We’ve been in our home for 4 years now, and for 3 of these years, the entrance room of our home—the formal lounge, the very first thing you see from the entrance door—was lovingly referred to as “the soccer room,” which after all was as a result of it was an enormous empty area the place my husband, Daniel, arrange a big soccer purpose in order that he may play soccer at any second! It was very cool for him and really mortifying for me. So final yr we determined it was time to maneuver the soccer to the basement and furnish the room. I’m so completely satisfied with the transformation. (Scroll right down to the top of the publish for the checklist of the place I obtained furnishings, lamps, curtains, and so forth.)

Transitional Type Dwelling Room

My dwelling type is transitional, a mix of conventional and up to date (fashionable). I’m drawn to all issues gentle and brilliant, neutrals, the grounding high quality of heat wooden tones and pure woven components like jute, wicker, and rattan. I really like the colour blue. And whereas I get pleasure from quite a lot of the fashionable design developments (mid-century clear strains, white sofas, impartial shade schemes, numerous woven textures), I in the end need my decor to really feel timeless. So I weave conventional, classic items (assume mahogany finish tables, vintage-looking rugs) into that up to date aesthetic as a result of they a.) by no means exit of favor, and b.) add richness and character (in any other case, an all-modern look can really feel somewhat chilly and flat).
