L’appartamento è collocato su una collina dei Parioli ed è stato acquistato da uno straniero che, inizialmente è venuto in Italia a studiare la lingua e poco dopo ha deciso di comprare una casa nella città eterna. L’appartamento di circa 100 mq. è collocato all’ultimo piano di un palazzetto costruito negli anni ’40, ed ha due terrazze, una alla stessa quota dell’appartamento e la seconda è il lastrico solare corrispondente alla copertura del suo appartamento. Gli edifici circostanti mantengono dall’edificio un’ottima distanza tanto da consentire all’intero appartamento, che si affaccia su quattro lati, una buona privacy. L’intervento su questo spazio è stato totale. L’obiettivo che ci siamo posti in questa ristrutturazione è stata elevare il livello di tecnologia dell’intero spazio per avere un comfort abitativo ideale. Per ottenere questo, la prima cosa decisa è stato il riscaldamento/raffrescamento a pannelli radianti a pavimento e soffitto, annullando in questo modo gli antiestetici radiatori sotto le finestre e guadagnando così piccoli spazi destinati poi a librerie. La seconda, l’acquisizione di pannelli fotovoltaici, la coibentazione termica di tutte le pareti esterne e del lastrico solare, l’annullamento dei ponti termici. La terza decisione è stata quella sui materiali di rivestimento; per la ricerca ci siamo recati nella zona di Carrara ed abbiamo girato nelle cave di marmo dove la scelta è caduta sul Calacatta Oro, un marmo di particolare pregio tagliato a macchia aperta per rivestire pavimenti e pareti dei bagni. La distribuzione planimetrica è stata totalmente rivisitata, l’ambiente soggiorno, di circa 50 mq., ha una grande vetrata e la cucina è stata lasciata a vista. L’idea è quella di uno spazio vissuto a tutto tondo, dove non esistono schermi tra le funzioni del living. Un camino al Bioetanolo è stato posto a diaframma tra l’ingresso e l’area living ed uno schermo con proiettore escono dal controsoffitto in sostituzione del classico schermo TV. La fornitura della cucina è stata realizzata da Boffi ed è l’unica parete arredata dell’ambiente, al centro una grandissima isola, che ospita il piano cottura, è realizzata con un top in granito nero. Nella zona notte ci sono due stanze da letto e due bagni. Le pareti interne sono state trattate con un prodotto della Kerakoll Design House, che crea un effetto materico sulle pareti dell’intero spazio, ed il battiscopa è stato inserito nello spessore delle pareti. Gli infissi, a taglio termico sono privi di cornici e sono complanari alle pareti. La planimetria è stata totalmente stravolta ed al volume catastale dell’immobile è stata aggiunta una serra captante con l’obiettivo di rendere performante energeticamente l’appartamento riducendo in tal modo i consumi energetici interni. Le terrazze sono state rivestite con un pavimento flottante in legno hi-tech (farina di legno grezzo derivato da scarto selezionato e da una componente plastica ecologica), semplicissime fioriere circondano i perimetri delle terrazze con spalliere di Agrumi ed una vela retrattile ombreggia una delle terrazze. Tutte queste lavorazioni hanno richiesto più di un anno, nel quale non poche difficoltà hanno protratto i tempi di chiusura del cantiere. Il risultato finale sia in termini di comfort abitativo che sotto l’aspetto estetico ha soddisfatto le aspettative del cliente e della progettazione, pertanto posso dire tranquillamente che siamo pienamente soddisfatti di quanto ottenuto.

This project was a complete renovation of a 2 bedroom apartment, we did the living room, dining room, kitchen, bathrooms, a powder room. We introduced our concept to the client to open space and make it more functional. The client had a specific vision of how they wanted the apartment to look, which was an off-white home. We played with different tones of white, incorporating some of the client's personal items. We were happy to deliver the concept and satisfy the client with our services.

Dark grey furniture has been used in this open concept living/dining/kitchen space to maximize the sleek and sophisticated look of this modern home. Coupled with the rich dark mahogany wood used throughout the space it creates a very urban masculine feel. White walls and limestone accents like the ribbon fireplace surround keep the room bright and airy as do the enormous sliders that bring that much sought after indoor/outdoor living style.

Modern Living Room Design Photos with White Floor

A living room, often referred to as a lounge room in Australia and New Zealand, is the hub of the home. If you only have one living room in the house, it’s likely to serve multiple purposes: be it a place to watch TV, play games, spend quality time with family or hang out with friends. If you have the luxury of two living areas, one is usually a formal living room or lounge room, reserved for reading, relaxing and entertaining. A successful modern living room design is inviting, has enough seating for the whole clan – a comfortable couch is a must – and encourages conversation. Browse photos on Houzz for living room layouts, furniture and decor, and strike up a conversation with the interior designers or architects of your favourite picks. For even more modern living room ideas, check out the Stories section on Houzz.

Which modern living room layouts will work best for you?

Every living area will have design challenges. A long, narrow lounge room, for example, risks looking like a hallway if furniture is lined up against the walls. Instead, opt for small furniture items, like a cosy two-seater couch, and create various focal points throughout the space. In square living rooms, a symmetrical layout encourages a formal setting. Place seating on either side of the room, with a focal point in the middle to pull the room together. For a truly intimate vibe, replace your couch with some occasional chairs positioned around a coffee table or ottoman. This will make the main focus conversation. An open-plan home – one where the lines are blurred between kitchen, dining and living – may require a layout that focuses on definition. You’ll want to make sure furniture doesn’t block the flow between spaces, and instead use something like an area rug to create zones.

How can you decorate your living room?

The living room can be a place in which to show off your personality, but if you want a timeless living room scheme, stick to neutral walls, couches and ottomans. Colour can be added through accessories, and is a lot more interchangeable! Rugs, cushions and throws are great for adding colour, while mirrors, lamps and ceiling lights will set the mood. Make your modern living room unique by including family heirlooms and photos. For a polished look, try creating a coffee table vignette – you could use books as pedestals or group items together on a tray. Try adding a vase, a mixture of round and rectangular objects and some books.

What are some small living room ideas?

Small living room designs can be tricky to work with, but aren’t doomed to fail. Often, you just have to get creative with furniture. An open-back chaise can create a sense of spaciousness, while small side tables paired together can substitute a coffee table. Even better, an ottoman can be used as a footrest, coffee table or extra seating. Big furniture items like the couch are best kept in light colours, and if there’s room for a coffee table, a glass-top one is best. If you have two spaces in one – perhaps your modern living room sits in front of a single-wall kitchen – make sure they are connected by decor, colour and style. For definition, just add area rugs, or use your couch as a dividing wall. It’s worth having a few furniture pieces, whether a bookshelf, couch or entertainment unit, in the same colour as the walls, too, so they blend into the room and visually expand the space.

Is open-plan living for you?

Today’s homes often embrace open-plan living, whereby the living room runs off the kitchen and/or dining areas. Open-plan living allows greater functionality, but can risk creating a vast, soulless space if not done right. To avoid a cavernous feel in an open-plan design, define areas with furniture, rugs and lighting, or consider using a wall divider. Also be sure to keep flooring, lighting and materials consistent throughout, for cohesiveness. Noise may be an issue – someone banging pots and pans while you’re watching TV, for example – so include lots of soft modern furnishings, such as rugs, curtains and couches to help absorb the noise. You will also need to factor in plenty of storage, so mess is kept at bay.
