Made With Oak, Styled By You: Living Room
A place to rest, relax, entertain, get cosy with a good film…you name it. As the hub of the home your living area is an important aspect that can influence the mood and atmosphere of the home. Creating a calm and relaxing space to unwind in is one of the main ambitions of many homeowners, so in this week’s blog we’ve gathered some of our favourite customer images to delve into the design aspects of creating your dream living room.
Balance with texture
This customer has offset the cream foundations of the room with interesting textures and materials to add interest and character to the space. The dramatic ceiling light gives a luxurious feel to the space without detracting from the more cosy elements. The subtle accents of wood add a warm tone to the space, creating dimension and a rustic feel.
Elongate the space by playing with size
Playing with the length and size of furniture can be great for making the space feel bigger, these long curtains are perfect for adding height to the room, making the space feel more open and spacious. The oversized plant also adds a big bright pop of colour to elevate the space from a limiting neutral colour palette. The matching Harbour sideboard and TV stand balance the room but using mirroring textures and colours.
Add a nook to rest
How could you walk past this spot and not want to cuddle up with a good book? This little cosy nest is the perfect project for a corner of your house and can be a great alternative for a couch, as a modern alternative.
Space out with open plan
This open plan space is a perfect example of a kitchen/living room space that isn’t too overcrowded or busy. The limited colour palette works perfectly at creating a sense of calm in the space.
Be bold with patterns
Puppy approved! We love the maximalist approach to colour and pattern in this space, creating visual interest and warmth to the space without looking overpowering.
Work with a interesting neutral base
@rachel_souterhome
Our products go down well with our customers’ furry friends and we couldn’t ask for a better review. This pale neutral space suits the warm pops of colour from the artwork and our large Cove sideboard. Choosing a more interesting base colour for the walls can do a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to giving the space character especially if you want to opt for a more minimal decorating style.
