The Living Room

It’s as simple as adding functional yet modern accents. New throw pillow covers and blankets can warm up the space and liven up a plain sofa. Planters are good table centerpieces, especially when you add fresh, colorful flowers.

The key to creating a wholesome living room is picking decor pieces that don’t look like clutter. Consider multifunctional pieces such as nesting living room tables that double as furniture and decor. Similarly, you can decorate your space with plants to bring pops of color and natural shapes and textures to your home.

The answer lies in choosing the right living room accents. Cribsi offers functional pieces with clean lines, geometric shapes, and neutral colors that can transform any traditional living room into a modern, fun space.

When you’re redecorating, one of the first things to consider is your color scheme. Contemporary color schemes often include black, white, and neutrals such as browns and greys. You can start with these shades and add unique pieces that bring pops of color and personality.

At Cribsi, our approach to living room decor involves choosing designs that are both functional yet playful. Modernism and minimalism in interior design need not be drab, but rather, they’re opportunities to accentuate what you care about most, without the stressful distractions.

This is the question that drives us and many of the brands we carry. Our approach focuses on what you care about most and builds around that with items that reflect quality over quantity.

Some seek quiet living rooms as an oasis for reading in solitude. Meanwhile, others prefer hosting and gathering in the company of loved ones. Regardless of your personal choice, begin with function in mind. From there, your designs can be reflected in the personal decorative touches that tell your unique story.

It can be tempting to pick small, contemporary decor pieces for your living room. But if you’re decorating a small space, like an apartment or a condo, small pieces can actually give it a cluttered and clumsy appearance. 

So lean into bigger artworks and try choosing bold frames in neutral colors. A larger, continuous piece adds depth to your walls and makes the space feel a lot bigger.

Decorating with plants can liven up your living room and counteract rugged elements like an exposed-brick wall. Placing potted plants around industrial pieces and furniture can also balance the space and brings a softer touch without diminishing the personality of the pieces.

When exploring modern and eclectic decor pieces for your living room, consider trying the Scandinavian style of interior decor. Do this by incorporating neutral colors and building open floor plans with L-shaped couches that invite guests into the space. A round coffee table and ottomans can also maintain the openness of the space while making it feel homely. 

Scandinavian style also prioritizes texture, and you can experiment with wooden photo frames, embroidered cushion covers, or handmade home decor pieces.

• Opt for furniture with soft edges instead of sharp or hard corners
• Choose rugs in soft fabrics and washable materials to encourage play
• Avoid glass or ceramic decor items, and instead choose wood-cut vases, sculptures, or centre pieces
• Prevent choking hazards by avoiding small trinkets around the living room. Stick to large pieces that are stuck in place on higher shelves.
