Modern Ideal Living Room Design Collection from Housetohome

Modern Striking living room
Decorating a modern living room always be a great and fun project, here are several collection of modern home design series on designing a living room from houstohome. On the first picture, there is a striking style living room, stripes don't have to be colourful to make an impact. Here, wide stripes in grey, black and white work with the dark-painted woodwork to create a sophisticated feel. Bright colours look great set against black and white, and this lime-green leather seat makes a real statement.
Retro living room
Union Jack-themed accessories are a great way of creating a retro-60s look without having to spend money on new furniture. Here, leather chairs and pouffes complete the look. Artwork propped on the mantelpiece, rather than hung above it, creates a relaxed look, while vertical radiators and chrome lighting maintain a slightly more contemporary feel.
Dramatic fire place modern living room
Here, wall-mounted marble creates a dramatic feature wall. There is no need for pictures on the wall, as the marble makes such an impact. This works well because the fire itself is such a dramatic design. A quirky lamp and modular sofa echo this contemporary feel.

In an open plan living area, a low-backed sofa is a good choice as it doesn't block the view from one end of the space to the other. In this contemporary scheme, neutrals and white are punctuated by gold in the form of the cushions on the sofa and the dining chairs, which draws the whole scheme together.
