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 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 aim in order that he might play soccer at any second! It was very cool for him and really mortifying for me. So final 12 months we determined it was time to maneuver the soccer to the basement and furnish the room. I’m so glad with the transformation. (Scroll right down to the tip of the put up for the record of the place I received furnishings, lamps, curtains, and many others.)

Transitional Type Dwelling Room

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