Modern Living Room Furniture For Your Home

Your living room may be where you receive your guests, but beyond the weekend and the Wednesday night wine - sorry, we meant book - book clubs, it's where you spend your evenings, whether you're reading, watching TV, or simply catching up with your family on how their day was.

When looking to spruce up your living room, you should choose furniture that complements the way you live, and your available space (obviously).

Daily’s living room furniture range is designed to create a space that’s easy to enjoy by all.

Furniture That Makes You Want To Lounge About

Ultimately, your home needs to be comfy, even if you want it to feature in an interior design magazine. It needs to allow for mess and chaos, and nights when you can say "just leave it for the morning".

Comfy-chic is probably what the cool kids call it nowadays. The furniture is a big part of achieving this "comfy-chic" thing we all want. How? Well, first...

1. Start With The Right Couch

The couch is usually the most central piece in the room because of its size, so it helps to plan the layout of your living room before choosing one. Think about where your windows are, how you move through the space (you don't want to stub your toe every other day) and the best spot for your coffee table or TV.

Design Tip:

Neutral tones work well with most styles. For something bolder, you can add textured or coloured pillows and throws.

What To Add to Your Cart?

The Sisi Couch is soft, offering comfy seating in a neutral colour that works with almost anything.

2. Add Accent Seating & Surface Space

Accent chairs and surface spaces bring a living room to life. Extra seating makes the living room suited for board game nights and coffee catch-ups, and the coffee tables provide a focal point for the lounge, helping the layout feel grounded and easy to navigate.

Design Tip:

If your space is tight, consider rounded tables to soften corners.

What To Add to Your Cart?

Surface space: Daily’s Moyo Coffee Table offers enough surface space for books, trays or the usual remote pile. Another option is the IsiLimela Nesting Tables, which are compact when tucked away and easy to shift when guests come over.

Accent seating: Daily's Dinkoro stool blends into the room, making it a treat for guests' eyes when you can pull it out to accommodate them.

3. Don’t Overlook Shelving & Storage

A well-planned living room needs storage and space for display. Pictures, trinkets, books, coasters, Shelving and TV units help reduce clutter and keep things tidy.

Design Tip:

Use these surfaces to declutter the coffee table, and bring a bit of YOU into the space.

What To Add to Your Cart?

The Kwanele Shelf comes in three sizes to best suit the available space or your display desires; it's up to you. Pair it with the Moyo Server & Media Unit for the TV. It keeps cables out of sight while giving you space for speakers or consoles.

Breath Life Into The Living Room

Here are a few modern design tips to keep in mind when bringing it all together:

  1. Match your furniture to your room size, too little can feel empty, too much can feel crowded.

  2. Keep a consistent colour palette. Use accessories to add contrast.

  3. Mix wood, fabric and metal elements for visual interest.

  4. Use multiple light sources, not just ceiling fixtures.

  5. Add a touch of YOU to your space.
