Classic Grey Living Room with Fireplace Focal Point
This living room project combines a traditional layout with vibrant, contemporary flair. Anchored by a grey backdrop and classic fireplace, the design introduces energy through jewel-toned furniture, playful abstract artwork, and a curated mix of textures. It’s a space that feels sophisticated yet fun , perfect for clients who love character and colour without sacrificing elegance.
Design Board and Inspiration
This living room design was created for a client who wanted to embrace bold colours while keeping the overall look timeless and elegant. The design board brought together a harmonious blend of traditional features and eclectic styling, centred around a grey living room colour scheme with colourful accents. From the outset, the mood board was a celebration of contrast, mixing warm wood finishes with vibrant fabrics, sculptural lighting, and eye-catching artwork.
The concept paired a deep charcoal velvet sofa with contrasting zigzag patterned cushions and fuchsia scatter pillows, instantly adding depth and energy to the space.
A standout magenta armchair was selected to bring in a strong jewel tone that elevates the room without overwhelming it. We layered in a soft vintage-style rug, natural wood finishes, and ceramic accents to balance the bold palette. The design board also featured a modern round coffee table, contemporary lighting, and carefully chosen accessories that would enhance the sense of warmth and personality.
Finished Interior Design
The completed grey living room with statement colours is both dramatic and welcoming. Set against soft grey walls, the focal point is a traditional fireplace with a clean cream surround and warm wooden mantel. This feature grounds the room and brings a classic architectural element to a contemporary layout.
