The living room is up next in the home tour series.
I just did a little summer refresh for my living room and it occurred to me I hadn’t given you guys a tour of this space yet. No time like the present!
I packed up the heavy faux fur throws and fur pillows and snagged some new, more summer-appropriate pieces. A palm print pillow cover, a lightweight gray throw blanket, and a few printed canvas covers remixed the space with a warm-weather spin.
Ta da! (Look closely: yes, that’s Scout inside the kennel, posing for the shot.)
Since moving back in December, my decor goal for the new house has been to skew it more modern. And for the new living room, I wanted a statement piece of furniture with a modern feel in a bold color. The high ceilings and big windows made this space perfect for a square configuration around a center coffee table with a brightly-colored accent chair as the standout piece. Something in hunter green velvet had been at the top of my list, so when I found this chair I knew the rest of the room was going to revolve around it.
It wasn’t my plan ahead of time, but once the green chair was in place I realized how much it set off all the plants I have in this space. I’m quite the well-documented plant lady (just take a look at my office), so this is all very on-brand. Bonus: the gold arms + legs of the chair work with all the gold accents in the rest of the room, like the marble and gold coffee table.
Another item I wanted for the living room was a floor mirror. This exact one is sold out, but I love this one and this one and they’re both right around $100. You might recognize this mirror because it’s where I take most of my #ootd snaps for Insta stories. The bright morning light makes it a good place to get a shot of my ‘fit before I leave the house.
I also added a pot with a pothos plant (seriously one of the easiest plants to grow) and a little seagrass tealight holder, which I snagged as part of my living room refresh.
