Inspiration: The Living Room
The living room is arguably the most important room in the house, it is the heart of the home, hours upon hours of leisure time are usually spent here, you may entertain guests here or it may be a hub where the family get together to relax. Whatever role your living room plays within your house, its important to make sure it has a good atmosphere and a personality that is representative of your home.
We have found some inspiring looks to help you start thinking about the design of your own living room.
A streamlined sofa is a really good starting point for any modern living room. Find one in a neutral palette – think white, chocolate or sand – for a really crisp and contemporary feel.

If you would like to inject some more personality into what is a overly safe or seemingly simple space, why not try finding a statement piece upholstered in bold and dynamic patterned fabric. The shape of the piece should remain clean and simple so as to prevent it from being overwhelming but the pattern can be as daring and fun as you like.
Try the Skye three-seat sofa by Jardan, now $3,600 AUD at HFOC.

If you are looking to achieve a relaxed and cozy atmosphere in your living room, think about using natural materials and working to a warm colour palette. Stick to pieces in materials like wood and leather and mix this with large rugs in natural fibres, plush throws and statement pillows. It is an innate reaction in people to warm to things of the natural world, so bring a little nature inside your home to create a comforting atmosphere.
