As you can see in the image, modern living room design and minimalism goes hand in hand. The clean, sharp lines of modern furniture and accessories look their best in a pared back setting so use a less is more mentality when choosing new pieces. A black and white scheme with a subtle splash of accent colour highlights the sleek sophistication of this style even more.

Another popular colour choice of the moment which is going nowhere fast is the blue living room. From navy to teal, rich, inky blues are enjoying their time in the limelight and we can’t get enough of them for the lounge. An excellent wall colour as you can see from above, it’s a vibrant yet versatile colour that certainly plays well with others. Keep it simple by pairing it with whites and greys or be more daring by adding mustard yellow, blush pink or subtle multicolours.

Who’s longing for a luxurious lounge? Luxury living room decor ideas normally have two things in common, plush textures and shining metallics. We love the opulently curved velvet sofa in the image above, which paired with jewel-toned accessories and gleaming brass and gold creates a look straight out of some of the world’s finest hotels.

Blush, millennial, bubble gum, rose gold. You’ve probably heard of more than a few of the pink colour trends that have taken the world by storm over the last few years and it’s now official. Pink has had a glamorous grown-up update and it’s here to stay. This pink living room combines both deep and pastel pinks on a neutral background and we can’t get enough of it.

Rustic or country living rooms are relaxed havens to help you escape from the world outside. Simple and charming, they are reminiscent of an English country home filled with traditional yet cosy fabrics like tartans and chunky knits. We love this light and airy take on country style which brings a touch of the classic country garden to the room too.

We all dream of living in a New York loft don’t we? Or is that just us? Laidback and undeniably cool, for industrial living rooms think exposed raw materials like brick, concrete and wood softened with plump sofas and cushions and textured rugs. This living room’s tan leather sofa complements the exposed brick wall to great effect and it brings a dash of vibrant colour to the sharp black lines.

Cool and calming, Scandinavian design is the first choice for many in their homes. You can’t go wrong with a Scandi living room as this style can be as formal or as relaxed as you like. The room above has a soothing neutral palette and simple furnishings with tactile accessories that makes it look beautifully laidback but still oozing sophistication.

Green living room ideas tend to take on either a glamorous, regal edge or a luscious, natural feel. Whether you are looking for a dash of decadence or a leafy paradise for your lounge, green is one of the most popular styles of the moment. We love how the gold touches in this lounge gives the green an opulent feel but we are equally fans of the natural side of the colour too.

Mid-Century Modern in an enduring style loved by many and thanks to the eye-catching furniture of the time it’s perfect for the living room. If you’re lucky enough to own genuine Mid-Century Modern furniture you’re already half way there, if not, countless brands are taking inspiration from the design-led era and are creating items reminiscent of this iconic style. Think block colours, bare woods and statement shapes.

Bright and breezy, coastal interiors have the power to transport you straight to the beach. Easy to overdo however, it’s best to stick to a light palette then add subtle coastal touches so to not go overboard. A classic combination of cool blues and white like the living room above always give us coastal vibes.
