6. Adjoining Bar Area

One of the most brilliant modern living room ideas is to combine your living space with a bar area. You can hop over from your sofa to grab another drink from your bar without ever needing to break conversation.

It’s a contemporary design that is perfect for hosting guests as they’ll also fall in love with the multi function genius of the space. Whether you are hosting a sports night or simply want to unwind with a glass of whisky, this is a great idea.

7. Small Living Room

While modern living room design might often be about big spaces and as much light as possible, for many people, that’s not what they want. They would rather have a much more intimate and relaxed space.

Here you can create something a lot more personal and private. You can still make it into a modern living space by adding contemporary furniture and art. You can also use modern lighting to create something classical with a 21^st century twist.

8. Neutral Colors

One of the biggest hallmarks of a modern living space is that they very seldom use bold color in the décor. Instead, you see a much more limited palette such as white walls or a subtle touch of light blues, greens and greys.

Natural stone can also work very well in a modern space as long as it’s light. If you want to have an instant modernization of your living room, then a change to lighter colors will do it.

9. Monochromatic Grey

Another color variation is where you use a monochromatic grey scale. This is where you only use black, white or different shades of grey. We see this plenty of time in modern décor and the results can be utterly fantastic.

For your furniture to fit in with this modern style, a leather sofa is a great idea. You can also get a fabric sofa that matches the color scheme. When you opt for this style of design, you need to commit to it and ensure that everything matches.
