So that leaves us with the living room and bedroom to decorate and I want a change. I am bored of how our decor is now so can't wait to move in and get started! I already have a few ideas in mind but have put together a little mood board of what I am thinking of achieving. The living room has been recently decorated and has a gorgeous purple and gold wallpaper pretty much similar to the one pictured above so we are keeping that. Not sure if Andy's too happy about that but I love it! So I have decided to buy wooden furniture as we already have a big wooden cabinet to work with so will go with that. I am a huger sucker for all things shabby and neutral so will be buying lots of little home furnishings.
I love the tripod lamp and would love the table and full size lamps just not too sure if that's such a good idea which Amelia's little hands as she gets into everything. The wicker log basket will look great next to the fireplace to store Amelia's toys we already have one but would like another. I love love love the knitted cushion and may just have to buy 4 of them!
I am just so happy that the living room will have laminate flooring, where we currently live the carpet is blue...yes blue! I despise it, its horrible and its so tricky to decorate a room around it and make it feel homely. Its never really felt like home. Of course we weren't allowed to change it so it had to stay put but I will be ever so glad to finally be saying good bye to it for good!
What colour theme/decor do you have in your living room?

very creative decor
ReplyDeleteI have that purple and gold wall paper in my bedroom, the hardest thing I have found is getting the right colour for the curtains because the purple is a really deep colour. I love all the shabby vintage look décor x
ReplyDeleteLove it, I may have to pinch a few of those ideas as our bedroom is a similar colour :-)
ReplyDeleteI think the vase looks great, that would sit nicely in my living room!! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mood board, my lounge is aubergine and lime green and I'm ready for a change, thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWe have basically beiges in our living room, with rust coloured curtains and the chimney breast wall in rust, so any of these would match. I particularly like the leaves.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant new ideas!
ReplyDeletelove the wicker hearts
ReplyDeleteYou always pick such lovely items!

ReplyDeleteI love wooden furniture - it is always so easy to change the "look" of the room with real wood as the base.

I moved home less than a year ago, and my living room is decorated on a London Urban theme. The theme includes foxes (lampshade and pictures), London architecture (posters and prints), squirrels (door hook) and pigeons (letter rack). The main colours of the room and furniture are mainly earthy brown and beige colours. My Mum also made me some London themed cushions.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas for décor, I really desperately need to decorate, but can never find the time!
ReplyDeletereal wood is fab and looks great
ReplyDeletelove wood would love to redecorate
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that tripod lamp! We're doing our house up just to sell so are decorating it on the cheap but when we buy a house we'd like to stay in I'd love some orla kiely wallpaper as a feature :)

ReplyDeleteWe have lilac wallpaper with silver swirls and skirting boards and picture rail are painted true purple, ceiling is lilac ;o) (Rafflecopter entries for Amazon comp in the name of Nikki Hayes)
ReplyDeleteThe best part about moving is redecorating and I think every woman loves changing the décor every once and a while.
ReplyDeleteMinimilistic, I'm always finding more and more to get rid of. Brown and orange colour scheme
ReplyDeletewe are neutral cream and brown, lovely items !
ReplyDeleteI love the basket. It reminds me of the one I used to keep logs in when I lived in Devon.

ReplyDeletelovely post loving all house items so beautiful and simple
ReplyDeleteI currently rent, and miss redecorating a different room every few months! Ten years ago I really liked bold colours, now I go for more neutral colours with classic pieces of furniture to brighten things up.
ReplyDeleteSome nice things on here.
ReplyDeleteloving all of it
ReplyDeleteI love the low coffee table with drawers.
ReplyDeletethis stuff would go perfect in mine and the girlfriends flat
ReplyDeleteI like all of the stuff and its a good idea to do a mood board before you start redecorating

ReplyDeletehe leaf wall thing is amazing i would have it in my flat!
ReplyDeletethis all looks lovely
ReplyDeletegorgeous furniture!
ReplyDeleteReally nice stuff
ReplyDeleteThe theme in my living room is 'new-meets-old'. I've inherited some of my furniture from relatives so I'm a bit sentimental about it but I've also got lots of modern bits & pieces (lamps, cushions, etc) but somehow, it all kind of fits together nicely.
ReplyDeleteSUPERB is all i have to say xxx
ReplyDeleteAll the items above are very cute - so shabby chic :)
ReplyDeleteI really dig that pillow with the large buttons.
ReplyDeleteLovely items, they'll look great!
ReplyDeleteI love the style. I am moving to my first home soon so am already searching at different home ideas!

ReplyDeletewe are currently in a private rented house, we didn't intend on living here for long so didn't make it our own and 3 years later we are still here
ReplyDeleteI have Teal and purple.. it might sound harsh to magnolia lovers lol, but im creative, and i just LOVE colour.. my living room is cosy :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice colour scheme although the wallpaper is very deep, be sure you won't go off it after a while before you buy it :) I have done this before, I now stick with really light colours - especially for the living room but it is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteMy colour scheme is Taupe and coffee so this coffee table would fit nicely. I want some side tables so I will look on their site to see if they have something similar. Thanks again for the reviews....
ReplyDeleteWe have neutral walls and carpet - I desperately need new furniture though - my settees are so old and tired!
ReplyDeleteI love that cushion!
ReplyDeletei love the smell of a new home
