MODERN LIVING ROOM IDEAS FOR 2022 – INSPIRATION FOR CHANGE!

1 THE UNDERSTATED BRIGHT MODERN LIVING ROOM

 

 

Have a living room that has sunlight flooding in? You don’t always have to compliment glorious sunshine with colours such as white or light pastels. If you are a fan of more somber and heavier colours, you can still make it work in your living room. Take for example our Teal Darcy Linen corner sofa placed in this sumptuously large living room where large bay windows cast the sun’s spotlight. An earthy rug provides just the right staging for what is one of the bestselling sofas here at Abakus Direct. A contemporary coffee table placed in a slightly offset position allows it to find the perfect balance between aesthetics and utilitarian function.

The rest of the living room is left largely untouched, barring a side table with a potted plant that complements the chaise end of the sofa. A lone wall shelf gives you just enough unobstructed real estate to add your curios to finish off this bright yet understated modern living room.

2 THE EARTHY MODERN LIVING ROOM

 

 

Featured here is our black and grey Dylan corner sofa taking center stage in a living room inspired by an earthy tones and style. Light grey curtains ensure that the ceiling to floor window are not hindered by upholstery with conflicting colours. Wall paneling in a light grey colour allows the living room to cosy up and look more inviting than what a blank wall or even a feature wall can manage. A coir feature board adds yet another earthy element. It’s also incredibly inexpensive. Rug of choice here is a light sandy area rug that houses two tables on its periphery, one with a night lamp and the other with a potted plant. A living room that’s gorgeous by day and soothing by night.

3 THE ALL CONTEMPORARY LIVING ROOM

 

 

Want your living room to look uncompromisingly contemporary. That’s exactly what you get here. Featured here is our Chicago corner sofa with a plush velvet fabric. Soft and luxurious, the velvet is also as state of the art as a fabric can get, capable of repelling liquid stains. A shag carpet rug shows off a very modern coffee table with an equally contemporary accompanying side table. Another side table by the chaise end of the sofa features a sleek and minimalist light lamp. Even the wall lights are very modern, hung by wires ending in inverted cone lights that are just perfect to create the mood lighting you want.

Wall paneling and three very modern art abstract pieces finish off this very stylish modern living room.

4 THE COMFORTING MODERN LIVING ROOM

 

 

Need a living room where you can immerse yourself into a book or maybe even just your thoughts. This living room does exactly that, by setting the mood with colours and hues that are meant to comfort your soul. Sunlight from ceiling to wall windows are gently tempered by light teal curtains to mellow the living room. Our Dino corner sofa does the rest with its black and dark grey chenille upholstery, inviting you in for that much deserved sit. Overlapping rugs nicely break up the large space in front of the sofa. Side tables and other furniture are all tactfully chosen to not vertically challenge your space, letting you seamlessly draw in the entirety of this very comforting living room.

5 THE CHEERFUL MODERN LIVING ROOM

 

 

This cheery modern living room celebrates the generous sunlight flooding in with a burst of colours in just the right places. Ingrid, our elegant Lawson styled sofa takes center stage while it sits atop a bright quartz-red rug. Throw pillows with tropical accents, night lamps with bright shades and a few other bright curio items scattered across the room all add to the upbeat feel of this living room, but without looking noisy or overwhelming. A pastel wall paneling across the entire back wall provides a tasteful canvas for this very chic modern living room.

Want to spruce this living room up even more? Pick up our Ingrid sofa in a brighter colour. Besides the usual neutral greys, we also have it in a forest green, a beautiful burnt orange and a delectable wood rose colour.
