Gorgeous pillows, throw blankets and coffee table decorating ideas! Thank you Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for hosting this fun Summer design blog tour! So far I’ve already decorated my newly remodeled kitchen with summery touches, decorated my fireplace mantel for summer and made a new peony Summer wreath for my front door.
If this is your first time here, pop over to my About Me page to read about how and why I started my blog and business Setting for Four, after having a career in Research & Development Microbiology!
Adding pillows in elegant prints and colors will give your living room an instant summery vibe! I wanted a blue, white and gray color palette for my living room for summer.
Two affordable, elegant navy velvet lumbar pillows add another layer of blue. Adding a cotton throw with tassels to the sofa is the perfect way to stay warm on cool summer evenings! Styling a coffee table is where you get to display your interests, travels and collections in a beautiful way. Whether your interests are design, gardening or travel, choose a few coffee table books to create a layered look and show your personality!
I love my marbled decorative box for storing and organizing our media remotes, my MacBook Air mouse, ear buds and a pen and pad for jotting down notes before they disappear from my thoughts! Adding greenery with plants and or flowers is one of my essential living room design elements.
I usually add some fresh blue colored hydrangeas to my coffee table in the summer but I couldn’t find any at the grocery store so I added a vase of summery white and green artificial flowers to my tray for summer. When my flowers bloom in my backyard gardens I will add a vase of them to the coffee table too.
This is where you style your coffee table with your personality, collections, travel mementoes and loves! A white crystal agate object and wood bead garland are other items I decorate my coffee table to add texture.
Have the kids draw pictures on unlined index cards to keep loose in a wooden bowl for everyone to look at! Or add a decorative magnifying glass or orb to the stack of coffee table books.
This one is artificial – for some reason I can’t keep them alive inside but I have lots of them outdoors on our back patio. Here’s another view of our living room with the media unit I created from a dresser! Remodelando La Casa, Inspiration For Moms, ZDesign At Home, House By Hoff ,
