Innovative Sofa Designs for Modern Living Spaces

What is an innovative modern living space?

Put simply, an innovative modern living room is simple, sleek and elegant. The increasing popularity of minimalist interior design styles, such as the Scandinavian style, gives way to most modern living room design ideas. The key here is to focus on simplicity and symmetry in order to create a clean yet stylish space.Some of the most popular design trends in modern living rooms feature bright or neutral colour schemes. Modern living room decor is often a combination of geometrical and minimalist styles, sometimes with bold decor or mid-century modern furniture.

Arguably, the most important piece of furniture for a living room is the choice of sofa and offering sofas to fit your taste and lifestyle is something we at Abakus pride ourselves in.

Sofas with clean lines and simple designs work well in minimalistic spaces, while leather or suede sofas with curved lines create a more elegant and luxurious look. The colour of the sofa is easily one of the most important factors in selecting original and tasteful modern living room pieces. For many, the most popular colours for modern living room sofas include black, grey, white and navy blue.

Put your feet up and unwind:

Your sofa should be the heart of your home. It's more than just a place to sit; it's where your baby sat up for the first time, where you relax after a long day and where you doze off on Christmas day. That's why we make sofas for more than sitting… we make sofas for living, loving and enjoying.

And after ten years, we reckon we're pretty good at it!

If it’s simplicity that you had in mind, then look no further than our Darcy Corner Sofa.
