Simple, chic Belgian style living room design.
When it comes to getting the look for less, Belgian Style is the one to copy. The simple color palette and earthy textures don’t cost very much to do right and always look chic.
Belgian Pearls is a great blog to find this look...
Linen furniture is a perfect texture for Belgian style homes.
There is something so perfect and elegant about Belgian style homes... It's the perfect balance of traditional style and modernity. The first thing to remember is to keep color to a minimum.
Monochromatic rooms are the foundation of this look. Keeping walls cream or white costs virtually nothing. Darker pops of color can come in black framed tables, bronze floor lamps or classic table lamps.
Belgian style interiors are simple and classic in nature.
When it comes to recreating this look in furniture, keep things simple. Plain linen chairs and sofas are cheaper than custom upholstered pieces and simple wood tables will also be less or could possibly be handmade.
Because the Belgian look is so serene, the only accessories you really need would be a few touches like candles and wicker baskets. Less is definitely more here, and the less you put into a room, the less you spend!
1. The Robert Abbey Short Foundry Table Lamp mimics the great earthen lamps in the pictures above.
2. Keep lights simple like the Sonneman Hanover Wall Sconce.
3. Most Belgian interiors have some form of linen like the Biltmore Lindy Linen Upholstered Wingback Armchair.
4. I love the simplicity of the Capper Oak Wood Metal Legs Coffee Table.
5. A touch of the modern is key to emulating the look, so consider the Robert Abbey Koleman Patina Bronze Floor Lamp.
