Getting married is no easy feat and the worse thing to happen to you is to get stuck in an apartment you hate- not really, maybe a divorce. As a new couple, you cannot wait to spend the rest of your life together. Of course, the rest of your life involves spending time in a cosy apartment and enjoying each other’s company when you are not on the road. Thankfully, we don’t have to make do with our parents’ traditional style and can choose a trendy style that says so much about your personalities, while striking a balance between playful, youthful and practical.

Here are living room ideas to inspire new couples looking to renovate their apartments.

Minimalism does not always have to mean bland, boring or dull. Neither does it always have to include furniture with muted tones. Young couples of this age understand that a “less is more” Approach is a perfect way to focus your attention on the desired theme or personality you want to reflect in your home. The white backdrop provides a visual stimulus for the burgundy-coloured furniture and multi-coloured rug. This reflects the occupants as somewhat artsy and vibrant.

One design that would never go out of style is the Scandinavian design due to the eye-pleasing aesthetic of the decor. This bright living room is brought to life with rugs and throws in yellow and blue hues providing a sharp burst of colours that makes the space feel layered and cosy. The inclusion of greenery and sunflowers not only gives the room an airy feel but also that beautiful romantic atmosphere you and your significant other would love

Decorating your home with a musical, film or records theme is an easy way to introduce the hipster theme into your home décor.. A little mess with different instrument lying around or even old classic records will transform your space instantly. These theme strays from the regular décor, they are not afraid of a little clutter and can be as quirky as you want to portray. The beauty of this décor is that it does not require any thoughtful planning, you can never mess it up. You simply have fun with anything that appeals to you whether it’s old lampshades or a little rock ‘n’ roll records show-glass.

What better way to stay in tune with nature than with the earthy tones of wood. This decor embodies all the core values of the rustic design- it is unpretentious, embraces the natural colour palette, it is simple, coarse and spectacularly breath-taking. The natural beauty of this room creates an ambience for relaxation. So go for nature’s touch, sit back, and enjoy a glass of red wine with your significant other in this perfect living room.
