my interior design guide, part 1: living rooms!

i thought the best way to do this is to show by example, so i've rearranged my living room into four different layouts. let me know which one you like best! thanks for reading!

LAYOUT ONE
* this layout uses a split level QR code design from @yamaji_maya. please look at their twitter - the stairs come in white, black, brown, and pink!
* this is and EXCELLENT tool for beginners - it splits the room into manageable sections
LAYOUT TWO
* this layout highlights my favorite space taker... the tea table!!! throw it in any blank space you have in your room with some cushions and tadaaa!
* customize your cushions or place a misc. item that fits your scheme to bring it into the rest of the room
LAYOUT THREE
* this is sort of a faux split level layout
* do not be afraid to put things up against each other that you might normally not!
* the low table with the tv can be replaced with a console table or fireplace :)
LAYOUT FOUR
* for those that prefer a cleaner, less cluttered look
* a rug in the middle is like makeup for a living room
* here, i love using the lacy rug, the shell rug, or the medium round mats! pick one that fits your color scheme.
GENERAL TIPS - do's and don'ts!
* DON'T be afraid to mix and match different shades of furniture that are in the same family! not a living room, but as you can see here, i used three different shades of white/cream. the goal is to make it look like it's on purpose!
* DON'T stick all of your furniture against the walls! don't be afraid to put a couch or table in the center - try using my layouts as a guideline and then move things around to your liking.
* DO pick one or two pieces that you really like and build the room around it. you can start with any piece! for example, here i chose the butterfly wall to highlight.. since it has white trees, i chose the white birch log series to complement it!
* DO use the item spreadsheet to find furniture that could possibly look good in your room. there might be a perfect piece you didn't even know existed! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lLUmM5lEyq6Qu3cuKDJZLBcB_bhEcvSXKMdtC6bY3HQ/edit#gid=2031086626
that's it for part one! TL;DR get a tea table!!! please keep an eye out for my kitchen and bedroom guides and let me know if you have any questions!
