LIVING & DINING RIGHT – 5 REASONS TO LOVE

August 6, 2013
  • Share
Modern living room light herringbone wood floor black framed pictures white walls black wall sconces squishy daybed and armchair

Here are the 5 things I am loving about these two spaces…

1) Light hardwood floors in a herringbone pattern

2) Black framed pictures against a white wall

3) The color combination – blue, white, silver and black with a touch of green in the form of plants

4) The lighting – Love the 3 bold black wall sconces in the living room the two blue glass pendants in the dining room.

5) Seating – The squishy armless daybed and chair in the living room are so inviting.  The silver cafe chairs and banquette seating in the dining room are functional and stylish.

Can you name 5 more things you like about these rooms?

Happy Tuesday!

    I love the Living Room arrangement, from the colors, to the layout, to the picture arrangements on the wall! Beautiful!

    I love the room, except for those chairs. They look a little cheapish to me!

    My own kitchen and living room have a black/white/blue color palette. The two rooms are open to each other, and in the living room I have a modern black leather sectional, and in the kitchen I have white cabinets. I used to feel like the two rooms fought against each other, but then I realized I just needed to integrate them. The blue addition used to be turquoise, but I’m now moving toward more darker, moodier blues. I’m dying to paint the walls a smoky blue, but my husband thinks the room will be too dark. What does he know?

    The living room is gorgeous! Is it possible to get the name of the velvet blue sofa/daybed designer?

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.
Save this for your next lighting inspo and follow for more. 🖤

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. 🤍

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.

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.
