And whether you are a seasoned pro or a first time host, inviting others into your “safe-space”, can leave us feeling a little exposed at times. I’ll be honest, I’m nervous of what their first impression might be, what they are thinking as they step into our home, whether it’s for the 1st time or 15th time. Keep reading to find out how I push past the fear of perfection when inviting others into our home….

Hello friends!! I’m so glad that so many of you have been enjoying my posts lately about how I add layers in our living room! More than any one piece of decor, I think adding layers are really where the difference gets made in how our homes feel. We all long for warm, inviting spaces, and adding layers is a sure way to achieve that feeling. In case you missed it, you can read all about it HERE. Today we have another round of Easy Elegance Wednesday, and I’m so happy to be apart of this group with such talented women. There are so many great decorating tips and advice shared in todays post, you will definitely want to check it out below ~
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.
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.
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.
