June 27, 2022

In this blog post, we will discuss four popular styles and how to determine which one is the best fit for your home. We will also provide tips on how to make each style look its best. So, whether you are remodeling your living room or just want some ideas for a future project, read on for information on the four most popular design styles!

Modern Style


If you are looking for a clean and simple design, modern style is the way to go. Modern living rooms are typically free of clutter and feature straight lines and sharp angles. Furniture is often sleek and minimalist, with dark wood or metal accents. You can find a modern coffee table designed in just about any shape, from round to rectangular to triangular. The key to achieving a modern look is to keep things simple and streamlined. The color palette is usually neutral, with black, white, and gray being the most common choices. To add a bit of interest, you can incorporate pops of color with artwork or pillows. If you want to go for a truly modern look, consider using geometric patterns in your flooring or wallpaper. 


For example, a chevron pattern is very on-trend right now. Or, if you prefer something a bit more classic, opt for stripes or polka dots.


Contemporary Style


The contemporary style is similar to modern in that it is clean and simple. However, there are some key differences. Contemporary living rooms often have softer lines and more organic shapes. The furniture is still fairly minimalist, but it may have softer edges and plush fabrics. The color palette is usually neutral, but you can add a touch of color with accent pieces. When it comes to patterns, contemporary living rooms typically feature stripes or plaids.


For example, you might have a black and white striped rug with a gray sofa. Or, you could have a plaid throw blanket in shades of blue and white. You can also experiment with textures to add interest. This refers to anything from the fabric of your furniture to the materials used in your flooring or walls.


Traditional Style 


If you’re looking for a style that screams comfort and elegance, look no further than the traditional living room. This design style is defined by plush furnishings, rich colors, and an overall sense of sophistication. To achieve this look in your own home, start by choosing furniture pieces that are timeless in design. Then, add in accents like area rugs, artwork, and pillows in colors that complement your chosen furniture. Finally, don’t forget the finishing touches – draperies or curtains are a must in a traditional living room! 


For example, if your furniture is mostly dark in color, opt for light-colored curtains to brighten up the space. Or, if your furniture is mostly light-colored, choose darker curtains to add a touch of drama.


Transitional Style

Transitional is the best option if you can't decide between a traditional and a contemporary style. This look mixes old and modern design elements to provide an appearance that is both classic and distinctive. Start by selecting furniture with straightforward designs if you want to create this look in your home. After that, add accessories like pillows, carpet padding, and paintings that complement the furniture you have chosen. Don't overlook the final changes because blinds or treatments are a need in a transitional living room! 


If, for instance, the majority of your furniture is dark in hue, think about using light-colored drapes to brighten the space. Instead, choose darker drapes to provide some drama if your furniture is mostly light-colored.


Additional Tip


When it comes to choosing a living room design style, there is no right or wrong answer – it all depends on your personal preferences. However, if you are having trouble making a decision, consider the following tips:


  • Think about how you want the space to feel. Do you want it to be cozy and inviting? Relaxing and serene? Elegant and sophisticated?

  • Look at photos of living rooms in magazines or online such as Pinterest to get an idea of what you like.

  • Think about the colors, patterns, and textures that you are drawn to.

  • Don’t be afraid to mix and match different styles – the goal is to create a space that you love!



Now that you know a little bit more about the four most popular living room design styles, it’s time to decide which one is right for you. When making your decision, take into consideration your personal style, as well as the overall style of your home. If you’re still not sure, don’t hesitate to consult with a professional designer – they can help you create the perfect living room for your needs!
