"Furniture on legs is a reference to timeless fifties, so this sofa is my favorite," says Ekaterina.

The walls can be painted in white, light gray or sandy shades. Then the living room won't feel dark, and saturated colors of the sofa, sideboard, frames and loft light fixture will set the right contrast in the room.

For this variant, the designer based her concept on gray color. "Combination of gray, white and light wood is one of the most successful in interior design," Ekaterina believes. "But don't forget about color accents, otherwise you might end up with a monotonous room instead of a neutral one."

The designer recommends choosing vibrant textiles and laying a colorful carpet on the floor — it will tie together the sofa, console table and TV sideboard. Attention to detail is important: for example, metal in the light fixture design echoes the legs of the console table, and decor contributes to comfort and mood.

In the focus of this living room is geometry. The designer introduced it using graphic lines in the shelf, console table and light fixture.

Another great trick is rich, vivid green tones. Against a backdrop of minimalist furniture and neutral shades, green makes the interior lively and fresh. Those who love Scandinavian simplicity and lightness will appreciate the plush carpet on the floor.
