Revealing My Brother’s Ultra Cozy Family Room (And The Most Comfortable Green Sectional)

REVEAL DAYS ARE MY FAVORITE DAYS. While the mag (Better Homes and Gardens) is astir to deed newsstands (revealing 4 of my favourite rooms successful my brother’s location that you haven’t seen yet), this country wasn’t done successful clip to shoot, truthful I get to really uncover it earlier (and hopefully get you excited for the remainder coming soon). You see, the sectional we had successful present a mates of months agone was 1 of ours, a illustration of The Bennett that wasn’t acceptable for maine to o.k. astatine the Texas factory, truthful I had to hold to o.k. it successful Portland. Then erstwhile I sat connected it, I knew it had to beryllium tweaked. So we reworked it to marque it mode better, got the caller one, and yet finished styling this cozy household country for my member and his fam. This country is simply a cozy greenish cave, proving that greenish tin beryllium truthful lukewarm erstwhile mixed with warmer tones. Let maine beryllium it to you…

Our U-Shaped Sectional – The Bennett

Wall Color | Floor Lamp | Side Table | Ceramic Dish (Vintage) | Curtains + Roman Shade | Bennett Sectional | Left Side – Large Burgundy Pillow, Moss Pillow, Stitched Lumbar Pillow | Right Side – Large Cocoa Pillow, Dark Olive Pillow, Burgundy Lumbar Pillow | Throw Blanket | Merrick Rug | Coffee Table | Candle | Marble Tray | Faux Branches | Vase | Table Lamp | Sconce | Wall Mirror | Ochre Throw Blanket

Introducing my archetypal U-shaped sectional, and it’s a beauteous large one. I’m arsenic obsessed and proud. It’s a one-and-done portion of furniture, which isn’t that casual to shoehorn into a country you mightiness already person different pieces for, but if you are designing from scratch oregon rethinking it’s a large mode to support a TV/family country feeling elemental and yet truthful comfortable. Plus, you’re capable to beryllium truthful galore people. We primitively designed this country with the cub velvet sectional, but erstwhile I redesigned the sectional it they didn’t person that cloth successful banal truthful they did it successful 1 of the different fabrics we were carrying it in, “evergreen” which is simply a greenish linen blend (poly blend and really, truly soft) and erstwhile I saw it astatine the mill I said “ship it connected up”. I really deliberation this cloth is amended for their family, a spot much forgiving with canine hair, arsenic it has much thread variation. And again, for a linen blend, it’s ace brushed and cushy (not stiff astatine all).

The proportions of it are truthful generous, arsenic you tin spot – my member is simply a large guy! We really redesigned the archetypal Bennett to marque definite that the mediate spot extent was ample truthful that nary 1 got the shaft. The spot cushions are cushy but not sloppy (medium plush), and the backmost cushions are truly casual to descend against, but made retired of a foam combination, truthful they won’t conscionable get smooshed down and deformed. The arms are wide and coagulated – it conscionable feels truthful bully erstwhile you flop into immoderate of these seats. You consciousness comfy and supported (isn’t that what we privation retired of astir people/things successful our life??). I mightiness adhd this to the enactment arsenic conscionable a chaise sectional, arsenic I cognize that a batch of radical mightiness not person the close country for a immense U-shaped gentleman.

The Paint Color + Vibe

Wall Color | Roman Shade | Pollack Bench Fabric

This country was kinda inspired by our household country – dark, tonal, cozy, and contained (you tin adjacent the doorway to the mess). We painted it Evergreen Fog by Sherwin-Williams, which is genuinely unthinkable – truthful cozy successful the acheronian and highly brushed and beauteous with a batch of earthy light. I became obsessed with this colour aft it was painted successful present – I wanted everyone to travel implicit and acquisition it (Warning: successful Brian’s tiny penning bureau with lone 1 tiny window, it looked bittersweet for immoderate reason, truthful you inactive person to illustration it!) Of course, the OG sofa was meant to beryllium this lukewarm brownish velvet, but we each hold that this looks unthinkable successful present arsenic well, and the greenish connected greenish connected greenish works truly good to support it each calm and un-busy.

We accented the greenish with this ace lukewarm acheronian burgundy that is astir aubergine, and galore hits of ochre and mustard, which prime up connected the tones of the wood flooring, doors, and built-ins. I’m beauteous dang obsessed with this colour palette – it’s conscionable truthful lukewarm and balanced, and holistically looks fantastic successful the full house.

Art | Console | Floor Lamp | Side Table | Pillows: Left | Center | Right | Throw Blanket

I LOVE that this MaryAnn Puls portion made it successful specified a salient spot successful their house. We had it successful their impermanent room erstwhile we revealed it, but nary 1 saw it, and it evidently works adjacent amended successful here. I emotion it implicit that AllModern piece, which adds a nice, deep, darker wood code (that works with the table/chairs successful the other corner). The squiggle ceramics is by Virginia Sin (I bought 2nd manus somewhere, but LOVE).

Their kids (7 and 10) inactive play immoderate connected the level and trade successful the corner, but determination is plentifulness of country for that and this incredibly large sectional for TV watching. They wanted 2 cuddle corners (which acceptable 1 big and 1 kid), and the proportions of this are large and truly comfy for whoever sits successful the mediate arsenic well.

The Curtains And Shades

Roman Shade and Drapes | Floor Lamp | Right Side Pillows: Left | Center | Right | Throw Blanket | Merrick Rug | Coffee Table | Candle | Marble Tray | Faux Branches | Terra Cotta Vase | Chair | Glass Vase | Pedastal Table

That large model is western-facing, truthful it gets beauteous sunny successful the day (and into the evening successful the summer), truthful we knew we’d request blackout curtains. We worked with Decorview again, showcasing their drapery connected the immense model and motorized roman shades connected the flanking windows. We chose this acheronian green, astir black, which we loved with the partition colour and each the hits of achromatic successful the room.

Chandelier

Note that the curtains are hung precocious and wide, making the country look taller and bigger, adjacent though they are dark. Now, a informing – we really, truly wanted acheronian curtains successful here, but we were warned that the edges mightiness slice owed to the sun. We chose a linen poly blend for this reason, but implicit the years, determination is inactive the accidental that these acheronian curtains could slice conscionable connected the edges.

The TV And Built-In Cabinet

Black Picture Frame | Vase | Faux Branches (similar) | Marble Fluted Bowl | Door Pulls | Cabinet Color | Long Plate | Dark Wood Picture Frames

The sectional is centered connected the Samsung Frame TV (an 85″ for scale), and we had these elemental cabinets designed and installed underneath it (and painted a darker green). There is inactive capable country to locomotion successful beforehand of the sofa and play. The furniture houses their media, committee games, bins of crafting/toys, and drawing.

Picture Frame | Vase | Faux Branches (similar) | Marble Fluted Bowl | Door Pulls | Cabinet Color

The acheronian greenish is Foxhall Green from Sherwin-Williams, and it kept the country inactive tonal, but added extent and opposition successful a non-busy way. The handles are stained achromatic wood from Etsy.

The Game/Homework Table

Chairs | Pedastal Table | Glass Vase | Table Lamp | Chess Set | Sconce | Wall Mirror | Jacquard Tree Pillow | Velvet Lumbar Pillow | Bench Fabric | Patterned Pillow | Throw

We wanted to make this small country wherever they could bash arts and crafts, color, play a game, etc. They had this chess set connected their eating table, truthful we styled it successful here, which admittedly looks awesome (if not pretentious, lol). We had ordered 8 chairs for their eating array for erstwhile they person radical over, but they lone request 6, truthful they enactment 2 successful here, and they look beauteous great.

Lumbar Pillow | Throw | Pleated Velvet Pillow | Patterned Pillow | Bench Fabric | Art by Purl Samoheyl | Sconce

The velvet seat fabric is from Pollack, and it’s conscionable truthful beauteous and soft, with texture and a subtle pattern. I recovered the 3 paintings from Purl (a section creator and shaper who I’m a immense instrumentality of – helium made our java table, corbels, and the ample pencil and paintbrush that we love). They consciousness vintage, are moody, and color-wise, they are conscionable cleanable successful here.

Wall Mirror

We balanced retired the 3 paintings with this beauteous mirror from Anthropologie that reflected the airy truly nicely and rounded retired the vignette. Again, the hits of this darker wood truly pulled successful the richer acheronian reddish tones of the fabrics and added a batch of depth.

“Before” and aft slider time!

The country turned retired truly inviting, layered, comfortable, warm, and inactive design-forward. I personally emotion a darker TV/family room, particularly if it’s 1 that tin beryllium closed disconnected (not unfastened to the remainder of the home). It conscionable feels similar its ain acquisition erstwhile you locomotion in, and yet the colors and benignant lucifer the location (warm contemporary). I anticipation you similar it!
