Modern, Fresh, Fun!.
Katie needed a little help with the finishing touches in her living room. New pillows introduce bold pops of color and pattern, while streamlined accessories for the mantel and console table create visual interest without overwhelming the space.
You have such a beautiful living room with unique pieces! My goal for this design was to highlight those beautiful pieces you have and simplify the rest while keeping a modern, fresh and bright feel. Simplifying the decor will actually give you more freedom to easily add in colors and patterns into the room through decor. I have provided 2 options below to help you find a style and color scheme that works for you. Thank you for the opportunity to help decorate your gorgeous home! Heather H
Option 1 Pillows
The blue chairs and black accent chair in the room are absolutely beautiful and I wanted to highlight more of those colors throughout the room. We do this by adding a few black pillows and throwing in a few bright colored pillows. The top and middle rows on the photo to the right are the pillow combinations for the sofas and the bottom yellow pillow is for the black accent chair.
Fireplace Styling
Since the artwork is square, I chose a round mirror with a unique, textured frame. The mirror is mounted 6-9 inches above the mantle. To the left of the mirror is a neutral vase set and a decorative box with a succulent planter on top of the box. Your existing statues and sculptural decor (from the photo you submitted) can also be used instead of the vase set to keep it more personal. The bottom of the fireplace has a pop of yellow with the lidded basket. All of the decor is on the left side of the fireplace because the right side is so close to the accent chair and sideboard, so this will help keep the styling from looking too cluttered.
Sideboard Styling
The room itself is fresh and fun already, so I wanted to update this sideboard to fit in with the rest of the room. The artwork is switched to a brighter and more modern piece. Mount this artwork about 6 inches above the sideboard. Since the artwork is so large, I went with oversized lighting sconces because they are more cost effective for the overall budget and fit the scale of the art better. Hardcover books are going to be the main decor here. Use colorful books for more interest and to add more pops of color in the room. Black decor objects pair well with the black accent chair and the new wall sconces.
option 2 pillows
This pillow combination is less colorful but full of pattern. This option will let the other colors in the room to really pop. Bottom black pillow is the for the black accent chair.
Fireplace Styling
Same styling as option 1 but with another mirror option. I love the wood frame in this one and how it pairs well with the sideboard.
Lighting with existing artwork 1
If you are wanting to keep your existing artwork, everything in this design will work well with it! I do love these new light sconces with the existing artwork and gives it a more modern look.
Lighting with existing artwork 2
Here is another lighting option with table lamps. I suggest wider lamps than your existing lamps to give more fullness and be in scale with your sideboard and oversized art.
