More Living and Dining Design Boards

Here are a few more design boards for my friend's living room and dining room.  Her living and dining rooms are adjacent so the overall design needs to coordinate and be cohesive.  I have such fun doing this stuff!


For this board, I replaced her tan couch with a light colored linen sofa and used a gray and blue palette.  I drew the color inspiration from the beautiful ocean painting that is on the left.

My friend mentioned that she wanted a dark wood table but I wanted to switch up the seating by an upholstered gray banquette with creamy white parsons chairs.  At the bottom of this design, I included a few other chair options just in case she didn't want a banquette.  

Here is the second dining room design scheme.  This one isn't quite as monochromatic as the first option, but it still sticks mostly with the gray hues.

Living Room Designs

One of my friends asked me to help with her living room, so I came up with a few inspiration boards.  So while Finley was sleeping, here's what I designed:

This board has a fun, trendy vibe with bright orange and turquoise accents.  (Of course, the couch will be facing the fireplace and TV, but I wanted you to be able to see the throw pillows.)


 This board features a more sedate palette of light blue, tan and whites.  I wanted to draw attention away from the TV so I made the entire wall more of a focal point by adding wallpaper (or a painted stencil).

This board has almost the exact same furniture as the second design board but with a different layout.  Sorry the furniture all looks so wonky but I'm still figuring out the design software.  Live and learn, right?!
