Choosing the right furniture for a modern apartment is not just about decoration, but also about functionality, optimizing space, and creating overall harmony. With the limited space of apartments, each piece of furniture needs to be carefully considered to be both beautiful and convenient. Below are the essential pieces of furniture that every family should have in a modern apartment.
1. Sofa – The soul of living space
The living room sofa is the most important piece of furniture in the family's common living space. This is not only a place to rest and relax but also the center of family activities and entertainment. A properly chosen sofa will create an impressive highlight for the entire living room.
2-3 seater sofas are usually the ideal choice for most apartments. In terms of material, leather sofas bring luxury, are easy to clean but are expensive, fabric sofas come in many colors, diverse patterns, are more affordable but require more careful care.
Sofa color also plays an important role in creating a style for the space. Neutral tones such as gray, beige, white will easily combine with other items and create a spacious feeling for the room. Bold colors such as navy blue, chocolate brown can create strong accents but need to be carefully considered in terms of the overall design.

2. Tea table – Compact but convenient
The coffee table is a great assistant, creating a connection point between the sofa and other areas. Glass coffee tables, monochrome marble or industrial wood tables with minimalist designs are all very suitable. Many modern coffee tables are also designed with storage compartments underneath, helping to optimize storage space.
When choosing a coffee table, pay attention to the proportions with the sofa. The height of the coffee table should be equal to or slightly lower than the sofa cushion for ease of use. The length of the coffee table should be about 2/3 of the length of the sofa to create balance. A beige sofa combined with a natural wooden coffee table will create a cozy space, close to nature.

3. TV shelf – Optimize decoration space
TV shelves play an important role in optimizing decorative space, contributing to balancing the layout of the living room. Modern TV shelves are often designed with many compartments, which can hold different electronic devices, making the space more neat and tidy.
There are many styles of TV shelves to choose from such as wall shelves, floor-standing shelves, corner shelves, etc. When choosing a TV shelf, you need to ensure the right size, a shelf that is too large will make the space cramped, a shelf that is too small will be unbalanced and not have enough storage function. In addition, the color of the shelf should be consistent or slightly contrast with the wall to create a subtle highlight.

4. Decorative lights – Highlights for space
Lighting is an important element in interior design, and decorative lights are the “weapon” that helps the space become warmer and more prominent. In addition to ceiling lights, you can use floor lamps, table lamps or pendant lights depending on each area in the house.
Floor lamps placed next to the sofa will create a gentle, luxurious feeling, especially in the evening when you only need a little light to relax. Dining table pendant lamps or LED string lights are also very suitable for small spaces, both saving space and creating beautiful lighting effects.
Note, yellow light creates a warm, relaxing feeling; white light is suitable for the working area or kitchen. If you skillfully combine the types of lights, you will see that the living space becomes much more attractive and "soulful".
