Whether you’re looking to refresh your existing setup or start from scratch, these ideas are sure to spark some inspiration!
1. Layer Textures for Depth and ComfortA well-designed living room isn’t just about colors and patterns; it’s also about how it feels. Incorporating different textures adds richness and makes your space feel cozy and inviting. Layer a plush throw over a linen sofa, combine a curved chair with a natural fiber rug, or add a woven side table to hold your favorite books. The key is to mix smooth, soft, and tactile elements to create a dynamic and luxurious environment.

2. Let There Be LightLighting is the unsung hero of any beautiful room. It can transform the mood and highlight the best features of your living room. Consider a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting. A beautiful chandelier or can make a room feel elegant, while table lamps provide softer, more intimate lighting for those cozy nights in.

3. Embrace a Neutral Palette with Pops of ColorThere’s something so timeless and sophisticated about a neutral base. Soft whites, creamy beiges, and warm greys create the perfect backdrop for any room. But don’t be afraid to add little pops of color — a vibrant throw pillow, a bold artwork, or a statement rug can really bring the room to life without overwhelming the space. Think soft blushes, rich blues, or even a dash of gold for a touch of glamour.

4. Curate Your Coffee Table with PurposeThe coffee table is often the focal point of a living room, and it’s the perfect place to get creative. Instead of cluttering it with miscellaneous items, curate a few elegant pieces that reflect your style. Think chic coffee table books, a beautiful vase with fresh flowers, a decorative bowl, and perhaps a set of candles. A well-arranged coffee table can act as both art and function.

5. Play with Scale and ProportionWhen choosing furniture, don’t be afraid to mix things up in terms of size. While a large, comfy sectional may anchor the space a delicate side table can add balance and interest. The interplay of large and small pieces creates a visual rhythm that keeps the room feeling balanced yet dynamic.

6. Make a Statement with WallpaperWallpaper is the perfect way to make a bold statement with minimal effort. Whether you choose a soft botanical print, a sophisticated geometric pattern, or a striking floral design, wallpaper can completely transform a room. Not only does wallpaper add instant style, but it’s a great way to add texture and depth to the room without overcrowding the space.
Creating a chic living room isn’t just about choosing beautiful furniture or the latest trends—it’s about curating a space that feels like you. A room that welcomes you and your loved ones, one that blends comfort with style. Whether you’re incorporating wallpaper to make a bold statement, adding layers of texture for warmth, or simply updating your lighting, every detail plays a role in bringing your vision to life.

More About A HAPPIER LIFE
With “her signature warmth and Southern charm” (E! Online), the New York Times bestselling author of The Summer of Songbirds and the Peachtree Bluff series presents a tender and touching novel about a young woman who discovers the family she has always longed for when she spends a life-changing summer in North Carolina.
Present Day: Keaton Smith is desperate for a fresh start. So when her mother needs someone to put her childhood home in Beaufort, North Carolina, on the market—the home that Keaton didn’t know existed until now—she jumps at the chance to head south. But the moment she steps foot inside the abandoned house, she’s confronted with secrets about grandparents who died in a car accident before she was born. And as she gets to know her charming next-door neighbor, his precocious ten-year-old son, and a flock of endearingly feisty town busybodies, she soon finds she has more questions than answers.
1976: After meeting her adoring husband Townsend, Rebecca “Becks” Saint James abandoned the life she knew and never looked back. Forty years later, she’s made a name for herself as the best hostess North Carolina has ever seen. Her annual summer suppers have become the stuff of legend, and locals and out-of-towners alike clamor for an invitation to her stunning historic home. But she’s struggling behind the façade. Becks strives to make the lives of those around her as easy as possible, but this summer she is facing a dilemma that even she can’t solve. And as the end of the season looms, she is brought to a decision she never wanted to make.
As both Keaton and Becks face new challenges and chapters, they are connected through time by the house on Sunset Lane, which has protected the secrets, hopes, and dreams of the women in their family for generations. For fans of Summer of ‘69 and The Notebook, A Happier Life explores the power of family, the bonds of friendship, and the boundless nature of love.
