Clean + Neutral Living Room Shelf Styling + Decor Refresh

I got to use all of my favorite shelf styling basics on this client’s living room shelves refresh last week! We added tons of visual interest to these entertainment center shelves with layers and stacking. I like to start with placing the larger objects and books that I can stack smaller trinkets + frames on or around. Once I have these balanced, I add depth by layering frames and other decor items in front of one another.

Cozy Bohemian Midcentury Living Room Project

Cozy Bohemian Midcentury Living Room Project

Today I’m sharing this cozy midcentury boho living room that is one of my favorite designs I’ve done so far this year! I love all the muted, but fun colors in here, tons of texture, and mix of woods, metals, and fabrics. The mounted shelf is such a fun addition to this room and so perfect for filling a random, empty nook, and the styling options are endless (AND it’s super affordable)! We also added some personal touches throughout the space- for example, most of the artwork in the gallery wall was photography done by my client’s husband! Take a look at more photos of this space below and shop everything I used as well! If you have questions about anything not mentioned, feel free to ask in the comments below!

Bachelor Pad Living Room Project: Before + After

Bachelor Pad Living Room Project: Before + After

If you’ve been following along with my design projects, you know a good chunk of last year was taken up with my bachelor pad project. We started with a completely empty house (the client literally just had a mattress!) and we transformed it into the coolest and coziest bachelor pad around! The living room is the centerpiece of the home and probably my favorite space. We added some built-in shelving on each side of the fireplace that really pulled the whole room together (shelving was done by Miller Team Renovations). This client wanted a mix of modern and masculine for the space (leathers and neutrals) but also for everything to be comfortable and practical! I love how the space pulled together and think it will be stylish and functional for years to come. Check out some before and after photos as well as shopping links for the items we used below!

Modern Farmhouse Living Room Design

Modern Farmhouse Living Room Design

It’s amazing how much impact your accessories have on the overall feel of a room. This project was a “decor refresh” where we kept all the main pieces but switched out small accessories/decor to completely transform the overall style of this living room. This client wanted to modernize their farmhouse living room and make it more clean and simple overall. They already had great, quality furniture pieces, so there was no need to replace any of those! We stripped down the space and updated small items like lamps, coffee table accessories, wall decor, and pillows! The end product is so classic but also modern and chic and will last this couple for years to come!
