Decorate by Number: A Berry Ivory Living Room


Living room look for less

Ever wish your home could look like the pretty pictures you see in magazines (or on Pinterest)? In this weekly column, I'm sharing budget-friendly ideas to help you recreate luxe looking spaces for less. Visit my blog A Vintage Splendor for more inspiration.

My design or décor aesthetic is definitely mid-century modern meets vintage clutter, but I’m always drawn to traditional homes that are simply glamorous: modest use of color and statement pieces. What initially drew me to this space is the non-traditional shape of the sofa. I promise that I scoured the web for a good 2 hours to try and find something similar, but this beauty seems to be one-of-a-kind.
The sofa is definitely a bold statement piece but the ivory upholstery and tufted back give it that classic and sophisticated look of the traditional room. The berry accents are enough to give this room a bit of flavor without an overuse of colors or patterns. The vintage-esque accents add enough of a personal touch that the space feels lived in and not stark.

Overall, the ivory and berry duo creates a calming space that is understatedly glamorous. While I wouldn’t call this a home in real life, it’s definitely one of those lust worthy pinned spaces I’ll visit often.
