So what to do?
I have a neutral leather couch, dark mahoghany hardwood floors and neutral sand walls so there is definitely need for a color to spice things up- However the entire house is a warm sand tone (including the baseboards and trim) so I really want to keep true to the natural vibe of the house.
My style tends to lean towards contemporary/modern, but I want a cozy enviro for the kids and family too.
Help!! lol
Here are a couple of different ideas I'm leaning towards. Hoping you guys can give me some feedback so I can figure out which style I'm leaning toward... Thanks!
So this is my living room...
I really love these metallic silver linen drapes from Pottery Barn. The linen material will stay in line with the natural vibe I want, but the fact that they are silver metallic gives it a modern twist.
And they also have these chocolate paisley linen throw pillows with the paisley print in a soft metallic gray. I can use modern mini-art frames with the silver and brown tones to accent the room and tie it all together...
I'm afraid the brown will be too much... well, BROWN in comparison with the floor and walls. (We want to keep the walls the sand color b/c our fireplace mantel is the same color and we like the way it blends into the wall- see below) But I do like the visual contrast of using lots of different patterns in the mini-art and also the paisley print is interesting...
Should I opt for bright multi-colored pillows in a modern print by KOKO and accent the rich tones by encorporating the color in my barstools?
Or do I opt for large, comfy organic pillows from West Elm in soothing tones and then accessorize with metallic elements in the room (therefore allowing me to keep the metallic linen curtains I'm so partial to!! lol)
Gahhhhhhhhhhh!! I'm so torn.
