1. Sweet Country
A classic windowpane-patterned chair and large over-sofa wall art are the stars of this lovely, country-style living room. Soft green pillows and blankets draw from the green in the art and make the room feel cohesive.
Key elements: Mercury glass accents to reflect light, distressed finishes, and a nature-inspired color palette (greens, peaches, creams).
For a minimal, modern space, pick one standout piece—like this sunny yellow chair. Instead of hanging art on the wall, create a rotating gallery with a picture ledge. Mix patterns like a pro by using prints with one common color and varying the scale of the patterns.
Key elements: Bold hues (aqua, yellow, pink), global motifs, and plenty of texture—braided sisal, woven pouf, sleek ceramic, fluffy flokati.
Button tufting, nailhead details, and brass finishes create a living room with tons of vintage appeal. For a truly traditional feel, hang a grid of framed black-and-white sketches above the sofa. A trunk end table with hidden storage adds style and function.
Key elements: Old-world accents (chinoiserie-style vase, globe, binoculars), mixed metals, and a muted color palette.
