We recently remodeled our circa 1929 home in Dallas, Texas. I am currently working on designing the interior spaces and this ideabook serves as the inspiration for our "formal" living room, which I want to feel relaxed enough that we can enjoy the room day in and day out. It opens to our family room and the foyer, and gets a fair share of through-traffic as a result. Like most, the budget is not unlimited, so this plan offers a mix of higher-end pieces with more affordable pieces for a nice mix.

Scarlett Fabric »
The texture on this fabric is amazing; the photo doesn't do it justice. The background is a light pink-lavender and the flower centers are a beautiful gold embroidery. I would use this fabric for curtains.

This sofa, manufactured by Norwalk and designed by Candice Olsen, is a favorite of mine. It is relatively affordable and I love the graceful lines of its sillhouette. I would upholster it in a light lavender-pink silk.

Pueblo Rug »
I love the relaxed look of a natural fiber rug mixed with more formal elements such as silk fabric and great art. It helps give a formal living room a bit more of a young and relaxed vibe.

Annecy Arm Chair - $4,700.00 »
The Annecy Arm Chair, by Niermann Weeks, has long been a favorite of mine. The lines on the chair are so graceful and the arms have exquisite carved details. I would use a pair of these against the living room wall to flank the French doors, and use them for extra seating while entertaining.

Calm Paint »
I love Benjamin Moore's Calm, which is part of their off-white color palette. This color is a pale gray with the slightest of lavender undertone. I would use it on the walls.

Thais I Painting - $2,400.00 »
I am into abstract art at the moment and Kate Long Stevenson is one of my favorite artists. I think this painting would work well with the colors in this living room. It would look perfect over the fireplace.

Orchid Melon Pulegoso Vintage Murano Lamps - $3,600.00 »
I have a slight obsession with vintage Murano glass lamps that have been updated and mounted on Lucite. I think a pair of raspberry-colored vintage lamps would be a great contrast to the rustic wood on the consoles being used to flank the fireplace.

Iron And Stone Oval Coffee Table »
I love the shape of this coffee table and the natural element that the stone brings. I think the gold finish on the metal will go well with the other gold elements in this space.
