Create a modern living room

Combine neutral furniture with statement lighting and bold black and blue accessories for a contemporary space

The layout

Place a sofa at right angles to the fireplace and the armchair opposite it to echo the shape of a contemporary L-shaped sofa.

Use the coffee table, placed in the centre, as a focal point.

Accessories

Smart patterns and bold silhouettes epitomise modern style.

Leather accessories and statement lighting will complete the contemporary look.

Colours

A monochrome palette creates a modern feel and works well with the contrasting tones of light oak and the darker leather finish of the chair.
