Earthy green, a warm beige and white are the best colours that will visually enlarge the room. To achieve the contemporary design, match earthy green walls, with the beige or yellow furniture. Brown would do just as well for the sofa or an armchair. Warm beige walls in combination with brown or lavender furniture make the extravagant, yet so modern living room. To make your living room feel homey, make a neat collage out of your family photos and put them on the walls.

Flooring

Carpet, laminate, wood or stone, every flooring will look best with a carpet. While you probably know whether the shape of the carpet is going to be rectangular, circular or oval, more importantly you should pick the right colour. Deep charcoal carpet will be the best contrast to light beige, white or light blue walls. The room will look especially inviting and open if you choose a light hardwood floor and complete it with a white carpet with touches of brown, beige and black.

Furniture

Choosing the right furniture can be tiresome, and time-consuming, depending on how big your living room actually is. Let us start with the basic item – sofa – a necessary piece of furniture in every living room. A light brown flooring, beige walls and a brown leather sofa with accent pillows will look so elegant. Not all of us like to go bold with the wall colour, but we still feel like there should be a little splash of colour in the room. This is the time to choose a sofa in a bold colour such as fuchsia, or a royal purple and add the special touch to the interior.

The seating area is best designed with a coffee table. An end table could do as well, to stand next to the sofa or an armchair, and have a lamp on it for a bit of additional lighting.
