Slipcovered Shabby Chic sofas, heaped with hand-sewn pillows, flank this living room fireplace. The leather armchair is by Jean de Merry; the owners had the small antler side table custom made.
Throw Pillows
In a white living room, throw pillows should serve as more than a decorative element. A layer of cushions instantly corrects the problem of a too-deep sofa and adds visual interest and depth. But avoid over-accessorizing a shallow one—remember, people need space to sit.
Antique White
White decor looks anything but basic in a living room filled with antique finds. Instead of family photos, hang mirrors of various sizes in a stairwell to reflect the light palette.
Neutral Vintage Living Room
The owner of this light-filled living room found imaginative applications for vintage finds—she turned a 19th-century wooden tub into a coffee table and utilized an antique checkerboard as a unique piece of art.
Bold White
Textures and shapes are enhanced against white. Subtle but significant details, such as the original paint of a vintage fireplace mantel and the bold lines of an 18th-century American cupboard, stand out when displayed against a backdrop of plain white walls.
