BOLD BLUE LIVING ROOM DESIGN

COCOCOZY Lyrical rug in blue living room design
Bold blue living room design with a COCOCOZY Lyrical Rug set in best of friend AM’s NYC apartment

So best of friend AM is now redecorating her spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bath NYC apartment.  2014-2015 has been the year of decorating for her.  She started with totally remodeling and designing her gorgeous new home in East Hampton (click here to see the master bedroom in the Hamptons filled with COCOCOZY fabrics).  Now that the weekend house is done, she has turned her focus onto her Soho city apartment.  AM shares her home with her lovely family, hubby JE and two amazing kids.

The first area AM is tackling …is this small sitting room right off the kitchen.  She is not at all finished but she has got the base design well under way.   I wish I had shots of the before.  Everything was very nice…in off-white, brown and hints of blue.  Remember how Picasso had his blue period…well best of friend is literally decorating in her own blue period.  AM loves bold pattern and texture.  For years, she was in a pink period.  The NYC apartment living room was wonderfully pink.  When her hubby JE asked for a brown desk, he was greeted with an “absolutely not”…she painted a metal table pink and for years the 6’2” JE has been quite happy working at the desk – he is a wonderful man who loves his wife and her design choices.  AM now says the metal and glass table is going to be painted white…to blend more with the new color scheme…I wonder if the very masculine JE is secretely sighing with relief?  🙂

Gone is the pink and onto blue…this little sitting room is still a work in progress for AM…she is going to add some art, a side table, a cabinet in the corner and a t.v. for the kids to watch.

Oh…but the whole point of this story from my singularly “me focused” point of view is that AM just purchased one of my new COCOCOZY rugs to decorate the space!  AM chose a COCOCOZY Lyrical Rug in Indigo blue for her little playful blue sitting area!  Buried the lead here!!!

Thank you AM for picking one of my rugs for your living room!  So fun to see my rug designs in action in someone’s home…extra special that is in best of friend AM’s home!!  Now onto her main other parts of her flat…another seating area…more blue living room design to come from AM I am sure!

Will keep you posted on her decorating progress!

Happy Thursday!

    I love love love that coffee table. Although I am a neutral person I am obsessing over this setting. The colour matching is so right and it looks so elegant.

    What a great rug! Love her colors. Could you tell us which fabric she used on the chairs? Thanks!

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Dr Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Drop your answer 👇
A — Warm wood beams and stone
B — Light and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows
A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.
