Stylish Living Room Furniture Ideas for a Trendy Home
Your living room or lounge is one of the most important spaces in your home. It's where style meets comfort—a place to entertain guests, relax with family, and unwind after a long day. With the right living room furniture, you can transform your living space into a stylish, functional area that reflects your unique design style. Whether you're looking for the perfect coffee table, cosy armchairs, or smart storage solutions, creating your dream living room is easy with furniture from Hunter Home.
Let’s explore some stylish living room decorating ideas, from creating a focal point with statement pieces to maximising small spaces, all with thoughtfully chosen furniture and decor items.
Sofas, Modulars and Chaises
The sofa is the heart of your living room, so choosing furniture pieces that suit your personal style and comfort needs is essential. At Hunter Home, you’ll find a variety of sofas, modulars, chaises and corner chaises that blend luxury with practicality. For a modern look and spacious layout, consider the Stevie or Madison—low-profile, modern power suites offering customizable configurations for any living area. We also have the Nikolai and Murphy, which feature non-powered modules, perfect for any sitting room or open-plan living.
If you’re after seating arrangements beyond the standard 2 seater or 3 seater sofa for your family room, the Cove, Murphy, or Darci sofas are a great fit, with their plush, inviting seating and modern design. Sectionals are ideal for large living rooms or open-plan spaces, while smaller sofas like the Harper or Gwen are perfect for compact living areas or a transitional living room.
Coffee Tables
A coffee table is more than just a functional piece; it anchors your living space and adds visual interest. It needs to complement your sofa and overall colour palette in terms of style, scale, proportion, and function. Think about your seating arrangement—whether you have a formal living room or a more relaxed lounge area.
When choosing a coffee table, ensure it’s the right size for your sofa and the overall living room layout. A general rule is that it should be about two-thirds the width of your sofa and sit around 6cm lower than your seat cushions.
At Hunter Home, you can choose from various coffee tables to suit your living room design ideas:
- Tabletop: The Sloane offers clean lines and splayed legs, ideal for a modern, airy living room.
- Shelved: The Remy provides storage space for books, remotes, and decor items.
- Storage: The Hugo sideboard is perfect for storing board games or magazines, enhancing both functionality and style.
Consider adding side tables or a shelving unit for added texture and practicality. For a bold statement piece, marble and iron tables paired with leather sofas like the Nash create a sophisticated focal point.
Accent Chairs
Accent chairs are essential in any living room inspiration guide. They can tie together different design elements and add a pop of personality to your living area. Whether you're designing a modern living room or a beach house-inspired space, accent chairs can be a bold statement piece or a subtle addition to your seating area.
Accent chairs like the Colombo and Franco bring a unique blend of comfort and style, perfect for small living room ideas or larger spaces. Pair of chairs with a side table in between, and you’ve got the ideal reading nook. For a modern design, the Aspen armchair with matte black legs offers a sleek, contemporary touch.
If you prefer a traditional yet contemporary look, the Dunstan chair is a great way to add natural materials and earth tones to your room. For more eclectic living room decor ideas, the faux fur Margo or low-profile Pippa chairs make excellent statement pieces.
Entertainment Units
Your TV stand or media console is a key feature of your living room. It holds your electronics, provides storage, and can enhance your overall living room walls and layout. For a modern look, the Sloane entertainment unit offers a natural oak finish, perfect for creating a cohesive, stylish living room.
The Hugo unit combines different design elements—natural oak with vertical ribbing and black metal legs, offering ample storage for a clutter-free living space. For a bold statement, the oversized Boston unit in natural or black oak brings warmth and character to your home decor.
Maximising Small Spaces
Maximising small spaces is an essential part of modern living room ideas, especially for apartment dwellers. Scale is key; a few large pieces, like a statement sofa or an oversized coffee table, or a dining room table, can make your space feel more open and airy. Mirrors, an accent wall, or a gallery wall can create the illusion of more room.
If you're stuck in a small New York style apartment, modular corner suites like the Nikolai or Murphy for small space solutions. Statement pieces like the Monte chaise or bold patterns on throw pillows can also add depth to your living area.
Hunter Home offers furniture arrangements for every space look, from Scandinavian to Art Deco-inspired designs. Our range of living room storage and seating solutions ensures your space feels stylish and functional.
Finishing Touches
Enhance your living room with lighting ideas like pendant lights, floor lamps, or sculptural lighting. Add natural elements such as plants or earthy tones to create a sense of calm. An area rug can define your seating area, while bold art pieces or a feature wall can bring personality to the room.
Whether you’re inspired by mid-century modern, Art Deco, or contemporary living room styles, Hunter Home has everything you need to create a dream living room. Explore our collection for the best living room ideas and transform your living space into a stylish, functional haven where you’ll love spending quality time with family and friends.
