Warm & Comfy Living Room Update

Here’s a new twist on furnishing around that fireplace with the shelves on both sides. Laura’s longtime client Shelly wanted a different look to her new Johnston home. Since we have furnished several living rooms in different homes over the years, we wanted a fresh take. She knew she wanted warm whites and the ultimate in comfort.

We paired a large scale Milford sofa on one side with a matching one arm chaise on the window side. We added comfort down to the cushions to create that more inviting feel. An accent chair in a gorgeous, subtle pattern rounds out the seating.

The furniture still balances out the room in a fun, new way. We were even able to re-use her leather ottoman and tables from a few homes ago! How about the scale of those table lamps?

Do you want a fresh approach to your decorating? We can cater to any of your inspirations.

If I’ve done my job well, you’ll find yourself feeling “at home” in your new surroundings… and hopefully we’ve had a lot of fun along the way.” | Laura’s Page
