Living the Living Room

Welcome to our home….

I have already invited you to our home, by showcasing the entrance, foyer and balcony garden. Today it's the turn of our living room...

When we are at home, the living room is a place where majority time of the day is spent. Our living room goes through two phases daily. The first one is, organizing the cushions, dusting & cleaning everything, keeping things at proper place and bla bla bla (Man in the house complains that I have a phobia of keeping things organized and systematic). Second is, when the sofas are occupied by us, cushions on the floor, TV in full volume, feet propped on the coffee table and few snacks jar just around for some munching.

Living room, also formally called as drawing room and somewhere that formal setup entered our living room unintentionally. This place of our home is blessed with sufficient space and sunshine. In fact so much natural light that sometimes even with all the curtains down, it's difficult to get a good snap from this angle during day time. 
Above and below, same day, same setting, but with two different lightings. One thing you can see is, I love to keep things always simple and clutter free. 
We love deep rich wood tones, normally and for reasons as well. When we moved to this place, the 1st thing we purchased was the sofa. We went for a dark brown one, considering the high level of dust, thought it will be easy to maintain a darker shade (though my heart was longing for a white sofa then). Then after this whatever furniture entered into our home was in brown shade, to maintain uniformity.


On the coffee table I always prefer to display some vignettes, but limit them to a tray. Because living room is our favorite place to have dinner just in front of the TV. So with one lift & one move of the tray, coffee table can turn into a dinner table.


Though generally I don’t or unable to do major changes in arrangements of my living room, but I keep on changing and displaying different items on the side table and coffee table on weekly basis.


I love to decorate our home with my handmade and DIY items. Other than this have a soft corner for handicrafts. So these items are dominantly found among the decor accessories. 

Hope you loved a tour of our living room *smiles*, will try to showcase you other rooms of our home in near future...
