The grand view of the living room of the COCOCOZY Design House from under the archway. Before I had a chance to list the home on the market my sister scooped it up and bought it! She immediately fell in love with the entire home – the exterior, the interior, the layout, furniture everything. She bought it as is fully furnished and hasn’t touched anything. Every time I visit it looks pretty much the same! It’s nice to get to spend more time in this home since the project meant so much to me.
Here is a closer view of the living room. It took a lot of patience to source items that I felt strongly enough that fit my vision, but it was well worth the hunt. I’m so happy with how this space turned out. Through all of my designs, I love to create a layered look without creating clutter. More on the sourcing of items next!
I layered the rugs to create an interesting combination of pattern + texture. Towards the end of the process, I knew it needed a side table. Eventually, it hit me that a clear acrylic side table was the perfect answer! A regular side table would have made the design look bulky. As a finishing touch, I placed some of my own original artwork on the wall behind the chairs.
A closer view shows off the perfect pillows I hunted forever for. I knew I wanted a specific plaid to work with the other black and white patterns. The box on the side table is one of my COCOCOZY lacquer boxes. It was the perfect item to finish out the stack of coffee table books.
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with this corner originally then I stumbled upon the idea of a sleek and simple small sitting area. The pillow on top of the pouf is a one-of-a-kind knit COCOCOZY logo pillow. My mill that knits my throws surprised me years ago with a pillow with my logo repeated. It was such a thoughtful gift!
I love these inset arched shelved so much. They are one of the highlights of the room in my opinion. This art piece is by one of my talented friends/artist Sarah Robarts. The painting looks sensational in this nook with the surrounding pieces.
Another view shows off a close up of the couch. I love the combination of black and white patterns throughout the space and knew the couch needed some print for added flair. When I found this pillow and throw I knew they would be perfect. I added a cream lamp to keep the space bright and light.
For this shelf, I knew I needed to source a variety of interesting trinkets. The flea market ended up being a major jackpot. The brass clocks and hippo bookends are both flea market finds. I love the end color relationship between the warm tones and blues/greens.
For the fireplace, I went with a gold ornate mirror to add some opulence and a luxe factor to the space. The horseshoe was put there for good luck. I bought a bunch of rusty horseshoes and cleaned them up and placed them throughout the house.
Another view of the room shows off the other side of the space and how the living room flows into the rest of the home. I love the archways between rooms – they are my favorite detail of the home. They add so much charm! This also shows off the layered rugs. I love using a huge rug in a living room to create a sense of space and coziness.
For the center coffee table, I opted for wood to add a dash of warmth. The green vase I sourced to sell in my online store years ago. Now it ended up being the perfect addition to this table. I had to add some greenery since I’m a huge fan of using plants in all designs.
A close up of CCOCOZY lacquer box takes center stage. It looks so great stacked on top of coffee table books plus also provides the perfect secret storage for remotes and other small things.
LOVE LOVE LOVE how the living room turned out!
