Our Residing Room | Andie Mitchell

We’ve been in our home for 4 years now, and for 3 of these years, the entrance room of our home—the formal front room, the very first thing you see from the entrance door—was lovingly known as “the soccer room,” which after all was as a result of it was a giant empty area the place my husband, Daniel, arrange a big soccer objective 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 submit for the checklist of the place I acquired furnishings, lamps, curtains, and so on.)

Transitional Type Residing Room

My house model is transitional, a mix of conventional and modern (trendy). I’m drawn to all issues gentle and vivid, neutrals, the grounding high quality of heat wooden tones and pure woven components like jute, wicker, and rattan. I like the colour blue. And whereas I take pleasure in loads of the trendy design traits (mid-century clear traces, white sofas, impartial coloration schemes, numerous woven textures), I finally need my decor to really feel timeless. So I weave conventional, classic items (assume mahogany finish tables, vintage-looking rugs) into that modern 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 a bit of chilly and flat).
