Blue + White Den Progress – Rug Roulette

October 10, 2017
  • Share

Caution. This story features pictures of my blue + white den decor in progress. This is an unfinished project that I am bringing to you well before it is done.  You might say “That’s not smart” and “Why would she do that?” and “Shouldn’t she just show the picture perfect stuff here?” and “Clearly she didn’t consult with her best friend who would have told her to finish decorating the room up and then show it…”.  Most design savvy folks would of course wait for the tahdah moment when all is beautiful and then share on their well read website!  “Not I” said the fly.  Remember, I have that thing my friends and I call OSS (over sharing syndrome).  I cannot help myself…I have so many ideas and thoughts swirling around in my mind that they just spin out of the vortex and end up here on the blog.  This OSS means I end up not at all following the norm…when I get excited about something…I cannot be discreet.  I must share.   Anyhooo…this story started when 10 COCOCOZY rugs were delivered to my new house…

BEFORE– Here is a photo of the den before I moved into the house.  It had faux finished walls and saltillo tile floors.  Kept the floors. Painted walls white.

When I moved into this house, the little den was being used as a guest bedroom.  It had western themed faux finished walls – cute and part of what the owner was trying to do with the decor but too dark and not my style.  I immediately painted everything bright white (Benjamin Moore Super White). I got a slipcovered sofa (with two different blue slip covers) and then decided to let the decor kind of come together.

A few weekends ago, the den decorating got an injection of style when I had ten of rugs delivered to my house.  The special thing about this delivery is that they were all rugs from my collection!  Was soooo exciting to have rugs that I designed at my disposal for decorating my new spot.  So I went on a rug switching out frenzy for one morning.  This small blue + white den in the back of the house was privy to two rug swap outs and a few sofa slipcover changes.  The color scheme in den is blue and white.  The den is a work in progress…not done yet at all.I still need to hang art on the walls to make it truly cozy.  Also, bestie AM says I will need some bold color added in.

 

Okay so back to the work in progress in this blue and white den.  Here are 3 looks ( or 4 … al kind of similar).  Which would you pick?

BLUE WHITE DEN – LOOK 1 (below)

My sister loaned my her midcentury modern black Paul McCobb table for this room.  It goes well with the COCOCOZY Oxford Rug

Love the crystal blue color of this Glace Rug. This rug comes in 3 other colors.  I will be trying a few of those out too!

BONUS LOOK – TWO TONED SOFA (below)

This one…I mixed up the sofa instead of the rug.  Mix matched slipcovers to make a two toned sofa.  What do you think!

For this rug roulette, I used the following COCOCOZY rugs and accessories:

COCOCOZY Oxford Rug

COCOCOZY Glace Rug

COCOCOZY Logo Throw

Was so fun using items from my collection in my house.  Right now the Glace rug in crystal blue is in the den.  I also have red rug that I will try out this coming weekend.  Please weigh in…let me know which look you are leaning towards.  Next up…art…maybe even some window coverings.

Happy Tuesday!

    Love all your rugs, but three works best because of the scale of the design. Great house!

    Definitely not the two toned sofa. Navy sofa and glace rug is my pick! Simpler, cleaner, more sophisticated.

    I like blue sofa & rug together the best in look 1 but way too much blue & pattern with the pillows and throw for me…needs a pop of different color (orange or green) or a neutral to balance…However I LOVE the light blue linen sofa & leather poof in look 2 but not with the rugs…they seem like different looks to me…. linen & leather casual… rug seems more glam …
    Keep playing!!
