In this room, the family gathers in the evenings to relax, watch TV, and entertain guests. It’s a space where the tastes and preferences of the apartment’s residents truly come to life. Cozy nooks for relaxation, dining areas, and workspaces should all form a cohesive ensemble. The trendy sectional furniture of today helps achieve this goal. It can occupy an entire wall or a significant portion of it, but the very principle of sectional design allows individual pieces to be placed not just against the wall but also in the middle of the room, serving as partitions. This way, you can separate, say, a relaxation corner from the dining area without disrupting the overall harmony of the space.
Of course, everyone arranges their furniture and decorates their home according to their own taste. That’s why no two homes look alike. Still, there are some tips that can be helpful for everyone.
In modern interiors, fabrics play a significant role. This includes upholstery for chairs, sofas, and stools, as well as curtains and rugs. We recommend selecting these fabrics so that they harmonize with one another. The primary color depends on your personal preference, but the fabrics should either be contrasting or closely related in color.
Should you decorate the walls with tapestries? Absolutely, if the wall hanging or tapestry is truly beautiful. This will make the room feel cozier and more inviting.
Small, tastefully chosen linocuts and prints also add an appealing touch. If you have a keen eye for nature and can see the silhouette of an exotic bird or animal in an ordinary branch, then let these wonderful roots and branches find their place in your modern apartment. Beautiful appliqués, children’s drawings, and wood carvings—anything you and your kids can create by hand—will fit perfectly into a contemporary interior. Of course, it’s important to have a sense of balance; moderation is key.
A home that incorporates national folk motifs with a sense of good taste and expertise always looks modern. Decorative axes, plates, vibrant throws, and towels complement simple furniture designs beautifully.
Flowers are the true adornment of a home. Fresh flowers can be placed in large and small vases—ceramic, glass, porcelain, or crystal. Even a single flower can make a striking impact, especially when paired with a green sprig.
Nowadays, houseplants are often placed not on windowsills but rather create a unique garden or flowerbed on the floor near the relaxation corner. Flowers can be arranged in low foam boxes or baskets. Blooming plants can coexist beautifully with stunning cacti, trailing tradescantia, and lush green sedum.
The living room is the largest room in the apartment. Let it be the coziest and most beautiful space of all.
