More Teal, Less Orange in the Living Room

1/18/13

Current living room setup and decor

I'm the type that hates saying goodbye to the holiday season, so we didn't take down our Christmas tree and decor until last weekend. Once I got my living room back in order, I realized that it just didn't feel right anymore. I hated having my teal chair in a "reading nook" that nobody ever read books in - I wanted it to be part of the room.

Our living room is extremely awkward to set up. It's long and narrow, with either a hallway, window, entryway, or fireplace on every wall. There's not a single anchor wall, so all of the furniture has to be floated. Luckily I'm okay with that, but that doesn't make it less of a pain in the ass.

Before:


After finalizing the new setup, the orange accents in the room didn't feel right anymore. I was kind of expecting that - being the first home I've ever decorated, I thought I'd experiment a bit before I found what feels right.

I ended up moving all of my bright orange and tangerine pieces into my bedroom. I'll give an update on that as soon as it doesn't look like a complete disaster zone.
