Diwans: The timeless classic for Indian living rooms

2. Contemporary Diwan Set for Living Room

L-shaped sofas have become a staple in contemporary living rooms. Replacing the lounger with a diwan can add some interest by breaking up the straight lines in the rooms. You may exchange the chairs with a diwan to achieve the same effect in a mirroring layout.

Keep the upholstery coloured to maintain the contemporary aesthetic. This will highlight the form of the diwan. The texture of the upholstery fabric will help set the mood. For a warm and inviting space, choose soft and cosy material.
 

5. Pull Out Diwan for the Living Room

A pull out diwan bed design is an excellent opinion for when you do not have a separate guest room. Tall cushions for the backrest will make it a comfortable couch and mattress.
 

Fun and Quirky Ways to Incorporate Diwans

• To create a cosy nook, place it up against a window.
  
• Add it to your study room- a comfortable space for much-needed power naps.
  
• Use a diwan style jhoola to separate your living room from the dining area in an open-plan layout.
  
• Place a small one in the entrance hallway for a comfortable sitting area.
  
• Turn it into a space-saving piece of furniture by incorporating bookshelves along its length.
  
• Add it to your U-shaped seating layout for interesting form and lines.

Diwan Designs to Suit your Interior Design Style

• A neutral-hued diwan with tall back cushions and a rectangular shape fits right in with the modern and Scandinavian aesthetics.
  
  
• A diwan design with clean lines that highlights the wood would work well in mid-century modern inspired rooms. Choose upholstery in a single colour. Earthy colours such as rust, terracotta, burnt orange, mustard yellow, etc., are some options.
  
  
• For a traditional Indian style interior, opt for a diwan with an asymmetric arched back, armrests on both sides and curved legs. For a royal look, brocade and jacquard upholstery are a few options.
  
  
• For a glam aesthetic, choose an elegant shape and make a statement. A monochrome palette with accents of glossy and reflecting material is quintessential to this style.
  
  
• For a minimal design, choose a visually light design. Warm tones of taupes and beige will make it a welcoming space. For a more edgy look, choose black upholstery. Opt out of the armrests on one or both sides for a clean look. Alternatively, keep the armrests and do away with a dramatic backrest.
  
  
• If you're someone who loves experimenting, check out metal diwans instead of wood ones. It could be incorporated in a minimal contemporary style, glam-inspired interior and maybe even modern aesthetic.

Cost of Diwans for the Living Room

The material and design of the diwan are the primary influencers of the price of diwans. The higher the quality of the material and the craftsmanship, the higher the cost to the customer. A well-made piece is generally priced in the range of ₹20,000 to ₹30,000. The rate is, of course, higher for a set.

Average Diwan Bed Price

The diwan bed price, similarly, also depends on the design. This is assuming that the material used to manufacture is of good quality. A cot or a single bed is priced around the same as regular diwans. But the rates add up if it comes with storage solutions. The cost of a double diwan bed will be higher. Depending on the make, it may go up to the range of ₹50,000 to ₹60,000.
