We’re showing you how to create a modern western living room with these 17 home decor must-haves!

Is anyone else obsessed with the show Yellowstone, like we are? It’s possibly one of the best shows we’ve seen in years, and it’s a little embarrassing to say that we are being a bit influenced by it.

Lately, we’ve noticed that we’ve been drawn to a more modern western design style. We love the rich, dark wood accents and the mix of antique and modern pieces to make such a beautiful, warm and inviting space.

We thought it would be fun to show you how you could piece together some items to create a modern western living room in your own home.

We created a mood board (like we do when designing spaces for clients) and the 17 home decor must-haves to purchase to recreate the look in your home!

This post is all about how to create a modern western living room.

How to Create a Modern Western Living Room

Characteristic Elements of a Modern Western Design Style

Dark Wood
Rustic Decorative Pieces
Geometric Patterns
Rich, Warm Colors and Tones
Lots of Natural Textures
Curved Furniture
Some Furniture and Lighting Fixtures with Clean Lines

To create this design style in your home, you want to have a balance of rustic elements and clean, modern elements.

For example…you could add a textured geometric rug with a modern, round coffee table. Or, a rustic stone side table with a sleek, black table lamp on top.

Again, it’s all about balance, layering textures and creating a warm environment.
