Midcentury Yellow, Black Living Room Ideas and Designs

View from the main reception room out across the double-height dining space to the rear garden beyond. The new staircase linking to the lower ground floor level is striking in its detailing with conceal LED lighting and polished plaster walling.

This is an example of a midcentury grey and brown living room in London with grey walls, dark hardwood flooring and feature lighting.

Feature wall tells a special story and gives softness and more mystery to the F&B 'Off Black' colour painted walls. Olive green velvet sofa is a Queen in this room. Gold and crystal elements, perfect American walnut TV stand and featured fireplace looks amazing together, giving that Chick vibe of contemporary-midcentury look.

Mid century modern furniture in teal and mustards give a stylish feel to this compact living room. Floating alcove shelves and a mantlepiece were built set off against striking deep coloured walls painted in Farrow & Ball's Stiffkey blue and Plummett grey. An unused alcove area was zoned to be a useful work space with a two-tone wooden desk. Carefully curated art deco-inspired pieces were also added including an impactful hexagonal gold hanging mirror on the chimney breast; dramatic gold and frosted glass domed pendant lights; and a stylish marble drinks trolley. Whilst other accessories were selected in matching yellow tones.

This townhouse in East Dulwich was newly built in sympathy with its Georgian neighbours. An imposing building set over four stories, the owners described their home as a ‘white box’, requiring full design and dressing. The brief was to create defined spaces on each floor that reflected the owner’s bold tastes and appreciation of the Soho House aesthetic. A ‘club’ style den was created on the raised ground floor with a ‘speakeasy pub’ in the basement off the main entertaining space. The master suite in the eaves, housed a walk in wardrobe, ensuite with double sinks and shower. Throughout the home bold colour, varied textures and playful art were abundant.
