Style Plan: Modern Prep Living Room
Hope you guys enjoyed getting a peek into the process of I curated my sale. As promised here is another style plan showing how I would use some of the items in a living room set up!
No.1: I wasn’t exactly sure where this canvas would end up in my pretend living room, but I loved all of the colors and decided to use it as a jumping off point. Sometimes my inspiration for a room helps with a color story, but never actually ends up in the space.
No.2: I love using mirrors in design. They make such an impact in the space. They help reflex light, the make a room seem larger, and they provide a function. I love the idea of going bold with these mirrors and making a large grid of them above a sofa.
No.3: Every living room needs storage for either a TV, DVD’s, books, blankets, etc. I love that this piece has doors so you can shut them and not have to deal with the mess. I would flank it with some glamorous sconces that pick up the metal in the hardware.
No.4: An orange sofa?Be still my heart. It’s a perfect orange for a living room. Not too loud and not to pastel. Plus like at that exposed wooden frame and it’s a sleeper! Love! Like always I would toss the pillows it came with and pick up some polka dot,trellis,and chevronnumbers.
No. 5: For an additional seating area I would pick up a patterned accent chair,a granny chic moment with a needlepoint pillow and a place to rest your glass with this ceramic elephant garden stool.
No. 6: I adore a patterned rug so this time I would make my dots go super sized with this rug and have some additional seating options with these striped ottomans. Leave them the sofa as a foot stool or have them flank the storage cabinet.
No. 7: Lastly while it isn’t necessary in every room when you want your room to have multi-functions like perhaps a guest room a day bed is a nice alternative to a sleeper sofa. This day bed is so chic with it’s color and detailing and at a great price point. Only $424.95!
So, what do you think? Can you live in this living room? I think I could very happily.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
I like the repetitive circular pattern – rug, chest & daybed. Nice mood board.
