I haven’t been focusing much on decorating recently – so much of my time seems to be taken up with day-to-day activities, and it’s hard to find time to focus on the big picture. However, I couldn’t ignore my TV room any longer – the bareness and lack of color coordination was bringing me down!
BEFORE: I really started to dislike the black and pink combination…and those bare walls were getting on my nerves!
AFTER: Much better…I got rid of the pink and replaced it with aqua and cream. I bought the fluffy pillows at Home Outfitters (similar here) and the chevron ones from Etsy. Finding appropriate artwork for this wall was quite difficult – I wanted one large piece but hadn’t found anything suitable ANYWHERE! I decided to put up several smaller prints to fill up the space. I went with my favorite “Keep CALM” posters – purchasing several different shades from Etsy to create an ombre effect.
Ideally I’d still love to find a large piece to fill the wall (love the one Jen suggested in this post), but I’m happy for now…Everything feels much more cheerful and chic – and for some reason, I always feel CALM in this space ….wonder why?

I LOVE it! It looks so much more pulled together.
Thanks – I'm much happier with it now 🙂
Gorgeous, gorgeous! I love the little pillows, chevron is such a cute trend that makes anything look more chic. It's amazing how simple accents really change up the look and vibe of a room. It's great because it can actually be affordable!
I am really loving chevron too – it is an easy way to make the room feel modern & up to date!
I would gladly hire you if we were closer together. I desperately need my home decorated (haven't really done much since the move) but I have no energy to do it!!Would you be willing to share this or another post on my blog next week??Sequins&Stilettos
I know what you mean about having no energy to decorate…it can easily become low on my list of priorities, but once I got around to it, it made such a positive impact on my mood 🙂
cute <3
Thanks Jenn!
It looks great! I love the color scheme and those chevron pillows are so pretty.
Thanks Schnelle – I'm so glad I could find something that worked with the dark leather sofa…it was pretty hard to coordinate with!
I love it! The pillows are perfect! And don't worry- every room is a work in progress, and I always think it's a good idea to decorate with what you have and what you like until you find the perfect pieces for that room, so good on you for refreshing the space!
Thanks Jen – it's amazing what a difference small changes can make 🙂 I'm still on the lookout for a larger art piece, but luckily the pillows and posters can be easily repurposed around the house when I do find it.
Love this, the cushions look amazing! x
