One Easy Way to Update Your Living Room

Every so often, we feel like certain rooms in our house need a facelift. We may be ready for a small change but not ready to make any drastic updates and luckily, sometimes the smallest changes can make a big difference. If you’re not ready to replace furniture or get out the paintbrush then one idea for bringing a fresh new look to your space is by replacing your throw pillows. It might not seem like much, but new pillows can bring your living room back to life and allow you to play with different colors, textures and themes. We recently partnered up with Loloi Rugs to update both of our cozy living/family room areas. We are so excited to have found out about this brand because their quality of products and selection is both so beautiful and unique.

I have a permanent obsession with the color teal (or any version of this color including mint, seafoam, turquoise...you get the picture!) Whenever I'm shopping at any decor store, I gravitate to this color and try to find any reason to bring home that gorgeous distressed teal end table... But let's be honest, there are much more cost-effective ways to bring this color into a room. I usually update our throw pillows once or twice a year to keep things fresh (and my budgets in line) and I recently decided it was that time again and of course, my eyes went right to the teal color family. I am such a big fan of these two very different but complementary style pillows. The mix of different textures and sizes keeps things interesting and offers a cozy feel which is exactly what I want to maintain in our front room. The large square pillow has such a fun texture and catches your eye right away and as for the smaller one, the tassels bring a bit of playfulness to the room. Now, I just have to keep my dog from thinking it's one of his toys or the baby from putting them in his mouth! ;)

Welcome to my loft or as we like to call it the most cozy room in our home. We do everything from having our weekly "family movie nights" to our Sunday morning snuggles here. Let me back up a bit and tell you a bit about this couch. When we bought our new home last year, we picked this couch based solely on the comfort level of it and the fact that both sides recline (yes, you can literally sleep on this bad boy). When it was delivered, the couch was way too big for the room, so we took the center section out. This left it more compact and less pretty to look at. That said, it is so super cozy but it does need a little face lift. An easy way to do so? Add great throw pillows of course! 

I absolutely love these tassel pillows. By switching out my old teal pillows and adding these black, cream, and rust colored ones, the room instantly looks different. It's also the perfect color pallet for this time of year. The texture on these is so fun and gives the room more of a rustic feel..which I love. Our Sunday morning snuggles are going to be much more cozy this week and that's a fact!
