Why This Works (On a New Day!)

Welcome to the series Why This Works... where I highlight a designed space and talk about why (I think) it's perfection. If you've been with me for a while, you may know that I usually post this series on Fridays. Well... I have a new plan up my sleeve for Fridays! I am starting a new series tomorrow that goes in a different direction than my blog has gone so far. Stay tuned tomorrow to find out!

This beautiful living room comes to you from Pinterest and is a chic, fun space!

I instantly fell for this room for its pops of color and serene, airy backdrop. The light gray walls are a perfect jumping off point to compliment the magenta and gold hues sprinkled throughout the space. The room starts off as a traditional space with the neutral colors, drapery and wing back chairs, yet exudes modern fun with its hip suzani print chair and fresh, bold colors. The area rug seems traditional and subtle and works so well with the brightness of the modern X bench and pillows. The fresh flowers make the space feel warm and inviting and the fun, modern vibe makes this room a great place to entertain and unwind!

This space is also a hint to the direction of tomorrow's new series! And guess what?? It's not interior design that I will focus on tomorrow. I can't wait!
