Have you ever wondered what role the floor plays in the perception of your living room? In the world of interior design, floors for modern living rooms are a main element that defines the character of the space. Choosing the right type of floor can make the difference between an impersonal atmosphere and a living room with soul.
In this article we present the main trends in floors for modern living rooms, with a focus on natural wood, a material that combines warmth, style and durability. In addition, we will show you examples of collections from Yvyra, a benchmark in high-end wood flooring, to inspire you to transform your living room into a unique space.
Current trends in floors for modern living rooms
In the midst of the boom in minimalist and functional interiors, wood floors continue to be the preferred choice of architects and decorators. The reason? Their ability to adapt to different styles — from the rustic style to the industrial— and their natural contribution to the aesthetics of any home.
1. Wide planks and XL formats
Modern living rooms go for large-format wood floors, which visually enlarge the space and create a cleaner aesthetic. The 1OAK Único collection from Yvyra offers European oak planks in finishes such as Brisa, ideal for achieving that highly sought-after continuous effect.
2. Matte finishes
Matte finishes are trending in wood flooring. They bring a contemporary and sophisticated feel to the living room, and also better conceal footprints and wear. At Yvyra, many models in the Millésime collection combine this finish with a handcrafted aged effect that enhances the natural grain.
3. Neutral and natural tones
Colours such as light oak, stone grey or sand are perfect for modern living rooms. These tones bring brightness, combine with straight-lined furniture and create a neutral base that never goes out of style.
Modern alternatives that imitate wood
Although natural wood is irreplaceable, some users opt for floors that imitate wood, such as technical or laminate flooring. Yvyra offers solutions such as:
- Exterpark Tech Cube: technological floors with real wood finish, moisture-resistant, ideal for living rooms with access to terraces or patios.
- Magnet Bamboo: innovative invisible fixing system with sustainable materials and high resistance to wear.
These options are practical for those seeking aesthetics and functionality with even lower maintenance.
How to choose the best floor for your modern living room
Before deciding which floor to install in your modern living room, we recommend considering these aspects:
- Use of the space: is it a high-traffic area or more decorative?
- Natural light: light tones visually enlarge and reflect light better.
- Overall decorative style: choose a floor that harmonizes with walls, furniture and textiles.
- Long-term budget: natural wood requires more initial investment, but offers greater durability and added value.
- Maintenance: oiled collections allow localized and easy repairs.
In this way, choosing the best floor for modern living rooms means finding the balance between aesthetics, functionality and durability. Whether you go for the authenticity of natural wood, such as those offered by Yvyra in its 1OAK Único, Millésime or Carácter collections, or prefer technical options that imitate its look, the important thing is that the floor reflects your lifestyle and elevates the design of the space.
From matte finishes to floors with history, from neutral tones to rustic woods, at Yvyra you will find the perfect solution to transform your living room into a modern, cosy and characterful space.
