Our Coastal Cottage Residing Room Makeover

At the moment I’m excited to share the latest additions to our coastal cottage lounge!

After we moved into this residence 4 years in the past, it was already furnished—which made it really easy for us to downsize right here comfortably and save furnishings choices for a future time.

It’s such a small (however vital!) room, we didn’t wish to rush to fill it.

Little by little, season by season, we used items we needed to make it cozy and comfy whereas making some modifications to the backdrops of the room (together with new flooring) and linked areas (through the kitchen renovation!).

This 12 months, we lastly arrived at a much-anticipated chapter: updating our furnishings (we selected these stunning items from Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma. You will note sources linked all through this publish and a supply record on the finish!

It’s not our first time investing in items from the Williams-Sonoma household of manufacturers (together with Pottery Barn), and it gained’t be our final!

Actually, we’ve had three favourite lounge sofas over time—throughout a number of completely different properties—and each single one has been from their collections. (The York, the Brooklyn Leather-based, and one other PB couch I purchased secondhand just like the Buchanan).

They’ve confirmed to be timeless in fashion and lengthy lasting high quality, and have aged fantastically by way of day by day life and lots of strikes.

The opposite sofas had been handed on to our household after we downsized—together with the slipcovered one we gave to my daughter, and the leather-based now within the Tiny Cottage for my mother!

So it was no shock to us that when the time got here to refresh this house, we returned to what we all know and love: first the Williams-Sonoma Dwelling loveseat, and now Pottery Barn chairs and ottomans (two two of those in blue traditional stripe and this one in chambray efficiency brushed heathered weave)!

This room is a small pass-through house used equally to what’s referred to as a Retaining Room! Tucked beside the hearth close to the kitchen and eating nook, it’s the type of cosy spot the place you collect for dialog earlier than or after dinner, curl up by the fireplace, sip morning espresso, or get misplaced in a superb guide.

I had particular wants when selecting these items—nothing too outsized, however nonetheless inviting and comfortable.

We additionally needed non-toxic materials and furnishings that would stand as much as pets, infants and on a regular basis life.

After a lot thought and analysis I landed on a wonderful striped cloth for our darling loveseat and a captivating pair of patterned wingback chairs from Pottery Barn.

Their traditional form provides a bit of drama and top with out taking on an excessive amount of house—plus, I’ve all the time liked how wingbacks make you’re feeling tucked in, nearly cocooned. They’re good for our wants on this house.

Years in the past, I had an identical pair of wingbacks and ottomans that I offered in a transfer and have regretted it ever since. These really feel like a long-awaited return residence!

Although we had been beginning contemporary with furnishings, I nonetheless needed the room to really feel traditional and picked up.

I deliberately selected timeless items in coordinating (not matching) materials, with charming patterns fairly than all solids.

Cozy Coastal Cottage Style The Inspired Room

A comfy mixture of textures and tones, a number of versatile ottomans (good for propping up ft and versatile additional spots to perch wherever within the room) plus a sturdy wool rug that grounds the room with a mushy sample—all of it got here collectively to create an area that feels heat, private, and so very livable!

I blended in some new equipment from Pottery Barn with treasures we’ve collected: an vintage bamboo cart from my mother, a marble topped classic washstand (a favourite Fb Market discover), and artwork that has a narrative to inform.

I’m thrilled that we lastly have this stunning new furnishings in right here! It feels so cozy and welcoming to our household.

We love that this room has come collectively piece by piece!

My favourite rooms all the time evolve over time, so after all, we’ll nonetheless be making small tweaks and seasonal modifications.

I consider {that a} true sanctuary isn’t completed. It needs to be a mirrored image of the individuals who stay there, so this room will inform the continued story of our lives.

I’m excited for all the methods we will proceed to make this house and residential our personal (and I have already got a number of extra updates to share with you!).

I’ll be sharing extra about our furnishings and accent decisions and this (ever evolving!) room quickly! I’m so grateful to Pottery Barn for partnering with me, gifting some favourite new items and equipment!
