A modern living room is increasingly expected to serve multiple purposes, combining relaxation, work, socialising and everyday living. As a result, interior designers are placing greater emphasis on surfaces, finishes and colours that balance practicality with long-term style.

Wood-inspired décors remain central to this direction, offering warmth and authenticity while supporting both contemporary and classic interiors. Suppliers including Interprint and Schattdecor highlighted oak and walnut finishes as key materials for adaptable living spaces.
Among the featured designs, Tailor Oak was presented as a restrained interpretation of classic oak, with subtle grain patterns suited to both large and small applications. Redwine Oak introduced deeper, warmer tones inspired by wood stained with red wine, creating a more expressive but still balanced aesthetic.
Schattdecor's Lindberg Oak was positioned as a neutral base for varied colour schemes, while Nogal Mediterraneo offered a darker walnut look aimed at more refined interiors.
Manufacturers say consumers now expect surfaces that not only meet aesthetic preferences, but also withstand daily wear, changing humidity and cleaning products. Durability and easy maintenance are therefore becoming as important as appearance.
Another growing focus is sustainability. Long-life materials with timeless styling are increasingly preferred, reducing the need for frequent replacement and supporting more responsible interior design choices.
Retail brands including IKEA and JYSK also showcased complementary furniture and accessories designed to create calm, functional spaces.
The result is a living room concept built around flexibility, natural textures and enduring appeal.
