A classic look
The secret to achieving a classic style is to keep your essentials, such as your couch, coffee table, and TV unit, in a neutral color scheme. You may also experiment with the decor and add your own style to the mix.
Neutral color
Consider a neutral colour pallet when creating a classic surrounding, especially when it comes to big-ticket furnishings like your carpet or couch. The key is to make it comfortable and appealing. The classic space is generally decorated in a soothing palette of neutral tones.
Lightwood
Although wood is timeless, colour trends come and go. If you want something that won't go out of style too quickly, it is recommended to go with a lighter shade of wood. Lightwoods are extremely adaptable and can be used in a variety of settings.
Simple lines
Keep it classic with simplicity and no excessive decorations when thinking about the shape of your furniture. This timeless collection incorporates capsule shapes, arches and curves. This laid-back vibe is anchored by wood parquetry patterns and unstructured grids.
Explore the natural
Consider natural elements when it comes to various textiles and embellishments. Other materials that can be used include rattan and woven textures, in addition to wood. To keep your living room warm and balanced, avoid using harsh, bright, or overwhelming tones, textures, or materials.
Ghetto style
A "ghetto" living room combines contemporary and industrial styles while remaining warm and inviting. It refers to an aesthetic that is bold in appearance and feel, with deeper colours and sharper shapes.
Darker tones
With deeper tones and greater contrasting colors, this appearance can be a touch more dramatic. Allow yourself to play around with bright colors against a darker backdrop. The combination of earthy tones with black and white sets this apart from other monotone styles. These will soften the look, keeping it serene and inviting.
Metals and dark wood
Materials such as metal and dark wood are used in a contemporary design, which has a more industrial feel. In a ghetto setting, dark woods and metal go well together.
Get experimental
Big and bold shapes are essential for the ghetto look. The interesting element makes it a fun addition to any space.
Soften the look
Don't confuse a contemporary look with cold and sharp. When it comes to decorating a living room, comfort should always come first. If the look is a little too harsh for you, you can soften it by mixing and matching other materials. To add softness to the space, mix metal and wood, or experiment with plush soft furniture like a shaggy rug or faux fur cover.
