10 TYPICAL GERMAN LIVING ROOMS – IS YOURS ONE OF THEM?

As we all know, tastes differ, but there are some things that we all have in common. These include, for example, certain things that are important to us when furnishing a living room. After all, who among us isn't proud of their cool, indirect lighting, their XXL couch or their designer carpet? We bet that you'll recognize yourself in the following 10 pictures. And we all have at least one friend who loves a wall unit, right?

1. Natural colours

Natural colours create a homely atmosphere in modern living rooms. All shades of brown are particularly popular on walls, floors and furniture. The colour alone brings calm to the four walls.

2. Functional furniture

A normal sofa that you can simply lean on does not meet all the requirements that Germans have for their furniture. It is best if something can be changed in terms of height, orientation or even configuration. A couch where you can adjust the backrest to your favourite position is a good start!

3. Country Chic

Not only natural colours but also natural materials are finding their way into German living rooms. Natural stone and wood are the materials that are most popular for giving a room an individual look. Combined with different wall colours, this can create either a rural, rustic or maritime style.

4. Unusual ideas with character

Living rooms must have character! That's why personal mementoes, unique decorations and unusual textiles are welcome. The pattern of the textiles can be a little more unusual, the more lively the furnishings will appear.

5. The classic combination

Black and white is a combination that never goes wrong in the living room. Combining contrasting furniture creates an elegant ambience that exudes class. The stylish room is crowned by a fireplace.

6. Retro charm

Kidney-shaped table, wing chair and retro colours - a nostalgic living room stands out from the crowd. The choice of colours and decoration is not overdone so as not to overdo the charming style. However, you will look in vain for plain white walls here.

7. Floor-to-ceiling cabinets

They will probably never go out of fashion: floor-to-ceiling cupboards or wall units. Tailor-made, they fit perfectly into the room, offer storage space and, at best, are a cool design object. And each of us knows these cupboards either from our youth or has friends who have integrated the modern version into their home.

8. Comfortable seating area

The seating area is the be-all and end-all in the living room. It should be as large and comfortable as possible: a well-padded seat and a comfortable backrest are a must. If it doesn't invite you to make yourself comfortable all evening, it's out of the question.

9. Lighting effects

Germans love indirect light and therefore prefer to use false ceilings to let their lighting technology run wild. This not only shows that you have a feel for trends but also means you always have romantic lighting ready when you need it.

10. Scandinavian minimalism

Light colours and wood - that's the simple combination for a successful Scandinavian style. Large windows and various artificial light sources ensure that the room is sufficiently lit and you can feel the Scandinavian lightness.
