When we first put together our living room, we bought and selected pieces that we both liked, not really thinking about the space as a whole. I didn't originally have a specific vision in mind, because I was more focused on trying to furnish and finish the room as quickly as I could so that I could invite family and friends over. So now that I've had more time to rethink our living room palette, I realized that it's lacking some color. Josh and I both love neutral colors - white, gray, black, brown - you name it. Our leather couches are a deep espresso color and our coffee table, end tables, and media console are all black. I love color, but I seem to use it sparingly in my home decorating. We've had the same accents in our living room for a few years now - so I thought that it was time to give it a little splash of color!
With that in mind, the biggest things I'd want to do for the living room is find a colorful area rug or set of pillows, replace our coffee table, and add more decorative accent pieces. If we have enough space for it (insert: money), I'd also like to add a chair of some sort to put near our bay window. I already found the perfect coffee table to help tone down our dark couches and furniture from World Market ($229). I'm leaning towards decorating with an apple color, a few whitewashed frames, and mercury candle holders to complete the space. Hopefully in the next few months I'll have a before and after post to share!
