Modern day living rooms focus on comfort and style.
Contemporary living room furniture and seating arrangements include
leather furniture and stylish contemporary rugs. Beautiful lamp lighting
up a strategically placed table can become a beautiful welcome scene to
your guests in the living room. You may also add bonsai or flower
arrangements to your modern accent table to enliven up your living room.
Leather furniture and settees, lounge chairs and single seat sofas are
quite comfortable and go well with modern living room furniture plans.
Floor lamps lighting up a corner of your living room can add dramatic
touch to your living room.
Modern living room furniture can use mix and match seating and
furniture options. Modernistic, sleek or creative tables, side tables
with glass tops, benches and ottomans and contemporary rugs can be
arranged well in your living and family room to give an oriental look to
your living room or an earthy feel to it. Glass top tables create
illusion of space and so are best for small living rooms. Living rooms
that double up as dining rooms may also need to accommodate dining room
furniture such as dining tables with glass or metal tops, dining chairs
and may be modern seating style bars tools. You can layer the lights and
use ceiling light fixtures and contemporary lighting to change the look
and feel of the room at different times.
Contemporary living room furniture or modern living room furniture
refers to the furniture style that belongs later than 1950s and 60s. Any
furniture belonging to the period before that generally comes under
traditional living room furniture while that belonging to the nineteenth
century or before that is broadly referred to as antique. Innovation and
creativity makes contemporary furniture a hot favorite among those who
love to live in style. The comfort level defines its usability though.
You can experiment with contemporary living room furniture available in
different materials including tubular metals and vinyl. An understated
monochromatic color scheme makes it fit easily in all types of decor
themes.
Curvilinear shapes are safer for households with kids while
multipurpose contemporary furniture pieces with integrated modular
elements are a boon for small living rooms and apartment living rooms.
The most sought after contemporary living room furniture pieces are
pedestal tables, sleek sideboards, abstract light sources and modular
sofas. While space saving modern living room furniture lends an
organized look to your living room, the traditional living room
furniture in circle, rectangle and square shapes is being increasingly
abandoned in favor of more contemporary creative furniture pieces that
are shaped as ellipses, oblongs, flares, in shape of S or even kidney
along with other myriad designs. Modern living room furniture pieces
flaunt style and elegance.
Accent chairs can fill up the empty space for additional seating area
while wicker coffee and end tables are light, elegant and answer to
additional space to keep your things. It adds a bit of country, tropical
and oriental touch to your living room. Contemporary home entertainment
units or TV stands are often the focal point of the apartment living
room and include home theater furniture, beautiful TV stands with glass
tops, funky and interesting CD and DVD holders, DVD players, hi-fi audio
systems, plasma TV and its stands and other such electronic
paraphernalia. You may want to display some art piece on sleek wall
mounted shelves or have ottomans with wide drawer base. The corner and
small sized furniture pieces can also improve the comfort level in small
modern living rooms.
