Liven Up Your Living Room

More Spaces from Maggie's Cozy Home

Gracious, beautiful dining room, Our dining rooms plays perfectly off of our formal living space. It is a mix of formal and casual, which fits our lifestyle. I have many pieces that I love in our space. My furniture is more on the casual side. It is paired with a perfect chandelier, beautiful artwork, and a stunning rug which ties the room all together. The drapery in the room came with the home. I intend to change it out later this year. It has worked and blends in with the space. The color pallet in the space is very relaxing and makes for enjoyable dinner parties. Enjoy and thanks for viewing!, Dining Rooms Design

Formal, warm and inviting living room, This is the room that would typically be called the formal living room. We are casual and have young children. I think the space is well suited to our lifestyle. It is a perfect space for conversation or to curl up and read a book. After dinner parties we generally circulate into the space for after dinner drinks and dessert. I still need to change out the previous drapery. It is not my style. It does match to some degree so it has been a little farther down on my to do list. I'll get them done, hopefully this year. Enjoy and thanks for looking!, Living Rooms Design

Foyer, Our Foyer was a difficult space to fill. A couple years ago I asked for opinions on the corner space where the olive jars are placed. I ended up filling them with florals and I feel they look great. They fit the space and ended up being good option for a difficult area. I keep our foyer open and free from clutter. My children like to use the space for overflow from their playroom when playing. It is warm and inviting space, which I think greets our guests nicely into our home. During parties I place a beautiful center table in the middle of my rug. It has worked well to place a guest book and beautiful arrangements that tie to the theme of my parties. I think it is a fabulous space that can work well during different times of the year. In these pictures you will see how we keep it on a typical basis. Enjoy! , Other Spaces Design

Relaxing, casual kitchen, This is our kitchen. It overlooks our sunken family room. I wish several things were different with our space but we live with what we have. I think I have made good use of the space. I don't like clutter and keep my counters free of it. I do like our counters and the back splash. I also love our kitchen table and leather chairs. I put glass over the wood the protect it. I have three little ones and it makes clean up much easier. I know it isn't very pretty to look at. I also have two boosters for my twins at the table. I have matching chairs that they will graduate to someday. Our curtains are a new addition and add some color and fun. They coordinate well with our drapery in the family room. Enjoy looking. Thanks!, Kitchens Design

Home for the Holidays, Our home for Christmas. The tree in the family room is small for the space. One day I will replace it. Right now I like the size because it is easy for my children to hang ornaments on. It is our Santa Tree. Our home is warm and family friendly. Our three children love all the decorations and I hope they always have fond, holiday memories. , Holidays Design

Foyer-Entryway, Please HELP! I am in the process of finishing our entry way. I did two mock scenes today of our space. I have three olive jars that I just threw some greenery and sticks in to give it a feel for the space. If I go with the olive jars they will have a more uniform finish but still be a bit rustic.
The other scene I created is with a round table and floral arrangement on top. If I go with the table choice, I will purchase one that is taller and bigger in diameter. I also would do a much larger arragement on top.
Please help me with choosing one of these two ideas. My entry is a hard space to work with. I have three little kids that love to run through the space so it has to be friendly and open for them. I also want what will look the best to greet people when they come through our door.
THANKS!!!, Other Spaces Design

Living Room, In my 1930's home, I've tried hard to integrate my modern taste with some of the traditional elements, such as the moldings and archways. In my living room, I used a sort of greige-ish hue to accent my red couch and chair. My coffee table is from my grandmother's farmhouse - freshened up with a coat of glossy black paint on the base. My favorite piece is my linen and nailhead chest of drawers, which adds the perfect amount of pattern and texture to the room., Living Rooms Design

Our 1st and new home, We haven't done much work on the house. Cleaning was major. Decorating took some time since we moved from a smaller house. What do you think of the finished home?

Single Gal's Modern Living Room, I bought my first house, a townhouse, about 2 years ago and have been decorating and perfecting its style ever since.

I love the living room's clean white walls and fireplace contrasted with the pops of green., Living Rooms Design
