Ioan & Carls Living Room
Designer's Edit
This lively living room showcases a warm and inviting ambiance. The focal point is a comfortable tan leather sofa, adorned with an array of decorative cushions in various shades of blue and white, enhancing the cozy feel of the space.
A sleek black accent chair with a geometric cushion offers an additional seating option while adding a touch of modern style. In front of the sofa, a stylish wooden coffee table sits comfortably on a soft wool rug featuring a black and white pattern, anchoring the arrangement.
Complementing the seating, a minimalist side table is positioned next to the sofa, topped with a tasteful glass lamp that emits a warm glow, enhancing the room’s inviting atmosphere. Natural elements are introduced through a fiddle leaf fig plant in a soft-toned planter, bringing greenery and life into the space.
The walls are bright and neutral, allowing the artwork above the sofa, depicting a serene landscape, to stand out. Flanking the artwork, two stylish wall sconces provide additional lighting, creating a layered lighting effect that enhances the room's warmth.
In one corner, a tall floor lamp offers another layer of light, while a sophisticated dual curtain pole allows for the option of thicker, luxurious curtains alongside sheer panels to filter natural light delicately.
Overall, the design integrates comfort with contemporary elegance, making it a perfect gathering space for relaxation or hosting.
Hi Ioan & Carl,
I’m delighted to share your final room design and product suggestions. Don’t forget to click on the video under your moodboard to watch your virtual design presentation!
Product Suggestions:
If you scroll down from your design, you will find your product list with all my recommended items. If you click on "alternatives," you'll find even more options for each category. There’s a favourites button on each product, so feel free to click it! That way, we can chat about your top picks since I’ll be able to see which ones you like best as does your shopper Jess!
I have specified all items based on the dimensions and information you provided in your brief but it’s always worth double checking that you’re happy with the size of larger furniture items/light fittings before placing your order. Also, that you have the appropriate delivery access into your property.
Sofa/Armchair:
Where possible the shopping support team will organise samples for your upholstered items. It’s really important to check you’re happy with the colour/sample before ordering as colour representation on screens can vary. If you require any additional samples just let them know and they will be happy to help. To keep the cost down, most items for the sofa is self serve so these fabrics if available will be requested by yourself direct to the retailer.
Cushion:
Certain retailers supply cushion cover only and it will state this in the title of the item so if you need the inner cushion don't forget to add that to your basket as a separate item.
Window Dressing:
I've opted for a dual curtain pole, allowing for thicker more luxurious curtains on the top with some thinner Sheer curtains for blocking out some light during the day. I've shown the pole to be silver to tie in with the existing silver elements however also shown a black pole too.
Plants:
I have included a great selection of faux plants for your room with some lovely planter options also. Please be sure to check the size of the planter or basket fits the plant pot of the plant you have chosen if you select an option from the alternatives!
Art:
I have suggested some great pieces of artwork that I believe will pull together your scheme beautifully. However, art is such a personal choice, so do feel free to use these options as a guide if the pieces I’ve suggested don’t quite hit the mark!
Budget Notes:
The overall room design has been pulled together with your budget in mind, however I have also dropped in a few special pieces that you may want to invest in, as I believe this could bring an additional wow factor!
Have a good look through all the alternatives and remember you can swap things around to balance your budget as you like.
Sustainability:
Within the items in your shopping list I’ve sourced some pieces from some retailers that offer more sustainably resourced furniture
Shop Direct:
There is a small selection of retailers who only deliver directly to the account holder, such as Dunelm or Desenio and therefore we are unable to offer as part of our shopping service. If you do select anything from these retailers there is a handy link on the product which takes you directly to the retailer site.
Once you’ve had the time to digest the design, please let me know if you have any questions. As a reminder, you have two weeks to come back to me with any questions on the design.
Warm Wishes,
Natalie
