Modern Coastal Family Room

September 17, 2015

Today, I’m excited to share the full reveal of the Talega South Project family room. I really enjoyed designing this inviting and livable space, for a wonderful family of six. My vision was to create a stylish space with a modern coastal vibe, without sacrificing comfort.

This family room joins a light and bright, white kitchen. To maintain the cool, fresh feel of the great room, the walls were painted Silver Drop by Behr.

The basis for this cool, coastal design was a neutral palette. I choose a large comfortable sofa in a light linen and soft, gray slipcovered chairs to blend with the wall color. The Moroccan style rug, Jaipur Zuri from Rugs Direct, grounded the space with a more contemporary style. It’s plush pile and neutral colors were the perfect fit for this livable space.

For a twist on coastal style, I chose vintage and watercolor textiles. This collected mix of pillows and throws were layered on the sofa and chairs to add interest with soothing colors. Their unique, abstract designs give the space a more modern look.

One of my favorite elements of the design are the black accents that give the room a little edge. The black palm wall art from Minted expresses California cool style, while providing a crisp focal point for the room. A black pedestal table and mid-century style tripod lamp were placed to tie in the existing fireplace. When I looked for a coffee table, I knew I wanted one that would work with young children. I love the the round, hammered metal coffee table adds some shine.

To accommodate large gatherings, I added pink leather stools for extra seating and a hint of fresh color. My goal was for all the colors in the space to evoke a light and airy, coastal vibe. I finished by styling the room with some modern vases, a natural wood tray and a couple of plants to add some warmth and an organic element to the space.

It’s always fun to create spaces that people can really enjoy and live in. I love how this space is casual and inviting but has crisp, modern elements to give it polish. I hope you have enjoyed learning more about this modern coastal living room. To get the look for your own home see below. Have a great day!

Family Friendly Bohemian Living Room

September 9, 2015

Today I’m excited to share pictures of the living room space from my Cadiz Project. This living area is part of an open floor plan design that includes an entryway and the kitchen area. My vision was to create a space with an inviting, family friendly, bohemian vibe. I wanted the space to be stylish and ready to entertain young families.

The basis for this living room design is a soft neutral palette. The walls are painted Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray. I started with neutral, upholstered, mid-century style furniture for a more modern feel. With such a clean, simple foundation, I decided to have a little fun, picking a bold, black, overdyed rug. The rug brought interest to the space, grounding the room with bohemian style.

The focal point of this space is a mid-century buffet with a large,round gold mirror. The crisp, white color of the buffet gives the room a fresh pop. I added a gold round mirror to make the space feel larger and add a little shine. Then, collected finds were used to style the buffet. A turquoise lamp and books with a surprise of pink were layered in for vibrant color.

The mid-century chair and wood coffee table give warmth to the space with mixed lines. I love the imperfect, curved lines of the table. One of my favorite elements of the space if the greenery for the plants. They bring life to the space with beautiful color.

The pillows are a collection of tribal and watercolor prints that tie in the bold color of the rug. Black and white textiles give the space a subtle edge. I finished styling the living room with textured baskets and cozy, ethnic style throws.

The goal for this design was to create a fresh, clean living space that would accommodate a family of 8. This is their main gathering area, used for entertaining and everyday living. We wanted it to be livable but still sophisticated and inviting.

Two Dwell Studio Statement Chairs define the space. We chose these for their clean, lines and unique mid-century design. They look beautiful from all angles. (Similar chairs here)

One of my favorite elements is the large, plush, Stark area rug. It really lifted the color of the room and is so soft and comfortable. (Similar Rug here and here )

All the walls and moulding in the room were painted Benjamin Moore White White to tie in with the kitchen area and brighten up the space. The soft, abstract art is showcased against the white fireplace, painted to match the walls. Wood beams were added for warmth and rich contrast.

We styled the space with pops of color from the pillows and added some more warmth with a side table. Fun Chatbooks of the family fan the table to add personality.
