How would you like to play "Get the Look"? Lake Bell’s living room is the perfect place to start. Eclectic wonderment abounds, yet it has elements and items that many of us already have which could make your personal transformation much cheaper and easier to achieve.
Vogue.com featured Bell’s home and I instantly felt it was a great home to emulate as it has style but is not precious nor appear too fancy. Needless to say, Lake Bell’s beauty mirrors the beauty in which she lives.
Shopping Lamps Plus' Shop by Room may also spark the design bug and get your creative juices flowing.
To begin with, there are interesting architectural elements that make the space unique. However, strip away the moldings and beams and you basically have a warm, white box. Visual interest comes in the form of interesting pattern, a wide selection of furniture and mismatched lighting styles.
Classic table lamps share the room with a 1970s inspired arc floor lamp and outdoor wall lights in a classic Nantucket design.
Pops of color keeps the room playful. I especially like the tufted blue chair and bold green pillows that enliven the overall space as well as the neutral sofa-a sofa type that most of us already have!
Jacobean style table legs live harmoniously with a Moroccan style side table all the while being enveloped by mod-patterned curtains.
If somebody tried to describe what they were planning to do I would have thought the plan outrageous. As I see it here today, I am awed.
Here are some items to help you get the look above.
1. Like Lake Bell’s fireplace sconces, choosing an outdoor wall light , like this outdoor wall light from the Nantucket collection, indoors is a daring design choice, and one that works.
2. I love the pop of color that you can create with this moss velvet throw pillow by Howard Elliott.
3. A dark mahogany wall mirror will stand out and reflect light around the room regardless of whatever style room you prefer.
4. I like using an arc floor lamp when there is no ability to install a ceiling light. The Murrillo matte white adjustable version is a great option.
5. A blue tufted chair, like the Maxwell Lillian tufted armchair has visual energy and spices up a monochromatic room.
6. An ivory ceramic table lamp is timeless and adds texture especially if the surface is rough hewn, like the Isabella lamp.
