What defines Modern Chalet?

Modern Chalet design is composed of warm earth tones (think rich greens, oranges, reds, and browns) combined with modern furniture to create sleek, clean lines. Add texture to bring the whole ambience a sense of warmth, and you’ve got Modern Chalet.

Modern Chalet Furnishings

The living room is the heart of the home and should be styled as such. Our design experts put together a collection of living room design ideas featuring Modern Chalet inspo. Select one or two pieces, or go the whole nine yards, and you’ll be on your way to a gloriously warm and modern home.

The rug features muted tones of charcoal, rust, and sandy beiges to instantly bring a sense of space and cohesion to a living room. The rug is outlined with furniture designed to solidify the Modern Chalet aura. The green sofa features clean, modern lines while the velvety fabric brings warmth to the room. The complementary leather chair features a sleek wood base around its entire bottom edge giving it a striking silhouette. The leather itself tips its hat to traditional chalet designs highlighting lots of leather, furs, and antlers. Both the sofa and chair are made complete by topping them with an assortment of throw pillows and blankets adorned in different fabrics and textures to create a warm, layered look.

The seating options are accompanied by a black glass topped coffee table and a Sloan accent cabinet and sideboard. The later two feature charcoal coloration to compliment the rug, along with iron exteriors and natural wood interiors to bring depth and warmth to the room. The multi-textured table lamp completes the look.

The Modern Chalet look is completed with artwork starring Highland Hank in sepia tones to align with the warm feel of the room design. A potted plant brings an element of nature, vases finish off empty shelves in elegant style, and jute storage baskets provide space for additional throw blankets or pillows.

Look for tables and bookcases featuring warm wood tones, and other earthy elements, such as metal or stone. Add artwork to the space highlighting traditional chalet themes, such as bovine, bear, or deer, or nature in general.
