Wishful Wednesdays: Home Edition - Living Room

Bonjour and welcome to another Wishful Wednesdays post!

A little over 2 years ago i have been thinking about what it would feel like owning a place for yourself. Fast forward to now, and i am counting the few months to my 2-bedroom condominium's RFO. I think it's just proper dedicating a few of my Wishful Wednesdays to what i wish the unit would look like once it's done with my few adjustments. Enjoy!

1. Striped curtains. The colors of the fabric pop especially against white walls. Effortlessly chic.



2. White and wood will be the theme for the whole unit. It is advisable to steer clear of overpowering colors when the space is small because it will make the place look cramped. This sofa will go well with the white and wood theme, and the pillows are a beautiful touch to the furniture.


3. A built-in bookcase. A home for all the books i have been collecting over the years.


4. Any living room has a focal point, for me it's either the bookcase or a big painting much like the one below.


5. One important note to remember: lighting is everything in a room. Yellow or warm white lighting bathes the room in a soft glow while white lighting gives that office or corporate feeling. In short: do NOT use white lighting except for task lighting (ie workspace area, kitchen and so on).


6. What living room doesn't have a quaint coffee table? This one right here is simple but pretty enough! The candles add a romantic vibe to the table.


Seeing all these wonderful pictures on Pinterest is making me all giddy and excited! i can't wait for September! Happy Wednesday everyone!
