Arhaus - And The Dream Lounge Room...

There comes a time when tiredness creeps into the decor.

Even though the colours are bright and cheery.

This is exactly what has happened with my lounge room.

There are parts I still love, 

but also parts I would love to change.

But what exactly would I do?

This is where 'Arhaus' home comes in...

because what is not to love with their - 'You're The One' - when you know it is just right for you selection of furniture, homewares and accessories.

I decided to create an 'Inspirational Dream Lounge Mood Board'.

The tired cosy red lounge turned 'Romantic meets rustic meets a little industrial' mood board.

I'm thinking texture, luxe fabrics, detail, metal, and rough finishes with a little touch of glamour.

I want to say goodbye to the red and other brights, 

and bring in a palette of calming neutral tones.

A mix that doesn't' really follow one particular trend...

a little bit of mix and match.
Complemented by DIY pieces and flowers.

 That's my dream lounge.

Let's see what they have in their collections to create the look.

 There was a HUGE selection!

And I was very tempted by the blue cushions and chair.

But I stuck to my pre-decided brief of neutrals, 

and proceeded to choose all that shouted 'You're The One'!
There was an awful lot of them!
But the following are the ones that captured my heart.

Two sofas - in Oyster coloured fabric.

Facing each other with the ottoman between.

Pillows for on sofas - crown beaded grey pillow

A velvet beaded wave pillow

and beaded pillows.

Tufted (recliner) Chair

Luxe ivory faux fur pillow for one chair - and two each for sofas.

A tufted rectangle ottoman with trays as coffee table

A rug in ivory underneath.

The pillar tray would go on the top of the ottoman.

A beautiful, large Chandelier!

Luxe Ivory Faux Fur Throw

for a stylish yet comforting tactile touch.

End tables x 2 in pewter

One with St Augustine carved lamp on it.

The other with a vase of flowers.

The glass cylinder would look fabulous with white flowers in it.

maybe chrysanthemums.

Above the mantel, I like a mirror.

(This room is a TV-free zone if you are wondering)

This mirror would be perfect.

But I'd hang two side by side for a focal point in the room.

On the wall - The Herd Print.

And also the leaf tray.

Hung as wall art.

The Bookcase is a complete statement piece.

I LOVE it!

Wouldn't the Elk antlers be fab on that shelf?

(Horizontal, not vertical).

I'm also thinking a DIY love sign would be a fun addition to the  bookcase styling.

But I'd change the cord colour from black to dark grey.

Visit HERE to find out how to create one.

I'd also keep some of my loved white ceramics to add to

the Arhaus decor accessories for the bookcase and mantel.

This bowl is in antique brass,

 and, it would be perfect to grow Phalaenopsis orchids in.

If you want to know how to grow them in a bowl,

The Deer Vase...

This cute Iron Sparrow Figurine...

3 Tier Iron Candle Holder...

And the dome.

I would add a mini potted plant (faux or real),

a pillar candle in white,

or a white rabbit figurine for Easter display.

As an artist, I work with intense colour all day.

So while the neutrals may not be to everyone's liking, 

for me, it would be the 'AHHHH' at the end of a busy day.

So why not visit 'Arhaus' home to create your own 'Inspirational Dream Lounge Mood Board'?

I am now very inspired after creating one to start making the changes.

As I'm sure you will be too!
