Living room décor ideas

Hello my blog friends! It has been a long silent period since my last post, but moving from one country to a new one with two 2-years old twins is certainly not an easy task. Moving an entire home was a complex process and involved a lot of stress and physical work. Once all this was done, I had to deal with all the bureaucratic procedures in Germany but luckily things work faster than Greece or Italy. Afterwards our vacation started, first in our charming Israel and currently in our beloved Greece!


As I mentioned before, we have decided not to bring our old furniture with us due to elevated shipping cost, consequently our new house must be fully furnished and decorated from scratch!  That being so, I am eager to share with you interior design ideas, as well as my wish lists while I am looking forward to your suggestions!

I am in deep thought about our living room, especially due to our small budget.   Until now we purchased a white eco leather corner sofa, despite my passion for fabric ones and my mother who urged me to pick a different color; In retrospect I am happy with our decision so far, since it is easy to clean up the pitching food or the 'artistic attempts' provoked by our wild messy and creative toddlers with a baby wipe or a makeup removal lotion  and grime just comes off pretty good!  

To my opinion, the white sofa in a white room needs to be accessorized by colorful contemporary accent pieces, in order  to break up the continuous look of white. Minimalistic white or beige curtains, contemporary floor lamps and table lamps in pink and / or yellow, different sized couch accent pillows in bright colors, mix and match photographs and paintings to adorn the white walls, a solid-colored loveseat or armchair to offset the airy white elements may add warmth and character to our living room .. In a nutshell, I opt for creating a simple and undemanding yet cheerful and cozy décor which begs for barefoot chilling out moments with our kids and friends!

Under these circumstances, I have spent lately a huge amount of time looking at images of interiors and when I stumble across an idea that I like, I pin it! So here are some Pinterest ideas of white sofa living rooms, which I enjoyed recently .. which one do you like best?

  10. Nice Post! The home should look attractive in totality right from the kitchen to bedroom, living room area and bathroom. However, home decorating ideas you select to incorporate should be realistic too.
