LIVING WITH LAVENDER – THIS OR THAT

November 12, 2013

Contemporary living room with lavender accents

Saw these two living rooms the other day where lavender is the connecting theme.  The first is a living room with very subtle accents in a light shade of purple.  While the second, takes on lavender living with zest by incorporating a lilac colored sea grass wallpaper and then punches up the decor with even more purple with the ikat upholstery on the side chairs…oh and did I mention the orange sofa.

So today I ask you…which of these two living rooms do you prefer?  Could you see yourself living with lavender?

    Could live in the first space. Thinking the second room would be too much color for me.

    Love this color. It really seems almost like a neutral. Every color looks great with it.

    Love the first one with its great mix of furniture (the Platner table paired with the antique armchairs looks fabulous) but my vote would definitely go to room number 2 (designed by Amanda Nisbett maybe?). I need a bit more color in my life 🙂

    I like aspects of both, but I really love that poppy-colored sofa with the lavender pillows. I’d opt for a stark, white backdrop though- the lavender wallpaper is a bit overkill and too Easter-eggy for me.

    I haven’t been a fan of purple, in general, since my pre-teen days I the late ’80s. I do like the purple splotchy ikat chairs, but I can’t so much handle the pastel shades.

Seven laundry rooms that make the chore feel like Seven laundry rooms that make the chore feel like a treat. 🧺
The secret is simple: choose a cabinet color you love, add a floor with some pattern, and keep storage hidden or tucked into baskets. Light or dark, each of these rooms proves a hardworking space can still feel warm and personal.
Which one would you fold laundry in? 👇

Oak, travertine, and brass carry through every roo Oak, travertine, and brass carry through every room of the Grove Townhouse by Bunsa Studio. Paneled oak built-ins frame the living room, herringbone floors run into a kitchen with a marble backsplash and caned counter stools, and the terrace kitchen pairs a fluted island with terracotta tile. In the primary bath, a skylight opens over a travertine shower with twin brass rain heads, while a sculptural marble sink anchors the powder room and a paper lantern softens the kids’ room.
Which room is your favorite? Vote below 👇

From an empty room to a cozy, layered living spaceFrom an empty room to a cozy, layered living space. 🤎
A little vision, a few thoughtful design choices, and the right textiles can completely change the feel of a room.
For this living room concept, we brought in the COCOCOZY Kip Rug to anchor the space and the COCOCOZY Quatrefoil Linen Pillows to add pattern, texture, and a touch of timeless charm.
We love how the warm caramel sofa, olive green accents, natural wood, and brass details come together to create a space that feels both inviting and elevated.
This is a room concept, imagined to showcase how COCOCOZY textiles and details can transform a space.
What do you think of the transformation? Would you live here? 🤎

A country contemporary farmhouse in Lincoln, MA, f A country contemporary farmhouse in Lincoln, MA, full of antiques, pattern, and natural texture. 🏡
A plaster chimney rises into the vaulted living room above a reclaimed-wood mantel. Lantern pendants and copper pots set the tone in the kitchen. The powder room goes all in on floral wallpaper and a gilt mirror. Grasscloth walls wrap a guest room with a built-in reading nook, and the bunk room is all sage beadboard and gingham. Old pieces and clean architecture work together, so the house feels collected, not decorated.
