This week I have been working on a natural living room style board to inspire my lovely friends Ally and Ben now the Teal Bedroom has been sorted. I started by discussing which pieces of furniture they had that they would be keeping, and their general ideas for the space and went from there.
DESIGN BRIEF:
-
Neutral colour scheme including creams and greys
-
Cream Leather Sofas
-
Oak Mirror
-
Natural Carpet
MY DESIGN:
With any design, we usually have items that we want to incorporate into our new plans. The natural colour scheme selected works well with the cream sofas they already own as well as their oak mirror. In my mood board I’ve used a basic Ikea cream sofa just to show how the mix of colours work together. Ally was keen to include lots of wood into the design, and specifically asked for a wooden lampshade to create a lovely cosy glow. I then added lots of different natural textures to show how they could be layered together.
Next I turned my attention to some furniture that would complement what they already have. I thought the China Clay paint worked perfectly with the striking wooden tv cabinet from furnitureplus. And of course no room is complete without some little trinkets. I especially like the Golden Rules print and this amazing Do What You Love pillow.

That looks lovely – I love a neutral sitting room – too many colours can become headache inducing!
