A stylish living room upgrade with a ‘WOW’ factor!

The living room needs to have a relaxed vibe because it's where I go to relax and literally put my feet up. I have my little doggo with me, so the design has to be 'pet-friendly' with enough space for my little guy. As per my design idea, I thought a sectional with deep seating would work best for the area, and while I didn't have any particular color in mind, I was leaning towards neutral shades and Earth tones from the very beginning. While leather would be an ideal choice for furniture as it is best for cleaning, I'm vegan, so we have to explore other options. This room is connected to the kitchen - It's great for having guests and family over. It also means that the overall look and feel has to have that 'WOW' factor. My kitchen is gray, so pops of bright color will work best for the living room. When it comes to picking a design style, Art Deco / Hollywood, along with Modern Minimalist, were my 'go-to'. I am looking forward to seeing how the two could be combined to make one cohesive design concept.

Ellysia blew my mind, right from the get-go! She considered all my inputs and came up with designs that were perfect for me. The most important thing was she understood my needs. Especially with the furniture selection, she came up with great alternatives to leather that would work just as well for the room without compromising on the fashion and style aspect. The modernist wood and lacquer media console from West Elm, the White Marble Milan Accent table from World Market, and the chair from Article were great additions. They blend beautifully with the decor themes that I had proposed - the right amount of Hollywood glam with a modern-minimalist twist! The other decor items like Orange blush area rug from Wayfair and the decorative wall mirror from Overstock did their bit to bring in the pops of color that I so wanted. The brass floor lamp from West Elm and the Velvet Ottoman from All Modern were kitsch and whimsically beautiful.

I’ve decorated my home in the past, taking inspiration from Pinterest, Instagram, and other online sources - but this was awesome on another level. The process was so easy and so smooth. After I shared my design thoughts, Ellysia shared two renditions of it on the 3D App. Each version had unique features of its own. The fact that I can literally experience my living room before shopping for products is pretty amazing. I also loved the interactive nature of the App - it was like I was involved in the design process, and it made me feel invested in the project from the start.

I couldn’t have asked for a smoother process. The entire thing was so seamless that it made designing the room fun rather than looking at it as a tedious chore. Ellysia did a stunning job in upgrading my living room design, just as I wanted it to be.
