Let's start with the colors: black & white for your modern living room
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you imagine a modern living room? Well, we would say: brightness! A living room furnished in this style is a bright environment, and we speak both of natural light and of carefully chosen artificial lighting.
How to accentuate the brightness of a modern living room even more? The most effective idea is to choose colors that increase the brightness of the room, albeit in harmony with the furniture in the living area.
Black & white is a timeless charm solution for a modern interior, and this also applies to the living room.

When choosing furniture for the living room it is important to evaluate the style of the furniture without losing sight of its functionality, and in a modern style living area the best compromise is to choose furniture and agile furnishings, with minimal design and that adapt to the airy atmosphere of the room.
Here are three ideas for you to furnish your modern living room with the right furniture, three furnishing elements that we think should not be missing in a living area in this style!
Organize the spaces of your modern living area with a bookcase
A beautiful modern bookcase should never be missing from the living room furniture! Look at this model: geometric design, many compartments to better organize your books, a black shade of great character...
In our store you will find many bookcases like this, essential furniture for the furnishing of a modern living room and which allow you to collect your passions. Objects, discs, pots for plants...books are not the only protagonists of the preparation of these shelving furniture.
Modular or wall-mounted bookcases are splendid ideas for a modern living room: furniture with a light and very useful design to change the look of a white wall and furnish a trendy living area.
An essential piece of furniture for a modern living room: the coffee table!
Another essential piece of furniture to furnish a modern living room with practicality and style is definitely the coffee table, even better if small in size and with minimal design.
A coffee table helps you to characterize even more the "living" space of the house, the environment that we reserve for conviviality and for our guests. That's why a table to be placed next to the sofa will be an extra shelf to use for books, magazines, coffee cups and much more.
Functionality is not everything: a coffee table is a piece of furniture that fully becomes part of a modern living room, especially if in glass or black metal and with a linear and clean design. An idea for the furnishing of the living area that combines beauty and practicality!
Atmosphere and style: the modern living room with fireplace
The modern living room with fireplace is a room that combines trendy furnishings with the discreet charm of the home hearth, a refined and even more welcoming environment. The fireplace must become the main protagonist of the room, perhaps thanks to a large wall clock that enhances it better, a mirror or a television.
Of course, the fireplace is a luxury that not everyone can afford: it is an important investment, often even impossible to achieve. If you don't want to give up this precious piece of furniture you can choose one of the fireplace frames that you find in our online store, fake light and elegant furnishing fireplaces that you can make even more beautiful with LED lights or embellish with small ones metal ornaments. A trendy idea to make your modern living room even more original!
Three ideas for decorating the wall of a modern living room
So far we have talked about furniture for the living room and how to set up a modern and trendy living area by balancing the space with the furniture elements. Now, however, it's time to think about how to decorate the living room wall: here are three ideas for decorating it in the best way!
Choose the most suitable frames to expose your photos
If you decide to decorate the wall of your modern living room with photos, pay particular attention to the frames: in lacquered black they will be perfect, if the wall is white or gray, because they will stand out even more and will become a decorative element.
Displaying photos in an original way is an excellent idea to decorate the wall even if your living room is furnished in a modern style: have fun creating mosaic compositions with your frames and choose a unique palette for the photos, without exceeding too much in colors too gaudy or different. As an alternative to the photographs you can use black and white prints with abstract or geometric compositions, an excellent idea to transform your modern living room into a museum of contemporary art!
Lightness and style: furnish a modern living room with shelves
The shelves are a splendid idea to furnish a modern living room and communicate that sense of lightness and linearity that distinguishes this style. Choosing wall cabinets means giving the room an elegant look while keeping it airy and uncrowded, and this also applies to a modern living area.
On the market you can find an infinite number of shelves in many different sizes, shapes and colors. For your modern living room, choose shelves with a strictly geometric shape and minimal elegance to fill with design objects, knickknacks with a contemporary taste or even some books: the lightness of these furnishing accessories will conquer you and will transform your modern living room into a environment characterized by light geometric shapes and great personality.
All in one! A wall equipped to organize your modern stay
Finally, an idea for the modern living room that is now a great interior design classic: the wall unit! This modular system has managed to evolve a great deal over time, transforming itself from a simple mobile bookcase to a multipurpose solution with an unmistakable style capable of solving many problems of organizing space in one go.
The equipped wall is a perfect piece of furniture for those looking for an "all in one" formula to furnish a wall of a modern living room: bookcase, shelf, TV cabinet, built-in wardrobe...with a system of this like you can make an empty wall much more interesting, set it up with functionality and save a lot of space on the ground.
