The living room is a very important room in the home. We can consider it the center of everything, one of the spaces we spend most of our time in, and where we gather on various occasions. We gather in the living room with family for important lunches and celebratory events, or we spend time with friends over aperitifs, watching a game, or watching a movie. But it's also a space we reserve for ourselves, a place where we can relax or pursue our hobbies.
Choosing the right furniture for this room is crucial, and furnishing the living room with personality will allow us to create a space that is both original and welcoming, without sacrificing functionality. There are various furniture options available for decorating the living room, keeping in mind not only the practicality of the space but also current trends for a sophisticated aesthetic. And, of course, paying attention to customizing the spaces to create a space tailored to our needs.
What can't be missing in a modern, well-equipped, and functional living room?

To be functional and modern, a living room must be furnished with practical furniture that allows us to store and organize our belongings, from important documents to designer objects we want to showcase. Low, colorful sideboards are trending this year , pieces that evoke the aesthetics of old chests of drawers and sideboards, but reinterpret their style and function to meet today's needs.
Lighting is increasingly important. We've seen the resurgence of the table lamp as a decorative object, without losing its functionality, as well as the widespread use of sophisticated floor lamps and colorful , rounded pendant lamps.
The curved line was the protagonist in 2024 and will also be found in 2025; the maximalist style will have an increasingly important place in our homes , especially in the living area, where it is possible to create new and personalized furnishing solutions.
In addition to shelves, designer bookcases, and various types of chests of drawers, we won't give up on the sofa and carpet pair.
It's almost impossible to imagine a living room without a sofa, whether it's a small one or a contemporary open space. The sofa welcomes you, creates a focal point in the room, and is often the fulcrum around which we define our decor.
Choosing the perfect sofa means considering several factors related to the living room's ambience and functionality, as well as the size and space available and the choice of other furnishings. Often, when choosing a sofa, another accessory is also paired with it, in addition to a practical coffee table: a rug.

There are therefore different ways to combine these two products together, we can combine them taking into account the size of the room and the available space, the furnishing style, the color palette that defines the living room, and the type of materials that give structure to the living room.
Rugs and sofas can therefore have similar colors. We can choose the types based on the fabric, or based on the tactile sensations they evoke—a faux leather sofa pairs well with a shag rug for a contrasting effect—but we can also find commonalities starting with style. As for size, the sofa and rug must be well-proportioned for visual balance , otherwise they clash together and create an unsightly dissonance throughout the decor.
The rug should be chosen based on the size of the sofa and the living room, as well as the arrangement of the other furnishings. The sofa can be completely covered by the rug—here, we'll opt for a large rug —or it can extend slightly from each side of the seat. For example, if the relaxation area with the sofa, armchairs, and coffee tables is located in the center of the room, it's best to choose a large rug to encompass the entire furniture set. If, however, the sofa faces a wall, the rug should be placed under the front legs of the sofa. What can be deduced is that a small rug is not recommended when seeking the best furnishing solution for the sofa.
A large rug usually measures 230x160 cm or 290x200 cm , but 300x200 cm models are also available , depending on the manufacturer. The 230x160 cm size is the most popular because it's quite versatile for a sofa rug.
Zen rugs are inspired by Japanese art, specifically ink drawings featuring irregular brushstrokes of color. With a subtle blend of contrasts, achieved through the harmonious use of light and dark, these rugs evoke a sense of peace and balance, ideal for home interiors.
Available rug sizes: 240 x 160 cm, 300 x 200 cm .
The shape of the rug is very important and is another element that helps us create a stylistic match with our sofa. Rectangular rugs remain the most popular because they give a greater sense of continuity with the sofa and visual rationality, as well as order. They are also more versatile in terms of style and aesthetics.
Don't underestimate the importance of irregularly shaped rugs , however. These contemporary solutions are increasingly popular because they pair well with current furnishing styles and add a unique touch of personality. Perfectly round rugs, with smooth edges and a clean geometry, aren't ideal for sofas, but they're perfect for round dining tables.
