Finding The Best Pieces For Your Living Room

Designing a stylish and functional living room can create the perfect gathering space!  Whether you are entertaining guests or relaxing with family, finding the right décor can help set the tone for your room.  We are excited to share some tips on finding the best pieces for creating an inviting living room.

Furniture is arguably the most important piece of a living room, so finding wall décor that complements your couches and comfy chairs is important.  Hanging wall art in the same color scheme as your furniture will keep your space cohesive, whether it’s bright hues or warm neutrals.  If your furniture has contemporary curves, try hanging a piece with rounded details to help soften the space.  Boldly patterned wall art will pair well with printed pillows, rugs, and detailed fabrics in your living space.

A mantel can be the focal point of a living room so adding eye-catching decor will really help make it the center of the room.  You can hang and center wall art above your mantel to draw the eye upward and fill more vertical space.  You can also add art to your mantle, no hammer necessary, by propping it against the wall and layering it with other décor pieces to add more character.  Depending on your wall space, you can also hang art on either side of the fireplace to help frame it.

If you are looking to fill some large wall space, adding multiple pieces can help break up an empty wall.  Adding a diptych or gallery wall are great options for adding multiple images to one wall, or don’t be afraid to go bold by hanging one large piece to really make a statement!

No matter your style, finding the right art and décor will bring your design together.  Add personal touches and find pieces that reflect you to make your living room a cozy and welcoming space!

Pinterest Colors of the Year for 2016

With billions and billions (and billions) of pins in the fashion, beauty and home décor categories, Pinterest has ventured into Pantone territory by declaring colors of the year for 2016. Since color preferences vary by industry, Pinterest has crunched the numbers and brought us several colors that have been inspiring individuals, designers and retailers alike.

Seeing a 100% increase since February with this color, Blush Pink is the forerunner in women’s fashion pins. Mint Green saw a 40% increase during the same time period.

In men’s fashion, the blues rule. Astronaut Blue pins rose 100% since February and Chambray also saw an uptick.

In the beauty category, the mermaid look is in full swing. People can’t stop pinning Dark Blue, Green and Lavender hair and makeup photos.

While fashion and beauty are full of color, home decor is much more subdued with pinners loving décor inspiration photos in Gray and Mauve.
