Design inspiration: Living rooms

Now that Xan and I finally feel settled into our new apartment (well, I guess it’s not that new anymore) I’ve been really inspired to get it designed. We’ve decided on a few pieces of furniture we think we need that will hopefully round things out really nicely. But, it’s taking a while to find them. We’re always very particular about what we bring into our space. In our old place that was because it was so small we had to be selective about what we brought in and because we had to make sure it fit. Nowadays, we’re thinking to the future a little more. We definitely have some furniture that was made for a studio apartment and while it worked really well there, now that we’re in a bigger place it’s not quite right. So, we’re trying to be thoughtful about what we bring in for the future. We don’t think we’ll be living in tiny apartments forever and it would be great if most of the furniture we get now could transition to a larger place when we need it to. Especially because we’re at the point where we’re starting to purchase nicer furniture.

All this is to say, I’ve been waaay into looking for design inspiration everywhere! So, I’ve included a round-up of my favorite living room inspirations.

Okay, I realize this isn't a traditional living room. More of an outdoor living room - but I love it anyway!. Image via Cheetah is the New Black
