The Living Room Décor Styles Happening Right Now

Coming up with a direction for updating your living room décor and furnishings isn’t always easy. Even if you’ve found some new pieces at the furniture store that you’d like to add, and colours you prefer, putting it all together can be the real trick 

Try These Very Timely Living Room Décor Ideas

Being too “on trend” can have its drawbacks because the next new trend is just around the corner. The following ideas are designed to help with recent shifts in how we use our living rooms, including spending more time at home, and even working from home, but with the staying power to not be outdated too soon. 

Zoom-Call Friendly

You might enjoy the shift to working from home, but not all of us like the idea of inviting work colleagues into our inner sanctum. Still, it’s a reality for the foreseeable future and you can consider updates to your décor that make the perfect setting for your video meetings.

This rustic black bookcase is a great way to showcase items that you don’t mind sharing with others and provide an interesting backdrop for your videos, while not opening up the entire room to prying eyes.

Create a Multi-Function Space

If you’re in a small condo or townhome, your living room/dining room may need to double as a workplace. Collapsible or swivel desks and dining tables that can expand during office hours are a great way to have workspace when needed, and living space at other times.

Indoor Gardens

With more time spent indoors, especially as we head into winter, the more outdoors you can bring inside, the better. In addition to fitting into every décor, greenery helps keep the air inside your home clean and fresh, and it also makes a great Zoom call background!
