For this living room decorating project in Chicago we focused on creating a soft and relaxing space that wasn’t too “frilly”. The lead interior designer started with a neutral color palate then added other pieces that created contrast and texture. She also focused on creating a seating area in the living room that would offer enough room for a few guests but without overpowering the airy feeling of the space.
How We Helped
For this interior decorating project, we developed a floor plan, selected the furniture pieces, picked paint, the plantation shutters, and ordered and orchestrated the delivery and installation of the pieces and selected artwork and accessories; in other words, a full interior design project.
Simple, Neutral Palette
We selected a beautiful tufted sofa in a light beige fabric that lightens up the space and acts as the main focal point of the living room.
Creating Zones
When looking at the vast space of this townhome, we broke it up into 3 unique areas; the living room, dinging room, and foyer.
To divide the space visually, we used a combination of rugs and furniture to create the different zones.
Making an Entrance
Since the entryway was part of the space, we grounded it with a large entry table with storage baskets and drawers. On top of the table sits a sculptural lamp with a brushed gold finish and 3 white pots with grasses to add texture.
Adding a mirror by the main entrance is critical. It not only gives you a pace to check out your hair before leaving for the day, but it helps reflect light into darker spots of your home.
Pillows and Throws
Accent pillows on the sofa add color and texture to the to the neutral sofa.
Living Room Accessories, Like Frosting on a Cake
We absolutely love the oil rubbed bronze coffee table with glass surfaces. It provides a place to set your morning coffee or evening cocktail without visually weighing down the space.
