Acquaintance with a photo of trends in the design of a living room in a private house is the first step towards creating a contemporary interior.

Scandinavian style
Scandinavian style to mention first, because it is not a passing trend, but a direction worthy of the title of "new classic".
It requires open light spaces, which are easiest to organize in a private home. This style also supports the desire for sustainability that has been popular in recent years.

- Paint the walls in a light color (white or light gray would be perfect).
- Use wood texture (this advice applies to both furniture and flooring or wall panels).
- Combine modern and vintage furniture.
- Supplement the interior with natural elements (it can be pot plants, dry branches, wicker baskets and even feathers).
- Use diversified textiles (bright pillows, rugs, carpets).
The Scandinavian style is alien pretentiousness and luxury, in return, he proposes to fill the living room with comfort. A room with such an atmosphere is always conducive to friendly and family meetings.
return to menu ↑Boho chic or bohemian interior
Fashion consists of contradictions. Another proof of this well-known truth is that along with the restrained Scandinavian style, designers advise to look at the "hooligan" bohemian interiors.
Boho-chic is a motley combination of bright ornaments, vintage items and folk art objects.
Furniture and decor of the bohemian interior amaze with variety. Classic-style furniture here can coexist with acrylic chairs, and Pushkin’s bust with an African mask.
While the Scandinavian style preaches color minimalism, boho-chic opens the doors for all existing colors and shades.
True, here too, we must not forget about the measure, because the overflow with colors will result in psychological discomfort. Therefore, the basis for the bohemian interior often serve as walls, made in a neutral light scale.
return to menu ↑Metal in the interior
The name of this trend sounds a bit ominous. Immediately for some reason, I recall one of the areas of rock music. Fortunately, metal in the interior and metal in the music are completely different things.
Modern designers show that metal can be used in the interior without the risk of giving it excessive rigidity or coldness.
Particularly welcomes furniture on a metal frame. If you are not yet ready for a large amount of metal, try adding a living room with a copper vase, frame, brass statuette or a lamp.
If metal figurines and vases are too predictable for you, then just remember an idea that is just gaining popularity.
A striking example of such decor are metal interior stickers. It will also be interesting to look at the layout of the parquet with metal inserts.
The most notable trend of recent times is the use of pink gold. Items made of this metal will easily fit into any living room. Brass and bronze were registered in the furniture: table legs, floor lamp stands, sconce fittings.
return to menu ↑Eco-trends
Environmentally friendly does not give up the position is not the first year. In the case of living room design, eco-trends are primarily embodied in the use of natural materials. Relevant natural stone, wooden surfaces, ceramics and wicker furniture.
Designers also encourage the use of rare species of exotic trees. This can be either a piece of furniture or an original accessory.
It is worth noting that the original modernist accessories also fit into the eco-interior.
Any living room will benefit when using "Ecolyuks". So called unique natural furnishings, the manufacture of which requires special skill.
return to menu ↑Geometry
Geometry is welcomed in the decoration of the walls. Designers are actively introducing 3D panels made from various materials: from wood to felt and leather.
In the world of furniture, there is also geometry in the style of Suprematism. But in the case of geometry, it is important to remember the sense of measure. For the living room one or two similar elements would be enough.
Minimalistic living room geometric accents add variety and dynamics. If the situation in the room can rather be compared with creative chaos, a static geometric pattern will help balance the overall composition.
Monochrome decor
Named trend will appeal to fans of restrained elegance. A well-known example of monochrome decor is black vinyl stickers. In addition, you can use black and white photos in black frames.
In comparison with the riot of colors, black and white decor can seem boring. In reality, color exclusion focuses on form and content. It is the monochrome scenes that make you look for the meaning in the decor.

The interior of the living room in a country house is best done from natural materials or very high-quality imitations.
For the living room is ideal composition of black and white images, united by a common sense. It is important that the center of such a composition is at eye level. To create a home gallery, you need a wall free from other elements.
return to menu ↑Topical textiles
Now the texture and quality of the fabric is more important than the ornament and shape. In fashion textiles in all its manifestations. Choosing a sofa for the living room, pay attention to the upholstery made of tweed, velor, boucle, velvet or soft wool. It is important that the fabric like to touch.
Monotonous textiles of basic colors are relevant: beige, gray, brown, etc. Designers recommend combining dissimilar materials of the same color range.The easiest way to do this is by adding pillows and blankets of the same tone, but with a different texture.
If you are attracted by velvet upholstery, pay attention to rich colors such as ultramarine, emerald and tart wine.
Adding a velvet sofa to the living room automatically makes it look more elegant and stylish. Velvet pillows are no worse with this task.
return to menu ↑Fashionable furniture
A living room without upholstered furniture is like a bedroom without a bed. The latest offers from designers delight functionality. A sofa equipped around the perimeter with folding shelves or a mini-bar is useful in any living room.
Solid corner sofas, which can be seen in almost every other living room, are giving way to modular ones. Modular upholstered furniture, as a rule, consists of several separate elements that can be easily transformed depending on the need.
The imposing semicircular forms were replaced by straight lines and sharp corners. In a fashion strict and laconic chairs on a thin metal base.

Modern trends are based on 3 pillars, namely on minimalism, mobility and frame. The simplicity and airiness of forms, the ability to change the lighting scheme is welcomed.
If the design of the living room is more to the modernity, it is worth experimenting with industrial-style chandeliers.
For those who do not welcome brutality, use the equally popular natural style. This direction implies organic forms, natural colors and warm light.
At the peak of demand now the lamps with the ability to adjust the degree of illumination and color.
Special mention deserves the development of the Danish designer Paul Henningsen. He proposes to use for the living room lamps with several levels of coverage that create ambient light.
Another interesting trend is the frosted glass lamps, also known as Milk Glass. Due to the clean lines and clear form, they look great, both in the classic and in the modern living room.

The recognized authority in the field of color is the Pantone Institute. The palette of colors relevant to a particular season is created on the basis of his research. Pantone specialists note that in the near future, rich colors will replace pastel shades.
Already, among the favorites are various shades of blue and green, as well as rusty red. For example, at the recent Maison & Оbjet exhibition, such colors as dark green, olive, cranberry and blueberry prevailed.
