The Novel Living Room Pattern Board | The Bully Carpet Debate...

mentioned in conclusion week, nosotros are inwards the procedure of buying a novel house.  We don't motion inwards until the terminate of the month, but I'm making blueprint decisions as well as purchasing around novel article of furniture inwards the meantime.  If you're following me on pintrest, you'll recognize the photograph on the left equally my inspiration for our New Living Room. 

I've set together the layout inwards a higher house using InDesign to assistance me amongst the scale of the room to brand certain everything I'm planning volition fit nicely.

After around long debates (in my head, amongst Mike as well as my sister), I've made around describe solid decisions regarding the novel ottoman, fly dorsum chairs as well as a low-cal fixture.  Things that are yet upwardly for ground are the end pigment color (I know the hue, only working out the saturation...) as well as the rug.  Double 'ugh' for the rug.

 We'll hold upwardly keeping our electrical flow sofa (thank goodness for the budget's sake...) that is upholstered inwards a natural "sand" belgium linen.

I've decided to purchase the two of the Slipcovered Wing Back dining room chairs from Restoration Hardware.  My inspiration for these chairs is from the photograph on the left of the Barefoot Contessa's domicile from House Beautiful. 

I'm going to bring them flanking the fireplace inwards the Living Room, but volition hold upwardly able to motion them to the dining room for particular dinners.  The cost is a petty expensive for dining room chairs, but a pocket for a living room chair... so, since I'm going to hold upwardly using them equally both, I'm justifying the expense. 

I'm going to bring them done inwards Fog grayness linen, equally pictured above.  They are a swell scale, criterion 25w x 27d x 47h.  Not also too big for our house, but yet real comfy.  I also similar that the fly dorsum gives it a stately stature, but the slipcover makes it casual.

The ottoman has been around other holler for of debate... what upholstery?  Because I'm doing the grayness Fog Linen for the Wing Backs, I've decided (finally...) to bring it done to represent the sofa inwards Sand Kingdom of Belgium Linen thus I don't add together also many fabrics into the room.  I conception to bring diverse throws, interesting drapes as well as pillows that volition add together color, dimension as well as pattern to the room.  I'd rather stick amongst the basics for the chief pieces, thus bring to a greater extent than fun amongst things that tin john hold upwardly changed easily as well as often- equally I'm known to practise it for each season.

I bring ever loved brass fixtures as well as conception to practise them throughout the menage to represent the existing brass doorknobs as well as hardware.  This i is from Circa Lighting.  Hopefully my budget volition permit to bring multiples of these... if not, I'll settle for this i inwards the foyer, as well as something costless for the balance of the menage - bedrooms, hallways, etc.  

I desire the walls inwards the entire menage to hold upwardly real neutral as well as light.  I actually similar Stone as well as Ash from the Slate collection at Restoration Hardware.  Ash as well as Stone are non pictured inwards the swatches on the left, but they are from that collection.  Ash is the swatch to the right.

Now onto the rugs...

This carpeting from Ballard Designs, I love.  I dear the colors, I dear the pattern, but I don't dear the comfort score of the apartment weave or the price.  It is yet the inspiration for what I'm looking for, though. 

This is around other carpeting from Ballard.  I also dear it - I dear the contrasting pops of nighttime colors.  I recall it adds a sophisticated chemical ingredient to an otherwise low-cal as well as airy rug.  It is solely available inwards a 6x9... thus possibly I settle for it inwards the dining room?  But, I yet necessitate a carpeting for the living room...

This is the carpeting my sis has inwards her living room (that I dear because I assistance her selection it out).  I dear the colors, but non certain if I desire to mimic just what Jill's done inwards her house, only for the sake of copycat syndrome.


I also similar this carpeting from Pottery Barn.  Jill also has it inwards her hearth room.  I also helped her selection it out.  I'm wondering why I helped her thus much : )  But, the existent ground is if I desire something equally graphic, or if I desire a to a greater extent than traditional Western Farsi style... I practise dear the cleanness that the graphic pattern gives, but I similar the classic expect of the Persian...  Did I lift double ugh?

This carpeting is from Pottery Barn, also.  I similar the colors as well as the traditional Arts & Crafts block print.  I recall it would hold upwardly a swell classic look, but a petty modern because of the construct clean block print. 

This carpeting from Pottery Barn struck me equally interesting as well as eclectic.  I recall it would add together major involvement to the living room... possibly a petty also much?  

Amy I missing whatever other rugs out there?!  Your assistance would hold upwardly appreciated!
