Modern Living Room Furniture Ideas for Your Calgary Home  

Calling all Calgary homeowners and interior decorating enthusiasts! We’ve rounded up the latest ideas to achieve the perfect lounge. Maximize floor space, tie all elements together, and more for a functional and stylish living space.

Without further ado, here are the trending modern living room ideas to spice up your Calgary home. Which one do you want to try next? We won’t blame you if it’s all of them.

 

Highlight Symmetry and Curves

Eye-catching living rooms start with symmetrical designs. Think of forming clean lines when planning your living room layout. Place sofas, lamps, and coffee tables in parallel lines to create a clean, modern look. 

Adding curved design elements will add harmony to all the straight lines. Use rounded single chairs, oval tables, and circular throw pillows to help soften the space.

 

The Beauty of Raw Wood

Raw wood adds a rustic, natural feel to any space. It’s a timeless material that brings warmth to your home. To incorporate wood pieces into your space, opt for an oak coffee table as the centrepiece of the room, or make a statement with a beautiful brown wooden TV console! Style them according to your taste, and they can blend well with the background or stand out.

Chic Living Room Seating Ideas

Creating a sense of flow indoors is essential for cohesive open space designs. Achieve this with unconventional seating options like a stylish chaise longue or daybed, which not only define the room’s boundaries, but also guide the eye. They’ll help maximize space and make the room feel much more expansive.

 

Focal Points as Illusions

Looking for small living room furniture ideas? We suggest creating a focal point in your room using wall art, bookcases, or appliances. Bold features will draw the eye and create the illusion of more space.

 

Comfy and Cozy Sofas

No living room is complete without the perfect sofa. Low-back sofas are out, and sectionals and modular sofas are in. Their customizable shape, plush cushioning, and cozy look make them especially popular these days.

Earth Tones for a Homey Feel

Consider using earth tones when gathering inspiration for your living room. White goes with almost everything, but it can sometimes be too cold and minimalistic. Try something with muted tones of brown, green, and yellow to build a restful space that still has a contemporary look. 

 

Small Living Room Seating Ideas

If you’re limited by space in your small living room, why not try some non-traditional seating options. Try a take on a modern bohemian theme with floor cushions or a hammock to make the most of your precious floor space. If you’re interested in simpler small living room ideas, single armchairs are a great option. 

 

Hidden Storage to Maximize Floor Space   

Every staged living space you’ll see has one thing in common, no clutter. Clutter can make a small living room feel even smaller, and make a larger space feel chaotic. 

Our suggestion is to incorporate storage into your furniture. Options like storage sofas, ottomans, side tables, and decorative objects provide valuable extra storage without compromising style.

 

Plants Add Life to the Space

Looking for the perfect complement to your other living room furniture ideas? Houseplants will help to make your living area restful and inviting for your guests. They brighten up a room and add a needed pop of colour, not to mention their natural air purifying capabilities. 

Place them on the floor or a table in an area with plenty of natural light, such as close to a large window, and don’t forget to water them to keep them healthy. If taking care of live plants is a hassle, artificial plants that look like the real deal would also do just fine. 

 

More Lighting, More Fun

Lately, people have been turning away from harsh, overhead lighting when decorating, and looking instead to softer, warmer light options. Placing a floor lamp in unused corners or hanging a unique lamp on the wall will add style and an ambient glow to the room.

Add Personality With Vintage Items

Vintage furniture is always in style, and no list of living room furniture ideas would be complete without these unique finds. Decorate your lounge with pieces that reflect your personality and add just the right amount of old-school glamour. 

Pro-tip: Display your magazine collection and vintage coffee table books! They’re good conversation starters at home.

 

Take Advantage of Patterns and Textures

Break up white walls and plain flooring by incorporating various patterns and textures into your home. Add carpets, blankets and textured pillowcases to change up your sitting room and give it a lived-in feel.

 

Show Some Love for Dinettes

In condos with small rooms and combined living and dining rooms, a stylish dinette is a great way to have enough seating and take advantage of a small space. This is one of those living room ideas that is both stylish and practical.
