FRESH & COZY LIVING ROOM!

August 9, 2012

fresh and clean living room with black trimmed windows, white sofas and armchairs with striped accent pillows, a white ottoman and a fireplace

Fresh. Need I say more about this cozy living room? I can’t help myself though…I must say a bit more because, as you know, I have a bit of OSS (Over Sharing Syndrome – a term coined by me and my college friends).

Neutral Living Room Color Palette

I love the neutral color palette or white, the black trimmed windows and doors, the natural jute or seagrass rug, and most of all I love the striped accessories – pillows, throws, and all.  There I said more.

The Black Trim Windows

Black windows are necessary when you want to create a dramatic contrast. There are many different materials that can give you the black trim design including wood, steel, and aluminum.

The living room design features a white loveseat with different colored striped throw pillows. The room features a lot of mixed materials and decor pieces to add texture. The rattan tray adds a coastal style to the room. The black wooden stool is used as a side table.

What do you think of this cozy fresh living room?  Like or dislike?  Is it too white for you or are the stripes just enough to break up the blank canvas?

I like…what about you?

Happy Thursday!

    Thanks for this. I was just debating my slipcover choices for a chair we are having done. I was leaning towards white but…liked a pattern or gray twill also so…White it is! I can always color/texture it up with pillows right?

    Too much white for me but I like the rest. Love the rug, tray and the black side table.

    I think it looks like a bad pottery barn shoot. Wasn’t that look in the 90’s.

They frame the room, add warmth, and tell a story through what’s collected and what’s left open. It feels personal, never overdone.

A masterclass in contemporary wedding event designA masterclass in contemporary wedding event design, every detail feels intentional, layered, and deeply personal.
Designed by @bychenai, a prolific and talented London based wedding and events planner, this wedding is a study in thoughtful design and artful creative direction. We say well done Chenai!
Long tables arranged in a maze-like formation created a striking design, while still allowing 350 guests to move throughout the space. A rich brown and gold palette brought warmth and depth, paired with refined tabletops and lush floral centerpieces.
Location: An ornate and iconic room. Painted Hall at Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich England @orncweddings.

Layered textiles, collected pieces, and a little bit of the unexpected create a home that feels personal and lived in.
Which detail would you start with first, the patterns or the palette? 🎨
