Modern Urban Living Room with a Scandinavian Look

Truth be told, there's a bit of everything in this living room design, but it all makes sense with the right elements. From afar, you get a modern urban aesthetic with mid-century touches. Still, you'll notice some small eclectic features and Scandinavian shapes for a truly unique living room space if you see closely. Two rugs are used to help define the areas. A pair of comfortable armchairs and a beautiful brass arch lamp create an intimate conversation zone in front of the fireplace, which can easily be shifted slightly for larger social gatherings. Soft upholstered ottomans provide both table surfaces and additional seating options; the round cushioned surfaces are great for kids. The artwork features abstract forms and a neutral color palette to bring back that urban modern design aesthetic we wanted for the whole room.

We decided to give Spacejoy a try and so glad we did. Couldn't be happier with how our room turned out.

I absolutely loved working with Spacejoy! From the technology that was able to render my apt to a tee, to the personalized 1:1 moments working with my designer Lauren, the whole experience was worth while. Lauren incorporated everything I said I needed and wanted I can’t believe my apt looks as amazing as it does. Can’t wait to update and utilize the space!

About this design

Who doesn’t love a modern urban living room with a touch of Scandinavian? Frankly, there's a bit of everything in this living room design, but it all makes sense with the right elements. The moody charcoal gray walls add character to this light-filled living room, while the brown sofa is a signature piece complementing the twin leather armchairs. The two rugs seen in different shades are another highlight which helps define the area. The upholstered ottomans act as a table surface and an additional seating option. And, the color grey of the two accent chairs near the fireplace is not accidental harmony. Balancing the outlook, are the scattered throw pillows seen on the gray chairs. The fireplace achieves an elevated, woodsy design. The light color of the brick may have gotten lost on the wall before, but with the bold, black inner look, it completely stands out.
