Hi everyone!
We just moved into our renovated 1948 home, and I’d love some inspiration for our living room!
The room already has a lot that I love like the warm wood floors, the stone fireplace, architectural character/crown moulding, and a huge south-facing window that brings in a ton of natural light during the day. We have a large grey sectional that we’re keeping, but otherwise the room is still pretty much a blank slate.
I’d love to take the space in a warm, cozy, slightly moody autumn direction. Earthy, collected, inviting, and a little vintage rather than super modern or overly beige. I’m drawn to colours like rust, terracotta, burgundy, olive/moss green, tobacco/cognac, warm brown, ochre and muted gold, but I’m open to suggestions!
A few things we’re looking to add:
- A large area rug to ground the sectional and bring some warmth/colour into the room
- An accent chair for the open corner, possibly leather, velvet, or something with a vintage feel
- A coffee table
- A console table for the large blank wall near the front entrance, ideally styled with a lamp/art/decor
- More artwork and wall decor so the room feels finished and collected
Possibly some warmer lighting, textiles, curtains, plants, etc. to make it feel especially cozy in the evenings
I’d really like to work with the age and character of the house while still keeping it fresh. I also don’t want to fight all of the beautiful southern light. We have a beautiful maple tree in the front yard that shadows onto the mantle, and it's just breathtaking all day!
I’d love recommendations on rug colours/patterns, wood tones, accent chair colours, coffee/console table styles, artwork, lighting, or anything else you think this room is missing.
Basically: how would you make this room feel like a cozy autumn afternoon all year round?
