design

My office is in a corner of our living room and while it’s to my back for a great deal of the day, I’m feeling the urge to re-do the entire room.

I do believe I’d start with the Crate and Barrel Margot Sofa. The midnight blue has tones of grey which makes it a great neutral addition. We’ve actually been looking at it for some time, as we’re getting ready to replace our sofa. It also blends my husbands love of Modern Design with my more Contemporary/Traditional tastes.

For a pop of color, I’d add this pink chair. (That noise you’re hearing? My husband and son groaning.)

I’d also add little complementary pops of color like this simple floral arrangement:

I’ve been looking at rugs as well, because if we learned anything from “The Big Lebowski”, it was the rug ties the room together, always.

This living room setting below is a great blend for my family as it brings in modern and contemporary elements, which is a must in our home. The shades of gray soothe, while the green accents complement.

I’ve selected two looks. Both similar, but very different in color scheme. This just means I need to spend more time thinking about which direction I want to take our living space.
