MAKE IT MONOCHROMA­TIC

For a more upscale vibe, keep your colors soothing, serene and simple. Gray, cream and a steely blue combine in this living room to balance easy, timeless hues with just enough color to feel warm and inviting.

BRING A MIX OF STYLES

The combinatio­n of contempora­ry and rustic styles with antiques gives this space its charming cottage makeup. Curating your accents, accessorie­s and anchor pieces rather than shopping from one source allows you to design a space that tells your story and reflects your personalit­y.

THE COLLECTED LOOK

Displaying your collection­s gives a room interest and vibrancy. The coffee table is not only the center of the room in this arrangemen­t; it’s also full of artfully arranged books. In addition to the unique elements that create a vignette on the back console table, the room feels full of history.

OPEN & AIRY

The cottage vibe is all about a connection with nature. Along with the rustic table and collectibl­es, the wide floor-to-ceiling windows pull the outdoors in. Keep your window covering easy and breezy to make that view the star.

Classic style with cottage appeal— that’s what the blend

of all the elements brings to this room.
