When we show up to a design client's home, we have to get a feel for their style and what looks they are drawn to. Sometimes, though, we get this blank stare and a comment that follows that goes something like this, "If I knew what my style was, I wouldn't need to hire someone to help me, right?". Or, we've heard this one, "I know what I don't like!". Don't worry! We can help you figure out what styles you are drawn to! It's simple really....inspiration photos. We use inspiration photos to narrow down our client's preferred style. Usually, people end up picking out a few of their favorite inspiration photos, and they all have something in common. That gives us a starting place for the design and feel for the space.
Here are some of our favorite living room inspiration photos that offer a range of styles, colors, and textures.
A dark accent wall paired with surrounding white walls and a traditional rug makes a statement.
The simple lines in this design create a clean look (and the baby adds to the cuteness). We like the brown leather couch accompanied by the light upholstered chairs. Adding a tray with three items that are high, medium, and low in height can complete a coffee table just like that! Oh, and everyone needs some sort of gallery wall!
The chandelier. The stacked firewood. The driftwood. The neutral color scheme. We're in love.
Always bring the outdoors in by adding plants (real or faux). The ledge shelf above the couch is a clean and simple way to display art that can easily be swapped out over time without having to repair holes in walls and rehang frames. The basket of throw blankets instantly makes this space feel cozy and inviting.
Well, let's state the obvious....the amazing beams, windows, and natural light make this living room a dream. The oversized, rustic coffee table add warmth and character to the sitting area. Also note the use of throw pillows to bring in a pop of color.
We gathered and collected photos from different sources on the internet. We have included the sources of our findings in order to give credit where credit is due. If one of these designs or photos are yours, please don't be shy to contact us immediately, we are happy to give you credit!
