First and foremost, colour is the number one consideration when it comes to thinking about modernising your traditional living room. Here, we can see those bright, vibrant, youthful colours that illuminate the whole room and bring it to life. Modern-day living now is all about these gorgeous bright colours!

2. Electric

It's simple really. Just by introducing the element of electricity into the room can bring your living room into the present day. Install a large, flat-screen smart TV, maybe even a DVD player so you can snuggle up and watch films or your favourite box set. Using warm, electric lighting can modernise your living space and make it feel cosier than ever.

3. Wooden floors

Wooden floors improve the sophisticated look of your living room and therefore modernise its atmosphere. Compared to the carpets of a traditional living room, wooden floors are easier to clean and have a simplicity about them for the minimalists among us.

4. Sublte backlighting

Thee bookcases are lit by subtle LED light that span the length of the shelves. It adds a beautiful modern ambience to the living room! It's perfect compliment to the sophisticated, dark neutral colour scheme thatches living room bathes in.

5. Monochrome colour scheme

Getting yourself a new sofa can help modernise your living room physically – and it's an exciting new development for you, too! The sofas of today are all about comfort and style, so there's always the perfect sofa for your needs.

7. Brand new fittings

Revitalising your living room by fitting in new gadgets can give it a new lease of life. Replacing an old TV with a new one is a simple quick fix for an outdated blemish in the room. You could also install a fitted electric fireplace, like in this living room, which would keep you warm even on the coldest evenings.

8. Spotlighting a feature wall

Another way to start on your way to modernising a traditional living room is to create a statement feature wall, illuminated by spotlights like this living room. Traditional living rooms are quite modest and dialled-back in their colours, whereas modern rooms don't shy away from being the centre of attention.

9. Luxury sound system

Spruce up any typical traditional living room with the latest tech gear! Installing a new sound system connected to your TV can be all you need to modernise the room.

10. Leather

Finally, we have leather! Leather furniture can totally change the comfort and formality of your living room – and can bring it from boring to sophisticated and modern. Best of all, it smells amazing!
