I look forward to this room more than I admit to myself because it is going to be where our family lives everyday. It will be our TV room and a main play spot. I am a homebody and the idea of home, for me, needs this space. The place where you can lay down & completely relax. It is off of the kitchen and the dining room so it will feel separated & its own space, but not far from anything.
We knew we needed a large, oversized couch for this room. We had a great one at our last place and it was our favorite spot in the house. We found the Aldrich sectional from Room & Board and we were instantly sold. It was comfy and fit perfectly and it's also a sleeper sofa, which was a huge piece of the puzzle. This space, while being our lounge room, will also be a guest space. With the bathroom attached and the pocket doors for privacy, it is the best spot to invite people over to stay the night.
We chose a slate blue color for our couch and that was really the jumping off point for the rest of the room. I’m sure just like all of you, I saw ads for Ruggable all over social media and I have really wanted to try it. A rug that my kids can stain and then I can wash? Yep. Sold! The other great thing about them is that they have samples. So, I was able to order a bunch of different choices before choosing the Hendesi Heriz Abalone pattern. The colors go perfectly with the couch. Once the two largest pieces were chosen, the paint color was picked. We are going with Wall Street by Sherwin Williams. That is really when the whole room came together. Then I found the light and all of these inspo pics came into play.
Usually, most people say to start with the inspiration photos. And that works for almost every situation. For me, I like to find those photos for the smaller pieces- the art, decor, etc. to put the finishing touches on a room. We had the big pieces, so now it was all about making it feel put together. I haven't gotten there yet, but I can't wait to show you guys when it is all done. Now, just hand me a blanket and the remote and I am ready to relax!
