Ultra-popular in contemporary décor, silver effortlessly exudes modernism. It doesn’t take a lot to add sparkling dimension to your space. Your living room is a communal area, so you want it to look cool but not cold. You can easily create a monochromatic space, but maker sure to have a hint of contemporary color through greenery or metallic accents. Even if your living room is minimal, make sure you have enough seating and cozy textiles to make your guests feel at home.

Black and White Wall Art

Black and white décor is an ideal pairing for a silver and gray living room. As long as you maintain open space and add a few pops of color, you’ll still achieve a comfortable look. Follow these tips from our resident designer, Elimar Lobo Sáenz, to incorporate black and white into your living room:

“Monochrome doesn't mean lackluster. Determining the style you want to achieve is the best way to choose the right way to incorporate black and white. You can choose between a modern feel with splashes of gray and charcoal, or go with a more traditional pop of vibrant color. Try combining your black and white color palette with different textures, like white distressed floor boards, industrial accents, or sleek black furniture. Lean into the stunning contrast of this dynamic duo with a splash of silver here and there.”

As we mentioned before, wall art is one of the easiest ways to add a silvery shift to your living space. Even if the wall art isn’t physically reflective, it will still provide a metallic-style effect. Choose a piece of abstract art for a modern look that will pop in your living space. Contemporary art will transform your living room in the blink of an eye.

Silver and Blue Living Room

Cool colors like silver and blue can create a calming look in your living room. Hang a print with a silver and blue color scheme to tie in the two hues. Other cool colors like light grey, spring green, and navy are excellent accent ideas. Ice blue and silver are an ideal color combo for winter, so there’s no better time to incorporate these shades.
