A modern living room is not just a space; it’s a reflection of sophistication, minimalism, and functionality. In today’s fast-paced world, having a living room that is both stylish and practical is essential.
Our friends at Delcor have helped us with this this guide which will explore key elements in creating a modern living room, featuring beautiful accessories from Luxury Homes and some of Delcor's handcrafted sofas, altogether perfect for achieving that contemporary look.
Modern design is all about simplicity and clean lines. It creates a sleek, uncluttered look. Sometimes all you need to be minimalistic is a sofa with no patterns on. Or, for those defined lines, choose a contrasting colour for the piping.
A modern living room often features a neutral colour palette, with shades of white, grey, and black. If you prefer some colour then keep that colour to one statement item such as the sofa shown below in an otherwise neutral scheme. Soft colours provide a clean backdrop, allowing your furniture to stand out.

Statement Pieces
In modern design, the sofa is often the statement piece. A luxury designer sofa, with its unique design and high-quality materials, can be the focal point of your living room.

Accessories such as our stunning collection of faux plants and flowers will add drama and depth to your scheme too. Our favourites are the Phalaenopsis orchids.
Functional Yet Stylish
Modern living rooms require furniture that is as functional as it is stylish. We have a selection of sofa beds that offer both functionality and style for your home providing multiple benefits. Delcor’s Mountbatten Riser Recliner is a chair that combines functionality with style to take pride of place in any living space.
Lighting: A Key Element
Lighting plays a crucial role in modern living room design. It’s not just about functionality; the right lighting can also enhance the room’s mood and aesthetic.
Consider a mix of overhead lights, floor lamps ( such as our stunning tripod lamp below), and table lamps to create a dynamic and versatile lighting scheme. Plus, many people opt for voice controlled lighting that connects to their smart device. This is the ultimate way to bring a modern style to your home. And, it’s a great way to play around with ambience whilst relaxing on your luxury sofa.

Minimalist Decor
In line with the modern theme, decor should be minimalist. Opt for a few well-chosen pieces of art, sleek shelving units, and minimal decorative items.
Textures and Materials
While the colour palette might be neutral, playing with textures and materials can add depth and interest. Mix materials like metal, glass, and wood for a contemporary look. Use a beautiful sculptural wall unit as shown below to achieve this effect. Delcor’s range of fabric and leather sofas can also add varied textures to your space.

Creating a Functional Layout
The layout of your modern living room should be functional and facilitate easy movement. Arrange your furniture to promote conversation while ensuring the room feels open and airy.
Creating a modern living room is about finding the perfect balance between style, comfort, and functionality. It’s a place where design meets practicality. With accessories, luxury sofas and furniture, achieving this balance is not just a possibility but a certainty.
