Mentally, I’m in full on vacation/trip mode. I typically attempt to preserve my momentum going till Christmas, after which take off the final week of December, however I’m having such a tough time this 12 months. I simply need to plant myself in my recliner underneath a comfortable blanket, sizzling chocolate in hand, whereas watching ridiculous Christmas rom-coms and scrolling Instagram.
I’m not going to let myself utterly try simply but. I nonetheless have simply over one full week to finish these 4 targets I had for the studio earlier than the tip of the 12 months. I’m going to do my finest to complete these. However over these previous couple of days, I’ve spent extra time than regular scrolling Instagram, Pinterest and Houzz for inspiration for our future household room, which I hope I’ll be capable of enhance sooner or later subsequent 12 months.
Should you’re new round right here, we don’t at present have a household room. The room that I’m referring to is a part of an addition that we hope to construct onto our home subsequent 12 months. We’re at present working with the architect to get the plans drawn up for the contractor to undergo the town for approval and permits. As soon as our addition is constructed, our home ground plan will appear like this. The areas in pink are the areas that might be added.
So the household room might be accessed through the again doorways of the present music room. That room seems to be like this…

When these doorways (which open like pocket doorways) are opened, there might be bookcases on the left wall, a fire with plenty of seating on the proper, and the doorways out to the again yard straight forward.
I’ve been dreaming about what I need this room to appear like. My two largest priorities are (1) to saturate the room with shade, and (2) to make the room cozy. So I began scrolling Houzz and Instagram to see what caught my eye, and what I may use as a leaping off level for our future household room. I’ve gathered a couple of of the images that I really like probably the most.
This primary one actually matches the colourful requirement, however I don’t essentially get a comfortable vibe from it. That would probably change with some sofas that look just a little squishier and comfier, and with a darker teal as an alternative of turquoise. However I do love the combo of the turquoise, inexperienced, pink, and orange. Swap the turquoise for teal, and people are my colours!
In the case of cozy, this undoubtedly meets that requirement. Simply take a look at that beautiful teal on the partitions! I do assume it’s too darkish for our household room, and I personally desire white ceilings. However there must be a cheerful medium between this and the earlier too-bright-for-me turquoise.
This one can also be too darkish. I’m conscious of that. 🙂 However once more, there must be a cheerful medium that can give me this cozy feeling with an equally beautiful teal-ish shade that received’t darken the room a lot. And once more, I’ll at all times go for white ceilings, and my home windows keep uncovered always to let as a lot gentle in as potential.
However now to my prime two favorites. These are nice examples of utilizing a great deal of shade with out making the room too darkish. Simply look how stunning that is.
And now for my #1 favourite inspiration image. I LOVE the couch shade!!!
So these are simply my beginning factors, but when I may make our household room appear like some type of good combo between these final two rooms, I’d be completely joyful.
