I think we all get so used to seeing a room the way it is and can’t imagine it any other way. I know that I do. I put furniture in one place and there it stays most of the time. Since moving into this new home I have been trying to be more open about changing things up and spreading my wings a little. I have also been trying to update a few things for a more contemporary look.
Now don’t get me wrong. I am really a traditionalist at heart and you all know that, but I love how modern and up to date a room can feel with just a few contemporary touches. That could mean a piece of furniture or a few accessories. I just think when these items are added to any space it looks more updated and “now”.
I love the pieces I have in my living room. They are all pretty special and some quite sentimental to me, so they stay the same constantly. That doesn’t mean that I can’t move things around and try something new from time to time.
What if I just “Change One Thing” in my living room. What kind of an impact would that have.
These are the furniture pieces you have seen in my living room for a very long time. I absolutely love them all and each one has such a story to me.
I was surprised at the difference when I brought in the coffee table from the family room. The whole room took on a totally different vibe. I think this particular glass and brass coffee table is a little too small for the space, but I love how airy it makes the room feel. It’s also looks good to have less wood in the room.
Well, that got the wheels turning, so what if I changed up a couple of chairs too. This changed the whole vibe again. I think this one needs some different chairs, but the idea works. Maybe something a little more contemporary where the brown louis chair is. I wonder what a tub chair would look like. It’s a thought.
After seeing all of this I keep wondering about a square tufted ottoman. That might be interesting.
Do you change things up or are you kind of stuck like me. What do you think, I am all ears.
