Are you looking for some home decor ideas? Today I’m sharing our family room makeover and a bunch of living room decor ideas. These are simple things that you can do to give your family room a new look. The secret of great design is color, texture and lighting and I hope this post inspires you to make your house a home that speaks of you.
Are you ready to take a tour of our family room with me today?
Let’s do it!
COLOR
We chose for our family room mostly cool tones and neutrals.
When you are ready to give your home a new look you may want to keep in mind a few things.
There is not much difference between decorating a home and dressing up our bodies.
This is my personal formula!
Walls = Skin = Neutral
Furniture = Clothing = Timeless Pieces
Pillows, Curtains, Frames = shoes, bags, jewelry = Go crazy! Show your personality! Have fun!
Our family room is connected to our kitchen so I used the same color scheme,
since you can see one room from the other one.
You can take a kitchen tour HERE.
I know you are going to ask me about the Paint Color…
ACCESSORIES
Accessories are the best way to bring, texture, light and personality into a space.
I play with a ton of different tones of blue and metallic accents to decorate our living room.
Don’t be afraid to mix different types of metallic tones… I think they look awesome together!
Use things like curtains, pillows, rugs and throws to create fun textures through all the room.
Pillows are a great way to give a room a new look and slick style quickly.
Use fabrics and patterns that express your own sense of style!
Use leather and other natural elements like jute, wood and plants to bring warmth to the space.
…A little green goes a long way!
STYLE
In my opinion your home should speak YOU.
It should say your story, it should display those things that you love.
A great way to make a space intimate and personal are pictures.
I also love displaying my kid’s art in our home.
Here are two wonderful pieces by our oldest daughter.
At the end of the day your home should be your favorite place to be at.
It should be that corner of the world that belongs to you and your family.
Make it your own!

Beautiful family room Desiree – I really love the way you mix rustic touches like the oar with modern touches like the frames with beautiful big photos and glamorous metallics – such a great, eclectic combo!! Thanks for all the wonderful tips:) Your daughter is so talented -wow!! I love how even though the room looks so beautiful and perfectly put together it is also personal and has so much “family” to it.

Your room is very pretty and I love the colours and textures. Great tips and I like how your colour scheme flows into the kitchen. My favourite part is the bookcase area with the mix of photos and your daughter’s great art. I have a similar animal print throw and we love it. Thanks for sharing, I’m pinning.
