How to furnish a modern sitting room

Contemporary furniture, modern sitting room, guaranteed comfort

Minimal design and airy spaces: these are the main characteristics of modern sitting room furniture. A place to wind down, have a gossip or even do some work, the contemporary living room is in fact a constantly evolving setting and, as such, it requires beautiful, functional and above all flexible furniture. Anything spring to mind? Let’s look at some furniture ideas for a modern sitting room!

Wall systems and wall panelling

In modern lounges, each item of furniture is designed with a purpose, everything has a place and must be in its place, blending in with the rest of the home harmoniously. Among the space-saving solutions available, wall systems and wall panelling are winning options owing to their discreet, yet concurrently unique and rigorous presence.

Highly functional and entirely customisable is the Line System, which was introduced in the Mia kitchen and also available in the living room range: supplemented with dedicated accessories, such as shelves, tablet holders and plant pots, the structure furnishes a contemporary living room that matches the kitchen to perfection, thanks also to the warm-coloured base units.

Another valid alternative to modularity in the sitting room is the Metro Wall System, in Anthracite coloured aluminium, from the Sax model: this project is equally customisable, starting from the choice of shelves in a finish to match the rest of the décor. Have you already selected your favourite books, photos and ornaments you want to arrange on the many shelves?

TV and modular units

If you want to achieve a modern sitting room, the TV unit also has to be simple, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be original. The Mood living range for instance offers matching laminate doors and top, with a natural textured effect. Boosting the appeal of the wall, note the open-fronted wall units in Anthracite coloured metal which create a kind of recessed niche, creating an impressive styling impact.

Playing with wall and base unit heights is a good strategy to liven up even the most minimal lounges, adding movement to the entire composition. Take a look at the Evolution living room with metal open-fronted wall units and a glossy lacquered top, details which lend the surroundings plenty of personality.

To heat up the atmosphere of a modern sitting room, break up the colours with a rug, a painting or a designer pouf… then lie back and get comfortable!
