About a Contemporary living room
What does Contemporary change in a living room? The finish. A sofa, a coffee table, an area rug and a media console are rebuilt in sculptural, current-day materials, in a palette of one confident accent color and clean neutrals, with clean-lined, sculptural forms. A floor lamp and layered ambient light sets the evening mood, and the seating layout and the sightline to the main window stay as photographed — you get your own living room back, restyled.
How to get the look
- Keep the seating layout and the sightline to the main window as the living room's focal lines — the style changes finishes, not the layout.
- Build the palette around one confident accent color and clean neutrals instead of a single bright accent wall.
- Choose sculptural, current-day materials for what the living room already needs: a sofa, a coffee table, an area rug and a media console.
- Favor clean-lined, sculptural forms over anything boxy or ornate.
- Rely on a floor lamp and layered ambient light for the evenings in place of one central overhead fixture.
- Stop short of hidden storage cabinetry and unbroken wall surfaces — that reads as minimal, a related but different look.
