Modern living room furniture fashions and variety
Should your modern living room furniture be highly fashionable or should it be utilitarian? This depends on what you want to do and who will be using your living room
Let us imagine and empty living room. Nothing on the floors; no mat, no pictures, no TV. Just exactly like it was when the builders handed it over. Now we are going to create a living room for our family and for that we are going to decide on the styles of modern living room furniture that will suit us.
The decisions you have to make about the modern living room furniture are manifold:
· What type of TV, entertainment centre and where will it best be placed?
· Styles and colours of sofa and armchairs.
· Carpets and mats
· Coffee and side tables
· Lighting and Lamps
· Consoles
· Wall decorations
· Curtains, cushions and soft furnishings.
The Modern day entertainment centre tends to be dominated by a big flat screen TVs. This may be attached to the wall or stand on a low console on which is the DVD player and hi-fi set is placed. The older style of having a TV which fits into a closed cupboard is no longer part of modern living room furniture.
Sofas and armchairs are very much the issue in modern living room furniture. In a recent magazine a totally rectangular sofa and matching armchairs is shown fully upholstered in gold is displayed. In order to carry such a suite off one would need a special room, probably painted black with strong lights. But sofas do not have to be like that. There are many modern sofas which have up-to-date hardwearing fabrics available. Depending on the size of the room a two and a three seater sofa with two matching armchairs would make most living rooms complete.
If the living room is not carpeted then one will almost certainly need a mat big enough to cover the open space. Even if it is carpeted then throw rug may be desirable. These are obviously available in the colours and styles to match the fabric of your sofa and armchairs. modern living room furniture is clearly incomplete without a carpet on the floor.
It is important to put tables in front of the sofas and side tables next to the armchairs to enable the occupants to put their glasses and plates and books and magazines on. If your family is in the habit of eating in front of the TV this becomes doubly important. With modern living room furniture coffee and side tables are available in many different styles. What is important here for is that they are of a suitable height and size so that they are convenient to use.
Lighting and lamps will depend on the colour of the walls. If you choose very modern living room furniture, such as the gold lounge suite mentioned above, then you may need very strong lights to offset the black walls. Standard lamps and sidelights are a lot softer than a central ceiling light. It is also almost nicer to have light coming from behind if you are reading. Consoles should match the rest of your living room.
