This living room mood board is typical of my aesthetic — I refer to it as “casually elegant.” Elements of formality like the velvet sofa, embroidered pillows and brushed gold console table are balanced with a sanded oak coffee table, faux bois side table and a shagreen mirror. The neutrals are accented by the blues in the rug, which are my secondary shades. The fire screen, the octagonal back of the occasional chair and the reeded front of the chest all add geometric visual interest. The rug reminds me of running water and it anchors the entire room with movement and pattern without being too busy.
“I design with a lot of livable neutrals accented with color and I love using geometry as a way to bring visual interest.”
