My Dream Home: White Living Room Decorating Ideas

by Dagmar Bleasdale on January 30, 2011

This is my dream living room:

Not! *shudder* Just wanted to see if you’re paying attention.

I love living rooms that feel comfy and inviting, and my latest obsession is white living rooms. This one is nice, but it needs more color.

I would add a huge, colorful picture above the fireplace, like I did above this old school desk upstairs:

I like the idea of old signs that make a big statement. And that white coffee table is just wonderful and quirky.

Here is one of the signs we have in our home:

This is a cute idea, but you either need to have a lot of little kids in the house to pull this off or friends who don’t mind sitting on kids’ chairs when they come over.

I have a lot of inexpensive ottoman cubes in our house that I push under tables when we don’t need them.

They come in handy when the Bleasdale Clan or friends are visiting. Another plus: they hide a lot of Landon’s toys.

What color is your living room?

    I knew that wasn’t your style! LOL. If you had changed, I would have been sad. I love your comfy style! I’d love to see your dream bathroom. Bathroom’s are my favorite rooms in homes. (Although as you know, Frank didn’t know how much I liked bathrooms :o/)

    I love the relaxing vibe from the second living room (first one . . . not so much!). And I definitely vote for seeing your dream office, next!

    I thought you were on crack when I saw that first photo. Clearly I know that your sense of style has nothing to do with modern, angular pieces. ;) I love those little stools lined up along that bench acting as a coffee table. So unique! I’m really enjoying this series Dagmar. I’d love to see your dream bathroom next!

    I have an old school and a perfect corner to put it upstairs in our house! GREAT idea I am borrowing from you. I would really like to see your dream office ideas. Because I need them! I spend A LOT of time working from my home office. It needs help. Happy Sunday!
