Interior Design: Creating your Living Room as if it comes from a Magazine

We would show you that creating each and every room in your house can be done with a magazine flare and with a low budget and have the same effects at the end.

We will take this living room from House & Garden UK magazine and we will show you how you can recreate it in your own living room. You can also make simply some changes in your current living room, where you can only have to include some accessories, maybe change that coffee table or include the carpet. that will depend on what you have and the feeling you would like to bring to the room.

We will go into IKEA website and we will look at items that can recreate this  space with a little bit of money.

The basics items are the big ones, the sofa, the carpet and the tables ( coffee and side tables). With that in your budget you will be able to start working.

You can choose from the simple sofa Klippan Sofa  which prices are around $400 CA to a Kivik one which is the one we are proposing for this arrangements.

After you get the basic items, you just need to include the accessories. Please remember that for the accessories you can go your own way. In order to maintain the look like in the picture, just keep in mind that you must select the color you would like to be the predominant in the area, in this exercise the color is blue.

I hope you have a good time playing with this decor game, there is so much fun creating or recreating a room in your house. I love to go shopping at flea markets, where you will be able to find fantastic details that you can  change, re-paint or just use them as they are in your house. if you live in Montreal you might have to wait for Summer to go to a Flea market, but the wait is worthy.

Enjoy your day, remember Spring is just around the corner and so is Saint Patrick's day. if you love the blue in this post think about green, it's just another great color for the month.

See you tomorrow, stay warm, it's still freezing cold in Montreal.
