Cozy charcoal living room

The wood floor is the warm element in this charcoal room. The sofa and rug sit close in tone, so the amber shelf lighting and the lighter floor keep the seating area from turning into one dark mass.

Designer tips

Warm wood against grey

If your floor is cool grey, introduce warm wood through the coffee table or TV cabinet before adding more grey textiles. The aim is a warm surface you can see from the sofa, not a collection of small orange accessories.

The wall is split into simple areas

A plain TV and low cabinet sit beside a narrower stack of illuminated shelves. Keep one part of a media wall this quiet if the other part holds books, plants and pictures. It gives the eye somewhere to rest.
