Livingroom : Same room with Different looks !

I am amazed at how different color schemes and room accents can transform any room ! Even with the same basic furniture, a living room can speak of different personalities and influences. The set of pictures I am putting up today shows how a simple living room with existing furniture consisting of three seater sofa and a modern coffee table and lamp, can be transformed to look elegant, stylish, bohemian, shabby chic, contemporary etc.

These pictures are bound to inspire you and the combination of colors are stunning to say the least. Look closely and you might just be able to create your perfect design for a living room.

The Romantic Elegant

This setting is uber stylish, lush and romantic. The beautiful shade just brightens up the room with blood red as the focal color the whole setting is just sparkling and eclectic in its feel.

I love the beveled mirror and the fab rug !!

The Kitschy Dynamic

If you love dynamic then this is just that !! The pattern, vibrancy and truly eclectic combination of colors gives the room a real edge. The atmosphere is so cheery and the selection of artifacts is truly unique. Each and every corner has its own story to tell.

This room is not for the ordinary and it speaks volumes about style and personality !

The Pure and Meditative

You love the look of white ! The color is sleek as well as sophisticated and with just the right amount of creativity and interesting mix of pieces the whole look can be awe inspiring. The room is in some ways pure and meditative with the monochromatic scheme weaving magic here !

The mannequin and the little pig in white are such interesting focal pieces !

The Casual Contemporary

This casual contemporary and totally modern take on the living room is fantastic ! The laid back and easy going attitude is easily showcased, and very carefully created by an interesting mix of medium. We have here blown up art and black ceramic vases with unique wooden art thrown it too. The color orange is known as a color for joy and conveys sociability and confidence.

The sheer riot of colors in this room makes it one of my favourite here !

The Classic Elegant

This look is just so different from the one above that its difficult to imagine that the existing furniture are the same. The whole look is elegant and almost bordering on formal. The clean lines and classic furniture give the room a modern and sharp look.

The wooden coffee table balances the black and white furniture perfectly to make it harmonious.

The Vibrant Whimsical

The color scheme here is that of black and white but with teal blue in the background. Teal is by far one of the most vibrant colors..and makes for some very uncommon but beautiful combination. The black and white echoed in the frames, rug and cushion adds to the vibrancy to the room and adds to the visual appeal !

The arrangement of frames on the wall is so curious and add a certain whimsy to the whole room !

Sofa Covers and Cushions : Designs and combinations !!

I am have been looking for some inspiration for dressing up my sofa in some lovely colors and uplifting the mood of the entire room :) And what an amazing collection of pictures I have to share with all of you !! Sofa and love seats in neutral are simple and easy options but if you really need to add that extra oomph to your room decor and make is really appealing look no further.


Sofa covers in themselves are not enough, combine some amazing mix of cushions in lovely colors and tones and you will have a winner ! Interestingly its not just the Sofa cover and cushions but also the carpet or rug that makes the complete combination. Take a look at each of these pictures and see for yourself how each of them add to the complete look :)


So lets get into discussing these lovely designs and colors, get inspired to create your own rooms and design the best for yourself !!

Sofa Covers : Combination and Designs

I Love this for the sheer simplicity !! Ivory white and green and a lot of light streaming in, what a lovely ambiance it creates. The rug is so amazing...with the weaving and knots. Add to it the wall hanging and the cushions with plants and leaf motifs in the same color. Totally Fab !!

Combination : Ivory white + Yellow green

Pink and Yellow is not a usual combination, but in pastel shades they just left me asking for more ! This design will transform any livingroom, The sofa cover in pale pink is so gorgeous with the whole set of cushions in various colors inspired by the carpet and wall hanging.

This living room echos of a set of colors reflected in the floor rug, cushions and the wall painting. Truly inspiring !

Combination: Pink+Blue+Yellow(all in pastel)

Staging is more important than ever...

Folks, just like real estate agents have the Realtors Association, home Stagers have the International Association of Home Staging Professionals, or IAHSP. The IAHSP conducts surveys of markets conditions and how they apply to the home staging industry. And the most current info shows that staging is STILL an essential part of selling a home:

Fully 94.6% of all homes that are staged by a member of the IAHSP sell within 35 days. A non-staged home remains on the market, on average, for 175 days. Yes, my friends, you read that correctly. So the solution for those who either want or need to sell their home is, Home Staging!

Bedroom: Bed Linen Set / Duvet and Pillow Cases

Bedroom are so much integral to one's home. Though it might not be the most open to view for guests, but it definitely plays a big role in your lifestyle and sleeping habits. A beautifully done up bed with linen that suit your taste and style is so soothing ! Take time to create the perfect atmosphere in your bedroom, enjoy the colors and texture, sense the style and get Inspired !!

Duvet and linen set can add a lot of color and versatility to one's bedroom, an easy way to keep changing the color and adding freshness..with changing seasons, important events, make the best use of colors available to add vibrancy.

Check out some lovely images of bed-linens and create your perfect look !

This linen set is so pretty and soothing, it provides a clean look as well as keeps it light. A perfect solution for bedroom with lots of positive colors !

I absolutely adore the pillow cases, the embroidered leaves are just amazing :)

This bedroom set is so full of energy and vibrancy ! The colorful mix of cushions in different frills and patchwork can enliven any bed; especially love the pom poms on the pink cushion.

The brightness of the room with stark white wall makes the perfect background for the lovely colors. Keep the wall color neutral with colorful linen, too much of color contrast can be unsettling.

With wall in neutral white the colors of the quilt and patchwork cushions are simply captivating !

The under water scheme of blue and yellow is so beautifully brought out in the melange of pillows and cushions. I am so in love with the sequined mermaid pillow.

It is a great idea to choose your colors and pick pillows in different designs, it keeps the design interesting while adding elegance to your room.

If you like variety and re arrange your home with the changing seasons then this one is too good to miss. While the linen-set is quite simple with no extra frills or cushions, it still is full of freshness of spring. An easy way to get the outdoor cheer inside.

The side table in rattan and the simple arrangement of leaves in a glass brings out the very best!

I so love this !! Everything here is so colorful and vibrant, the blue and green is an unusual combination but the bed throw is so captivating ! The best combination for the gypsy girl in you :) Check out the details in the cushions, quilt and pillows, each of them have so much interesting happening.

The Chinese umbrellas is an interesting touch though much less practical ;)

This is for the more traditional who enjoy the clean look and brightness. If too much of colors bother your sleep then this is an ideal combination, soothing and peaceful.

The freshness of the pink and blue leaves motif is so relaxing !

Retro appeal ?! While this bedroom is a riot of colors, it still lends to the theme so beautifully !

The disco theme maybe? The lovely polka dots and zebra stripes in pink are such an unusual combination! The sequined cushions, retro chair,the stringed drape are so unique and charming !!

The round pink rug and the pink ball lights, all of them make this look classy and stylish !

Yet another inspiration in Pink, the canopy of sheer with colorful patchwork and border is so feminine. Add to it the ultra feminine butterfly cushion in bright pink and red, The colorful striped quilt is such a beautiful piece as are the matching pillows in satin.

This design is definitely too busy for some but which little girl will not like it ?

If neutrals are what you prefer and love the coolness and eternal appeal, this is just for you. The energetic orange is not too overpowering and in combination with white forms a perfect balance.

The design is simple and transforms the room into a relaxed comfort zone !

Blue is such a versatile color. In combination with green the look is stunning. The details of the bed linen and throw is just unsurpassed ! The beautiful quilting and thread embroidery add great texture and elegance.

I specially love the blue all around the place in bed rails, curtains and the lovely pillow covers. What an interesting set of toys too !

This is yet another set of duvet in blue. The cute motifs of sea horse and shell son the white and blue duvet is so adorable ! I totally dig the whole setting, simple white head board brings out the colors of the light blue stripes and blue curtains.

The starfish on the walls are just too cute to miss. A sure winner in elegance and beauty !

The romance of red! This bed linen set is just perfect for those with romance in mind. The energy of red and the lovely print of roses is just perfect for a couple's bed. This is easy to replicate and stunning at the same time.

The red accents in the room also add to the whole feel !
