Living Room

Clean-Line Modern Furniture

November 26, 2011
  • Share
Modern living room with grey sofa with two matching ottomans, dark wood floors, accent pillows with Missoni-esque zig zag pattern in yellow, green, grey and white, a block side table and a modern style lamp

Perfect little cozy living room.  Clean-line modern furniture and accessories in grey and white with a bit of Missoni like zig zag thrown into the mix.  Quite charming and easy to understand from a decorating perspective!  No design bells and whistles…but it totally works. Cohesive, inviting and comfy.  Lesson: keeping things simple in design can be just as effective as doing it up.

I might increase the scale of the painting/art hanging over the sofa…it feels a little small to me.  Other than that…this is a nice little space!
What do you think…too simple or just right?  What might you add or change out?

Happy Saturday!

    Yes it works because the sofa is balanced by the floor lamp and the plant, but I agree the painting needs to be MUCH BIGGER. Otherwise a great space and in this case, less is more.

    Definitely agree about the painting.

    Nice, but just doesn’t do it for me. It seems too sterile.

    I love the pillows, they pop like crazy because everything else is so muted and monotone. Great statement!

    Love the grey/white interior with the pop of color…very sophisticated. The texture of the carpet is great with the rest of the materials being quite simple and refined.
    I agree about the scale of the art. It would be nice for it to be larger and perhaps in a darker frame.
    Thanks for posting!

    I was thinking the same thing… I’d go for 1 super-sized piece of art on the wall… That, or either 2 medium sized ones that take up almost the whole wall.

    I love the “less is more” mantra- especially for my home. With so much going through my brain, I need a simple, clean environment to unwind in…

    nice post, thanks for sharing!

Sage and olive aren’t just a kitchen trend, they’r Sage and olive aren’t just a kitchen trend, they’re a whole-house commitment. The right shade shows up in the cabinets, the walls, the vases, the trim, and somehow never feels like too much.
The spaces that get it right pair it with warm oak, aged brass, and something worn-in: an antique dresser, a vintage runner, a hand-thrown vase.

Heidi Caillier Design took this historic San Francisco home and layered floral wallpaper, striped drapery, checked linens, and antique textiles room after room without a single one feeling overdone. Marble mantels, gilt mirrors, brass fixtures, and warm wood floors do the quiet work of holding it all together.
This is what happens when “more” is chosen on purpose.
Save this for the masterclass in mixing prints. 🔖

A great bathroom isn’t just functional, it’s the one room in the house that’s entirely yours. The stone you choose, the way light hits the fixtures, the tub you actually want to sit in. These are the ones that get it exactly right.
Save this for your next bathroom renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Here’s a little throwback toHappy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
Here’s a little throwback to a Labor Day dinner party I hosted a few years ago, and honestly, we’d still do it this way. 🥂✨
Hosting this Labor Day? Keep it simple:
• Set the table with one statement detail + neutral basics
• Choose a menu you can prep ahead so you’re not cooking all night
• Add candles or flowers to make the table feel special
• Serve everything family-style for a more relaxed feel
• Don’t overthink it. The best dinners are the ones where everyone lingers a little longer 🤍
Save this for your next dinner party and send it to someone who’s hosting! 🍽️
