Bedroom Seating

Decorating a bedroom doesn't seem that difficult but decorating one with a joined seating area can sometimes get tricky! Finding the right pieces that compliment each other aren't always easy to come by.

Picking tones that blend well together and using accent pillows to tie them in is a great start.

For rooms that don't necessarily have  dedicated seating area, a bench at the end of the bed is a great alternative!

It's important to decide if you want the seating area to stand out or the bed. Which one do you want your eye to gravitate to more?

Sticking with comfort and serene is a great idea since this is your bedroom, you do want it to be a place that creates a calm atmosphere.

A window seat does double duty! You have a great seating area with plenty of storage underneath!

Dusting Off The Dining Room Table

FREE IMAGES As the cooler weather is settling in and fall brings us indoors, I can't help but think of all the holiday events and dinner parties that are coming soon! In preparation I am dusting off the dining room table and finding some inspiration to make it shine this year:

Keep in mind that changing out your dining room doesn't have to be a pricey event. A few candles, a cheap centerpiece, and maybe a few stunning seat covers can really change the ambiance of a room.

Another option might be some fresh flowers and throw pillows to add a little color and life!

Even just changing out the lighting can really make a room stand out. This chandelier screams for attention!

Unexpected ways to make your dining room chic and gorgeous

FREE IMAGES My dining room is one of those rooms that is visible from most other rooms in my home, so it's really important to me that it's easy on the eyes.  Here are some fabulous dining rooms, big and small that I would be more than happy to have as my own...

Loving this clean and chic dining room.  It is small, just like mine, so how genius is the floor length mirror at one end of the dining table.  I will definitely be trying that trick.

I'm a big fan of bench or settee seating at the dining table. You can put a bench on just one side or on both.

Feeling risky? Go all out and get full bench seating! I would still have two simple mix matching chairs to put on each end to maximize the seating in this space but I love the idea.

How cool is this bench?  And those blue velvet chairs?  The chandelier is often the conversation piece in a dining room, making the chairs the focal point is a nice change of pace.

I LOVE the idea of combining a library and a dining room.  I grew up in a family that often reads and eats at the same time ( I know, I know...not always a healthy environment for books)

If you already use a color in your home that is complementary with red, adding a few accents will be easy and look thought out.

Throws and lampshades are great budget friendly ways to bring a little love in the room without breaking the budget.

A new piece of wall art can change up the room and adding a few pillows and a bench seat or stool can tie it all together!


Do you use red in your decor?
