I started this “get the look” series earlier this year, and this week is Get the Look: Living Room Decor. It is a fun, moody, elegant look, and I am sharing how to get the same look in your home.
I have also shared our kitchen, and you can get that look HERE!

Here are the main elements used in the space:
- Fun traditional rug
- Velvet Tufted Chair
- Tufted Mid-Century Sofa
- Moody Floral Art
- Gold Wall Lamps
- Velvet Pillow Covers
Rug
This rug made my living room, and it can make your space too. It a fun twist on color and tradition and one of my most asked about items in our home.
Chair
This velvet tufted chair is pretty and great for conversation. It doesn’t take up a lot of space, so it is perfect in front of a fireplace.
Sofa
This tufted mid-century sofa is a great way to add a little modern touch to your space.
Artwork
This moody floral artwork is photograph, and it is by far one of my favorite pieces in our home.
Lighting
I use these gold wall lamps all over our home. They are inexpensive, easy to install and add more light to any space. Read more on wall lamps HERE.
Paint Color
The paint color I used in the family room is Valspar’s Night View. It is my favorite deep navy paint color. It is absolutely gorgeous and makes for the most perfect sophisticated moody space.
Pillows
I found an inexpensive source for all different colors of velvet pillow cases. I love adding velvet (go here to see my affordable velvet furniture roundup) to any space.

Our living room was filled with our old home’s hand-me-downs, and they never fit our current space. The furniture looked forced in the room, and the sofa cushions were ripped (which meant strategic placement of pillows and throws).
While planning the makeover, I knew the room needed a couple of accent chairs and sofas. I also wanted a bolder color for the space. I fell in love with a floral shop display I saw when I was in NYC last month – a navy wall with fun pops of color.
Here is a photo of the living room before the makeover:
And here’s the after:
We have a “man cave” where we watch most of our tv, so our living room is mainly for entertaining (we purchased leather sofas in the man cave from The RoomPlace several years ago and have been so pleased with their quality).
I wanted the newly designed living room to be a space that was elegant yet still comfortable. Also, we often host larger groups in our home and need plenty of seating.
The sofas are a soft gray chenille fabric and are sturdy but comfortable.
Keeping with the symmetrical look of the matching sofas, I wanted two chairs to place on either side of the fireplace.
The chairs have a more traditional look which contrasts nicely with the modern sofas. The nailhead trim is a gorgeous addition to the already pretty chairs – especially the oversized nailhead trim on the sides of the chairs.
Before the new furniture from The RoomPlace arrived, I added DIY paneled walls to either side of the fireplace and painted the walls in a deep navy (and I will be sharing the full tutorial for the paneling soon).
My furniture arrived quickly, and I was incredibly impressed with the delivery and service.
Set up was fast and the furniture was placed exactly where I wanted it.
I love the new spring makeover for our living room, and in less than a week our family room was transformed into a completely new space.
The furniture fits the room and invites guests in.
Pops of color were added through pillows and accent pieces.
The furniture gives us the maximum seating in our space without being overpowering.
Our family is loving the new space and the comfortable furniture.
