This California living room caught my eye the other week – the easy mix of bright white, gold, and shades of muted blue never cease to provide a calm, cool aesthetic that’s easy to dig. Although the room is simple, the design is in the details. It’s hard to tell in the first photo, but the sofa is one long, built-in window seat. The faded, worn color of the wood floor adds to the muted aesthetic, while black stripes in the rug and the flanking lamps root the room in some contrast. And I love the round lumbar pillows on the window seat, which reminded me of west elm’s new Monroe Mid-Century Sofa (hint hint: you’ll be seeing more of it soon). I took some creative liberty with my product selection, but I couldn’t resist taking the black and white rug a little further with a cowhide pattern…
