Living Room

LOGICAL LIVING – PRECISELY DESIGNED LIVING ROOMS!

September 20, 2011
  • Share
Symmetrical living room with white armchairs, a round table with wire legs, a large blue and white plaid rug, a fireplace with a white molded mantel with a black chest of drawers and a glossy black mirror on each side

I like these two living rooms from Atlanta based design firm The Design Atelier. Something so neat and orderly and precise about the design.
These rooms are both on the traditional side of design but have a bit I like the lightness, the use of blue and the symmetry in both.

I love the plaid rug in the first image and those black glossy mirrors too.  When the fire is lit, this would make a nice seating area to cozy up with guests.

The large arched windows and the printed drapes work for me in the second room too!

Living room with high ceiling, large arched window with floor length printed drapes, a light grey sofa, blue armchairs, a piano, a wooden chest of drawers and a fireplace with an arched mantel

What do you think of these two living spaces?  Does logical and orderly work for you? Or do you prefer a little less logic in a space?

Happy Tuesday!

    I love the use of symmetry in both rooms. Lovely spaces!I have to say, I definitely veer towards symmetry over organized chaos.

    I just adore the symmetry of the first room (and those wonderful mirrors). The symmetry in the second room is less formal and OCD, but those are the things I really like about the first. lol Wonderful draperies though!

    The first room is especially calming – I think symmetry helps a room look more pulled together and easier on the eyes…beautiful!

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.
Watch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? TWatch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? They are on sale...not sure.
Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.
Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale.
We’ve already done the hard work and created a Summer Sale Shopping Board filled with our favorite finds. A Shopping Board is like your own storefront. It’s a curated collection of products you can shop yourself or share with others to earn when they purchase through your links.
✨ Want to make it yours?
Comment SALE and we’ll send you the link. Then just tap “Add This Board” to save it to your Chirpyest account.
Or grab the link here 👉 https://www.chirpyest.com/s/cocoedit/summer-sale-2026/2071?mode=share
From there, you can shop the collection, share it with your audience, earn from your recommendations, and get cashback on your own purchases. 💛
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.

If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
