The living room is an amazing space, it is big with high ceilings and has so much beautiful natural light which is everything I love. The main feature of this room is really the grey marble fireplace, so the aim was t,o ensure it was highlighted and that the furniture fit around this main element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colours, Tones and Textures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In terms of colour tones, I went with neutral, greys and whites. I feel these tones are calming and great on their own but also allow for a splash of colour if you wish to mix it up from season to season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did add metallic details to break up the colours and catch people\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really enjoy bringing in texture too which is why I went for the jute natural rugs and Made.com bamboo suspension light and standing lamp as well as the Ikea bamboo vase with the pampas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From my previous apartments, I did already have a selection of furniture which I didn\u2019t necessarily want to change so I had to figure out how I could integrate it into this amazing space !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main items being the living room low table, the mirror, and the bar cart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When contemplating the style of sofa, it was obviously budget dependent too but after previously owning a more rigid vintage style, I definitely wanted to go down a cozier style, especially due to the fireplace and the fact that I love entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found this great light grey Conforama deal on Facebook marketplace and it is extremely comfortable and huge (3m long) it really fits the room like a glove and I was able to position it just how I wanted with regards to the fireplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the room being the size it is, it was necessary to also fill in the corners which is why I love my little wooden bar cart which I had got on Deindeal in 2016, it is the perfect size and adds a nice touch to the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have got a temporary solution for my tv stand but will find a more permanent one, once I am inspired Or if Samsung feel like gifting me the wall art one !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighting and Atmosphere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lighting is KEY !! I can\u2019t stand harsh bright lights, I find it kills the ambiance and it almost hurts the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with my ceiling being so high, I really wanted a good-sized suspension and a standing lamp keeping with the tones of my IKEA mirror<\/a> and vase<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fell in love with EVERYTHING on made.com but unfortunately, in spite of having enough space for a lot of the items, I had to select the key pieces to compliment the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
