Living Room

I love minimalist living rooms… until they feel like a fancy hotel lobby where you’re scared to sit down. You know the look—perfectly beige, perfectly styled, and somehow totally unlivable. So if you want a space that looks clean and calm and still makes you want to flop onto the sofa after a long day, you’re in […]

Picture this: you walk into your living room, the light hits just right, and suddenly the whole place feels… calmer. Not “I just did a full renovation” calm—more like “wow, I can actually think in here” calm. That’s the magic of a light and airy living room. It doesn’t shout for attention, it doesn’t feel

Look, I’m just going to say it dark living rooms get a bad rap. Everyone’s obsessed with those bright, airy spaces flooded with natural light, but honestly? There’s something absolutely magical about a moody, cocoon-like living room that wraps around you like a warm hug. I’ve been experimenting with darker aesthetics in my own space,

A chipped dresser corner, a slightly faded floral pillow, and a crystal chandelier that looks a little too fancy for the room somehow that mix just works. Shabby chic brings that lived-in, loved-on feel that makes a space look collected over time instead of staged in five minutes for the internet. And honestly, a home

Look, I’ll be straight with you, green living rooms are having a major moment right now, and honestly? It’s about time. If you’ve been scrolling through Pinterest at 2 AM (no judgment, we’ve all been there), you’ve probably noticed how green has become the go-to color for people who want their living room to feel fresh, sophisticated,

Blue can fix a living room fast, like “why does this room feel flat?” fast. You know that moment when your sofa looks fine, your rug looks fine, your curtains look fine… and somehow the whole space still feels like a waiting room? Yeah, that’s where blue shows up and saves the day. I’ve played

Your living room probably does fine most days. Then you see one ridiculously pretty modern contemporary space online, and suddenly your couch looks guilty, your lighting feels suspicious, and that random corner screams, “Do something about me.” Sound familiar? I’ve rearranged my own living room more times than I want to admit, and I’ve learned this: modern

If your living room feels a little tired, I’ll bet your walls cause most of the problem. You can swap pillows all day, but a strong wall moment changes the whole room in one move. I’ve tested everything from paint to panels to gallery walls (and yes, I’ve made the crooked-frame mistakes so you don’t

Your living room doesn’t need a full-blown renovation to feel like a cottage. It needs the right signals—a little texture here, a cozy layer there, and a few “I found this and fell in love” pieces that make the space feel warm instead of staged. I always notice the same thing in truly charming cottage living

You walk into your living room, stare at that awkward wall space, and think, “Something’s missing here.” Spoiler alert: it’s probably built-in shelves. I spent years shoving books on random furniture before I finally committed to built-ins, and honestly? Game changer. These aren’t just shelves they’re like the Swiss Army knife of living room design.
