My friend is in the process of decorating her living room and asked to bounce some ideas off me to work through the process. Since I am addicted to decorating and have no place outside of this blog to unleash my energy, I naturally went overboard.
My friend currently has a pink and green bedroom and wants to carry the color scheme into the living and dining rooms. She is starting with black dining set and living room tables, a couch that looks something like this:
and is going to paint an accent wall in the dining room like this:
She wants to add in pink elements, but I was afraid the competing strength of the bright green and pink and the black would be overpowering so I decided to look for some inspiration pictures...
The airy bamboo in this dining set lightens up the black element, plus, that paired with the cute parrot prints give the room a cute, preppy, tropical look that I think fits my friend well! And how sweet is the rug!
This room is a little more modern and is missing the pink, but definitely very successfully brings bright green into a living room with a beige couch and black furniture. I think the mirror-surface table adds a little glamor!
This room is so cute! Has the same light, black bamboo furniture and incorporates fun pouffes - how can you go wrong with those!
I thought I'd throw in this picture incase she wanted to go in a slightly more Chinoiserie direction. The back of the chair is similar in design to her headboard, so I thought it might be a good starting point.
She is still in the process of picking out accessories, but is thinking of some garden stools (maybe in pink??):
and something similar to this Jonathan Adler Talither rug, only in black and white:
Sadly, this rug doesn't come in black and white....any suggestions on where she could get anything like that??
