Live & Faux Greenery

Incorporating plants and greenery into interior design brings life, freshness, and a sense of tranquility to indoor spaces. From large potted plants to delicate succulents, greenery adds natural beauty and a touch of serenity to any room. Timeless indoor plants like fiddle leaf figs, or olive trees not only enhance air quality but also contribute to a timeless, biophilic design that connects inhabitants with nature. And, we love incorporating faux versions of each also.

5 Ways to Add Warmth to a White Living Room

1. UPHOLSTERY & TEXTURE

• ‍Textured Throws and Pillows: Incorporate soft, textured throws and plush pillows in warm tones such as cream, beige, or earthy hues. Layering these on your custom upholstery will instantly add coziness and warmth.
• ‍Area Rug: Introduce an area rug with a plush pile or a natural texture like jute or wool in a neutral or warm color. This will anchor the space while adding softness underfoot and enhancing the cozy ambiance.
• ‍Cozy Reading Nook: Create a cozy reading nook with comfortable armchairs, then place a table lamp nearby for task lighting, and add a small side table to hold books and a warm cup of tea.

2. ARTWORK & ACCENTS

• ‍Layered Artwork: Combine oversized art with smaller pieces to create a visually interesting gallery wall. Choose artwork with warm tones or subjects that evoke a sense of warmth, such as landscapes or abstract paintings with warm color palettes.‍
• Accent Wall: Consider painting one wall in a warm, earthy tone, to create a focal point and add depth to the space. Alternatively, use wallpaper with a textured or patterned design in warm tones to add visual interest.‍

3. GREENERY & PERSONALITY

• ‍Personal Touches: Incorporate personal touches such as family photos, heirlooms, or souvenirs from travels to make the space feel warm and inviting. Display these items on shelves or mantels alongside greenery and other decorative accents for a personalized touch.
  

4. METAL & DECOR

• ‍Warm Wood Accents: Incorporate wooden elements on a coffee table, or to shelves in a warm wood tone like walnut or oak. These natural materials will complement the modern rustic metal accents and add a sense of warmth and earthiness to the room.‍
• Decorative Accents: Incorporate decorative accents such as woven baskets, ceramic vases, or hammered metal bowls in warm metallic finishes. These accessories will add personality to the room while enhancing its warmth and inviting feel.

5. REFLECTION & LIGHTING‍

• Soft Lighting: Install warm-toned LED bulbs or add table lamps and floor lamps with fabric or paper shades in soft, warm hues. This will create a soft, inviting glow and enhance the cozy atmosphere of the room, especially in the evenings.
• ‍Candles and Candle Holders: Place scented candles in stylish holders throughout the room. Opt for fragrances like vanilla, cinnamon, or amber to add an extra layer of warmth and create a cozy ambiance.
