Small changes to the living room

Being at home as much as I have been this last week led me to make a few little changes to my living room. My living room receives lots of daylight as it is surrounded by three large windows so it is a pleasant place to relax and oh, it is nice when you love being at home, isn't it?


The updates I made is to replace the 2 seater leather sofa with a velvet 1960s sofa that I won on eBay. The camera doesn't capture the true dusty pink colour of the sofa though. It is such a pretty colour.
I also replaced the lamp shades with the one from the study and Robbie's bedroom to add a bit of colour to the room. I think I'll keep the room as is for a little while as it is cheering me up being surrounded my colour.

How was your weekend? Is anyone else like me, do you tend to brighten up your environment, or maybe your wardrobe to lift up your mood?

    1. It is! It looks smaller than the pictures my indicate so I can't stretch out but it's definitely one for curling up with a book.

  6. Styled to perfection I love the mix of colours and the empty gold frame. I defy the cold weather by bringing out the bright coushins (ok and a warm rug!)

  11. I love changing things around in the home, its fun isnt it. LOVE your new changes..and that pink tufted sofa is divine and so very you. I cant help but keep thinking how awesome that sideboard you have in your studio would look in your living space..its such a beautiful piece and I think it would add another nice earthy element to that space. Loving the pops of colour you have going on...all looks so inviting, cosy and happy ; ) x

    1. I have been seriously contemplating this Anna. It's a lovely sideboard and a shame for it to hide away in the garage/studio. But I don't have the room in the living room. Shame!
