Back in March I purged almost all of our living room furniture/decor because I decided I was only going to keep the things that I loved…turned out there was a lot I was just holding onto simply because it filled the space. I got really excited about the idea of a quick living room refresh and I purchased a new sofa to kick things off….but if you’ve been following along you know we got side tracked with our bedroom renovation instead.
Fast forward to today and our bedroom is SO CLOSE to done, but we’re on pause momentarily until I find/refurbish a dresser for the room…so I gave myself one day to rework the living room a little.
Aside from rearranging the furniture (Been doing that a lot this year), the main thing I needed…ok wanted…was new chairs. Something that felt timeless and cabin appropriate. A simple fabric that worked with anything and a shape that didn’t feel heavy…aka the seat needed to be off the ground with open legs. (Big bulky furniture would just crowd our small living room.)
I searched through Walmart Home’s products and I found THE chairs….and some pillows and throws too. 🙂 They’re perfect! The ivory fabric serves as a perfect base layer and it matches our sofa fabric so well. (BTW I have an idea for these chairs that I’ll share soon!) The muted olive green pillows with vertical stripes compliment the room perfectly (note: I added my own feather pillow inserts for that extra fluffy look). And a plaid blanket to drape over the arm is a perfect start to decorating our living room again.
As for the rest of the room….well I’m still on a never ending hunt for the perfect antique coffee table.
You can find so many beautiful pieces at Walmart! In fact, I pulled together a few more Walmart Home favorites that have that California casual, luxe but relaxed look. I want #7 for my matches, I bought #6 too, and #3 would be sooo cute if you have open shelving in your kitchen.
