I was going to start with another living room but decided to hold off on that one for a bit.
This upper east side living room is not the kind of style I usually blog about. It takes itself a bit too seriously and while I like the pops of orange, I still feel it lacks character. Its not just the monochromatic furniture, all the pieces are stylish. I guess I find it elegant but slightly boring. I dont mind the monochromatic furniture because most of the pieces are stylish. It doesnt seem like a fun room to socialize, I would be worried sick of spilling or staining. It also needs a shot of energy.
I would love to spend time reading in such a room though. What do you think?
Flanking all of the seating against the walls spreads everyone so far apart. I prefer more intimate seating that’s closer together. White is nice but starting to get overdone, so I would need a huge statement piece in here to get me to look twice at this room. An urban grafiti mural or an unexpected repurposing of a piece of machinery for a coffee table, for example. That would make this living room home. Thanks for asking! 🙂
love the pops of orange but unfortunately i could never live with that much white. the dogs wouldn’t allow it 🙂
in my case, my 4 year old boy wouldn’t allow it!! 😉 but I hear you Manvi, this room is too perfect for my taste.
I need a bit more than just a pop or two of color 😉
True said you. That’s too much white. It’s actually choking. It’s killing the orange. Definitely not my kinds! Manvi, you can redo this room though! 🙂 How about a little photoshop and letting us know how it should change…just fun you know…I would love to have green and wood added to this room. 🙂 xo
Hi Manvi,
I love this living room… I dream of decorating my house in white but the dust in India does not permit me to do so… I’m a cleanliness freak, so I like white so I know if the seats etc are clean!!! I used to have door mats in white!!! However I would have enjoyed some blue aqua color instead of orange. I like the space between the seats as I would rather have guests behave themselves rather than get all cosy and the seats would make them sit straight!!!
