Living Room

THIS OR THAT: ICY ROOMS!

October 19, 2011
  • Share
Living room with lucite coffee table, pale green side tables, white sofa with long bolster, dark wood floor, fur rug and floor length curtains

Two rooms…same color scheme…icy.  Pale blues, greys, pale greens and whites.  Which of these two rooms do you prefer?

The first room above is quite glam with the large lucite table (doing a post on lucite coffee tables coming up so stay tuned), flokati rug, the crystal table lamps.

The second room below is more functional it seems…a room that a family could really use on a day to day basis…simple, practical, easy to understand decor.

Living room with white sofa with blue and grey accent pillows, woof floor, glass coffee table with metal frame, blue chairs with white piping, round glass side tables with metal legs and a small tree

Which of these two icy colored rooms is your fave?  I’m leaning towards the glam I think!

Happy Wednesday!

    Hi Coco,
    I prefer the second room. I find it more inviting.

    Definitely the second. It is more like you said…”live-able” Congrats on the collection!!!

    The second just seems more functional and warm & inviting.
    Although the fist is pretty fancy!

    At first glance I was drawn to the “glam” but then I knew I would never sit in it so I have to say the second room would be my pick!

    I love the coffee tables in both rooms, but I think the glam one is my favorite as well.

    The second. It’s real, it’s liveable. The glam is beautiful, but I prefer rooms that I’m not afraid will get messed up or dirty — lived in. Rooms that scream when they have been disheveled scare me. With room two, you wouldn’t notice something was out of place as much as the first.

    Love the Glam! But real life brings me back to the second room… which I would love to have in my Florida home…and I just might!

    I much prefer the “glam” one, first because of the architectural elements — the large window, molding and coffered ceiling. It also seems more cozy to me — I love the furry rug, drapes and sofa. Even though there is only the one sofa in the room, the size of the Lucite table could make it more functional, as you could sit around it and do homework, play games, etc. Even though it has fewer furnishings than the second room, it is more inviting to me.

    I’m with Michelle…love the first one, but would prefer the 2nd. Great rooms though.

    Congratulations on the Gracious Home order!

    I’d be afraid to “live” in either of these rooms with my ginormous dogs and wrecking ball children… But in a fantasy world without muddy paw prints and Sharpie markers, I’d go for Number Two. The first one looks unwelcoming, like the kind of living room that no one is ever allowed to sit down in.

    I like both, but lately I’ve really been drawn to soft fluffy rugs…the glam room definitely has that curl up on in a soft spot feel!

    The diva in me loves the first room, but I crave a little color added in. Even a soft color would do.

    The second room is more warm, but I like the style better, too. The first is too horizontal – not enough variety.
    I would love sitting, entertaining in, and gazing at the second one.

    The glam is gorgeous, but the second room seems more inviting to me– like I could really relax in that space.

    The second speaks to me more. The first one is snow queen cool
    The second feels more lived in and inviting to me!

    I really enjoyed this post because I just got married and our new living room is taking on a very neutral palette with grey based blues, whites, and grey. I love the inviting first room, but I’d love to know where the throw pillows are from in the second more casual room.

    The second one looks a little more welcoming! Both lovely.

    I’m leaning towards the second one as a stylish compromise for family.

    But I’ll take the first one too. It can be my boudoir.

    I love the look of the glam room, so cool and clean, symetrical and tres chic, but alas, too formal for me to live in. The second room feels warmer and much more livable. Could I have both? Please? 🙂

    What a grand entrance it would be when a visitor comes in. It looks like the snow have gone inside the living room. Fantastic for a fabulous coffee break or gathering.

She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎
