FRESH & COZY LIVING ROOM!

August 9, 2012

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.

A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. It tells you everything about the history of the space. The patina, the pattern, the way light moves across it. These are the rooms that prove good bones never go out of style.

Designer Emma Donnersberg took her own Paris apartment in the 7th arrondissement and used it to rewrite the rules — classical bones, contemporary everything else. Her Wave Sofa and U&Me Table anchor the living room in organic curves. In the kitchen, a green ceramic-wrapped island does the heavy lifting for color against all that neutral stone. And the dining room? A Carrara travertine fireplace that turns stone into the whole point of the room.
Curved, curated, and completely hers. 🤍

A little peek at one of my favorite outdoor spaces, which I designed years ago. The patterned tile, navy seating, white stucco, and layers of greenery make this balcony feel like a little room all its own.
I love how much personality you can create in a small outdoor space without making it feel overcrowded.
Save this for your next outdoor space refresh. 🍃

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎
