Project Description:
I am looking for a classy polished calming/natural decor look for my house. Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams is the type of classy look I like. I like West Elm for its natural feel. And Home Goods has great accessories. Crate and Barrel and CB2 are fresh. I would characterize my style as transitional with Scandinavian inspiration. I also like Indian, African, and Native American style influences. I've tried incorporating an indoor vine wall (fake vines) and some grape wood branches for a more earthy feel. I've got some plants in there. I also tried using some mirror panels. But the look just isn't coming together. Other people like my decor, but I'm sure with your professional eye, you'll see what I'm saying. I think scale may have something to do with it... And lack of something that draws the eye. Idk...
My living room, kitchen, and dining room are all together (open floor plan). I'm just seeking assistance for the living room and dining room parts. I'm OK with replacing some things if I'm convinced it's the best option for the space, but I'm hoping to keep the more expensive items. However, I've been thinking of dyeing/bleaching the curtains white... And refacing the Fireplace...I want to have dinner parties. I've always wanted to entertain, even though the dining area is small.
For my bedroom, I need 100% styling. I only want to keep my bed but change everything else. I'm ok with a wallpaper accent wall in here. It's a weird limiting space, though.
I realize that most of my pictures for inspiration have great natural light. I don't have the option for natural light, but I'm open to hearing options on how to optimize the light in my rooms. I have recessed lighting in my living room and I use daylight light bulbs.
It would be cool if my art could be from African-American artists, but not a requirement. I want my home to give us an accomplished motivating feeling. I like chainmail in home decor. It's amazing when done right.
I have an air purifier in my bedroom - black air purifier (16"w x 9"d x 19"h). I plan on getting one for the living dining area too.
