Layering Area Rugs

01/28/2020 By Bre

I mentioned in yesterdays post how one of the ways I love to add layers into my rooms is by layering area rugs. Now I get that this isn’t always doable at first when you are decorating, because affording one new area rug can be pricey on it’s own. But when looking for areas to add more layers to your spaces this is a great way to achieve that layered look we all desire, without over complicating things. Today I’m sharing some of my favorite layered area rug looks.

My Favorite Home Decor Staples for adding Layers

01/27/2020 By Bre

In my last post I broke things down and shared how I add layers into our Living Room decor to create that cozy and inviting feeling you see. I started by removing all the added decor from our Living Room and stripped the room down to the bare essentials. Our sofa and area rug were all that remained. Then I shared step by step how I add pieces back into our living room – layer by layer. So many of the pieces of decor that I have in our living room I consider my home decor staples, so today I’m sharing my favorite home decor staples, that I love to use when adding layers to the rooms in our home.

How I add Layers in our Living Room

01/24/2020 By Bre

One of the statements I hear most often regarding our home, is how cozy our living room looks. It truly is my most favorite space in our entire house, and I love how warm and inviting it feels in person too. One look at our couch, and it’s just asking you to come and plop down in between the layers of throw pillows and take a load off. Whenever I’m relaxing in this space I always find myself letting out a big exhale and admiring the room I’ve created. One of the things I believe that is a key contributor in making this space so cozy and inviting are the layers I’ve carefully added over the years. I didn’t realize while I was in the middle of the process, but every time I would analyze what was missing in our living room it would always come back to the layered look I’ve acquired. So today I’m sharing just how I added layers in our living room, and why I think they are key to making any space cozy and inviting.

Hello Friends! I don’t know about you, but this time of year is my favorite time to re-evaluate our homes current state. I like to go through each room and take note of the things in there I truly love, and what I’m not loving so much. It’s the perfect time to really take note of what we have in our homes, and it also helps me define my style a little bit better. When I don’t have anything seasonal out, and there are no upcoming holidays, I really get a true sense for how our home is decorated. If you are in feeling that same way, then be sure to check out my post below, Does Your Home Tell Your Story.
