OUR SLEEK MINIMALIST LIVING ROOM
When I designed the living room space of our new home, I envisioned it being sleek and minimal. A color neutral room grounded by a statement fireplace as the focal point with refined furnishings. I've craved simplistic style in this home that doesn't require a lot of adherment. I think the massive purge of home decor I did before we moved really has helped me stay very intentional on the new pieces I bought for this home. It took me a couple of months staring at an empty living room to get a feeling of how I wanted this space to look and feel.

For me, an empty room felt better than a room filled with furniture that no longer represented my new evolved style. I took my time researching sofas, coffee tables and rugs.
The chandelier and sconces are the jewelry that truly take our living room to the next level. I’ll have all sources listed at the end of this post.

The concrete-look coffee tables have a nice contemporary, organic look that make a bold, yet refined statement. We have 12 foot ceilings on the entire main level of the home which can make furnishings feel like dollhouse furniture if not thought out carefully.
Speaking of sofas, I cannot be happier with the ones I chose after doing all my research. A furniture store I've always loved but never actually owned furniture from is Room & Board. I've had friends who have owned furniture from this store and I was impressed with the quality and the modern, Scandinavian style.
The modern profile is exactly what I was looking for with its timeless look. The cushions are very comfortable and are made out of an eco friendly, high resiliency, foam core wrapped in a down feather blend.
The great part about having a neutral color sofa with clean lines is that I can switch out my throw pillows with any color or texture and it’ll look great! The linen fabric is the perfect backdrop to any color trend I may want to incorporate down the road. Mixing pillows and textures is a great way to add a lived in organic feel to your sofas.
The rug may have been my greatest challenge making a decision on. I would look at rugs with a hint of color and pattern and they wouldn’t feel right to me.
A pair of stools (also from Room & Board) are nestled next to the fireplace to allow extra seating without taking up visual space. The steel frame with a handwoven Kilim pattern sling seat is perfect for sitting on your warm toes and fingers during our long cold winters.
As I mentioned previously, I haven’t quite found what I’m looking for to finish of the wall space above the mantel. Honestly, the bare wall doesn’t even bother me and I’m embracing the simplistic backdrop that I’ll get to decorate for Christmas. A few birch tree branches give a nice organic feel and that’s simply all it needs for now.
More layers of organic textures were added with some faux branches among a trio of vases.
