Modern luxury living rooms

The living room is the room where we usually combine leisure with work when we are at home. It is the space where we watch television, read, use the computer or spend time with the family. To create modern luxury living rooms it is important to opt for colors that help to gain luminosity.

Ecru and light tones, such as white, are an excellent choice to enhance the light in luxury living rooms. This chromatic range is ideal because it also translates into elegant atmospheres and focuses all the attention on the decoration of the space. White is perfect for combining with the colors of the furniture and does not overload the decoration.

This type of living room is a good letter of introduction to our home. If you want to achieve a living room with personality, character and a refined style, the classic style is made for you. It is perfect for decorating large spaces, as in small spaces we risk overloading the atmosphere.

To decorate a luxury living room in a classic style, the first thing to do is to make the most of the space. The need for spaciousness is important to avoid the room lacking light and being excessively cluttered.

  • Combine warm colors: to enhance the light, a good resource is to combine warm colors. In this way we can give the living room a romantic atmosphere and make the most of the natural light that enters the room. In the absence of light, another solution is to use large lamps on the ceiling.
  • It's time for the fireplace: a large part of the differential touch of a classic living room lies in the fireplace. A piece of furniture with an integrated fireplace is a good option to create an authentic classic style.
  • Wooden pieces and mouldings: wooden pieces and mouldings give a stately air to the living room. Wood is a natural ally to give the living room a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Nordic style in luxurious living rooms

The popularity of the Nordic style has skyrocketed and in recent years it has become increasingly popular due to the harmony and simplicity it conveys. It is a universal style that is ideal for relaxing and unwinding in a luxurious atmosphere. To achieve this, it is necessary to choose the right materials and colors.

The color range is led by white, grey or beige tones. In general, muted colors are an excellent choice, especially if combined with softer contrasts.

In luxury Nordic-style living rooms, the maxim 'less is more' should prevail. Opt for a pleasant atmosphere, with white tables and little furniture. It is important to find points of light to create a pleasant atmosphere, which is especially useful on harsh winter days. Calm tones add an attractive touch and emphasise the spaciousness of the room.

But how can we round off the Nordic style for our luxury living room? The roadmap involves wooden furniture, plants and a sofa with a straight silhouette. Handcrafted ceramic pieces help this room convey serenity.

Vintage luxury living rooms

There are styles that never go out of fashion and are a safe bet for a luxury living room that exudes exclusivity. Vintage style never fails, but you need to have a clear idea of what you want to decorate before you start working on it.

With the vintage touch, the living room decoration has a more antique look but with the highest quality. It is the style associated with elegance, exclusivity and a unique ambience. The vintage style is the opposite of Scandinavian decoration. The muted tones give way to bright and strong colors that conquer the spaces.

This type of decoration for luxury living rooms also involves simple, but very elegant furniture design. Combining vintage-style furniture, which takes us back to bygone eras, with a modern ambience based on a contemporary décor, results in visually appealing compositions.

The charm of vintage decoration will flood the living room with luxury, as with this style you are looking for plenty of natural light to enjoy the finishes, the compositions and the furniture.
