What Defines Modern Living Room Furniture?

Modern living room furniture tends to be slightly more austere than more traditional designs, with simple designs that focus more on function than form, and upholstered with textiles and other materials in predominantly neutral to cool neutral color palettes. Some, however, sport bolder designs and brighter colors. Because of this, there is a great deal of variety and they are highly compatible with a wide range of other interior decor and design elements and can be used to create a simple, minimalist aesthetic.

Why Is Modern Living Room Furniture So Popular?

Modern living room furniture is popular because it appeals to a wide range of tastes and also because it is compatible with many different interior design schemes. The straight, clean lines and mostly simply color tones of most modern furniture are ideal for those who like a simple look and don’t “over-decorate.”

What Is the “⅔” Rule for Living Room Decorating?

The so-called “⅔” rule for living room decorating is all about scale and sizing. If you take a piece of furniture and place it against the wall, it should take up no more than ⅔ of the length of the wall; similarly, the furniture you use in a room should not take up more than ⅔ of the overall space. This allows for some breathing room and a little bit of negative space that allows freer movement and will make the setting feel more open and inviting.
