Hi readers! It has been a crazy couple of months. Everything that could possibly happen in 2020 has happened and more. But anywho, today I really want to share with you all a quick tour of my living room space. I have been moving and tweaking this space since my husband and I moved in 2017. I started with the sofa adjacent to the fireplace, no real entryway and so many other situations that just didn’t work. But now, I really think I’m happy with the layout.
The Beginning
As I stated earlier, I started with a completely different layout than I have now. As you can see the red sofa (cringe) was adjacent to the fireplace with the side table next to it. Cute right?
The original layout of my living room space.
Changing The Layout
This layout worked fine for a while, especially since I really couldn't see any other way to place the couch. So this was the way for a year or so. After that, I started making small changes. I added a trifted orange accent chair to the corner of the room. I incorporated plants I added curtains and string lights. This made the living room pretty warm and comfy. Then as the Fall of 2019 approached, I started thinking about where I wanted to place my Christmas tree (yes I’m one of THOSE people), The year prior, I had nowhere to put our huge tree so I placed it in the dining room and it worked. But now I was really wanting to have our tree in the living room, and that my friends and where the rearranging began.
Here is the new layout 2019
Finally…
After Christmas my husband I FINALLY purchased a new sofa! And that’s when our living space was complete. I had been eyeing a green velvet sofa for months! I finally settled on the Sven sofa from Article. It tied the whole room together. I may type up a review for it later on, but for now, let me give you that tour.
This is how our living room was meant to be. It feels and looks more open. This layout also allowed us to create an entryway where we really couldn’t before. Our accent chairs now have their own corners and help to close in the space. Making it great for conversations.
