brass/silver/copper are always in style, but a good matt gold can take it down to another level.

9.      Wonder Wall A feature wallpaper helps to emphasise the shape of this open-plan living room makeover. Plain white roller blinds allow the beauty of the traditional sash windows to shine through.

10.  Revitalise with Green  There are plenty of reasons for being hung up on lush, leafy greenery. As one of the major interior décor trends for 2018, planted beauties don’t just scrub indoor air, it also invigorates décor with a chic 1970s vibe.
