I had the yellow pillows, which are similar to these.Īdding the color to the couch really makes the room pop! Then I added some of my pink pillows I purchased from Amazon. I found these green leafy pillows from Society6. Which is why we did pinks, yellows, and greens. So I wanted something bold for the space. Since I have pillows, I can easily buy and store pillow covers to change out the look of a room simply by swapping out the covers! Since our walls are a deep purple color, I am treating it as a neutral. One of my favorite things to do is add in pops of color. So with the chairs back in the bay window, we are able to use our fireplace more! Adding Pops Of Color And it wasn’t the best when we wanted to have the fireplace on. But when we needed more seating, they ended up in front of the fireplace. See, when I first designed the room, they were supposed to go there.

Our patterned chairs made their way back to the bay window. We ended up getting a new coffee table and poufs to act as seating in front of the fireplace. I was also able to keep the rug we had purchased because it was the perfect color and size for the room. So we were able to swap out the curtains to make both spaces feel new and fresh. But with the more bright colors I decided to go with, we needed a more neutral curtain. We had an ikat pattern print that is just lovely. For this space, we ended up swapping out the curtains with the curtains in our bedroom. The benefit of updating an old design is that you can sometimes rework items you already had in the room to make it feel updated. I love when you can use furniture to create sections within your space. The back side of the sectional acts as a room divide between our entryway and the living space.

I love the shape of the sectional for our rectangular living room layout. It is the Lounge Petite 3-piece sectional in view grey. The one we found is from Crate and Barrel. So we decided to invest in an L-shaped sectional couch. I wasn’t worried about the color scheme or anything until I knew we could have a large sectional in the space. Then find things to go around the furniture. When you are planning out your layout for your living room, start with the big pieces of furniture. Once I saw the big sectional would work, I found find end tables, coffee tables and other seating options that would work around the sectional. So I pushed our two couches together to see what the flow of the room would look like. I know some people can draw things out, but I need to see them visually. To figure out what would work, I started moving furniture around. Until we ended up turning our living room into the main place we watch movies. We placed on couch in the bay window, and the other couch stayed near the entryway. So we got another couch from some friends who were moving. But as the kids got older, we needed more seating. The original floor plan of the living room had 1 sofa and two chairs. I am breaking down how we created our living room layout so you can do the same! Floor Planning Not only did you change up all the seating in the living room, but we used the rectangular shape to create a larger living space for us to use.

Well, it has been a few years and some things have totally changed in the space.

Plus we painted our yellow brick fireplace, white. I was so excited to have new paint on the walls. Our living room got a massive facelift back in 2018 when I transformed the space for the One Room Challenge.
