This is what it looked like when i am starting to build a nice dwelling. The walls are neutral with pops of green and orange color which was my personal choice. Since I'm addicted to a Japanese design, a simple Japanese sofa highlighted the space. I believe I'm a lover of Japanese things as they fascinate me always, so i opted to design the interior of the house and made it into an Asian theme. The floor lamps and the native bean bag accessorize the space. The curtains and the artworks serves as an accent, with matching pillows that ties the color combination.
After reading a lot of design magazines, i opted for a more bold color choice as i painted the room blue. I also get tired of the Japanese sofa and bought a more relaxed and comfty seat. The Japanese sofa was now placed outdoor for my garden. With the blue themed room, the living room was more contemporary and more homey but with a touch of Asian as well. Nice blue accents in different shades and tints were making the space cohesive and complete.
Experimental that i was, i am so passionate to use wooden furniture as i felt that i have to make it more Asian just like before. So i bought a not so big wooden daybed, as i call it and incorporate it on my living room. I also added two accent side tables to balanced the space. The daybed was furnished with cushions and pillows to soften the look and to make it more relaxing and inviting as well. The three seater leatherette sofa was matched and the space became an eclectic Asian living room.
As i aimed for a more spacious living room, i opted to replace the three seater sofa with two solihiya chairs for a more distinctive Filipino look. The two Buddhas on the side tables are a nice addition and the green and orange colors brought life and interest on the space. More is beautiful was evident on the space. I was loving the look because it became more Asian. The space is truly eclectic with lots of conversational pieces.
And again, i got tired of the look so i brought back the old Japanese sofa. The Buddhas remained and again, green and orange dominated the space for a splash of colors. It became more balanced, eclectic and Asian at the same time. I also changed the paint as i went back to neutral.
But eager to obtain a more polished and spacious look, i ended again buying a more comfortable L-shaped sofa for a contemporary look. I realized that having an Asian theme doesn't mean that you'll be having a Japanese sofa or a wooden daybed or solihiya furniture. A little Asian accents and some pops of color are a blast to achieve the design theme. Colorful artworks and a side table for the terracotta vase with leaves and twigs accessorized the space. I am loving this look now because its sophisticated and inviting as well.
My living room went through different look. Each look was adorned and loved. I find changing the look exciting, funny and enjoyable as well. It was also challenging as your mind keeps on thinking on how will the space be picture perfect and guest inviting also. Every transition has stories to tell.
I wont be surprise to finds a new look on the days to come. What really matters is that every look became an inspiration for me to do it better than the previous one. I may be missing some of the look from the past but I'm happy for what it is now. What is certain is, it keeps on changing...
