Top Tips - #2

In keeping with our "Top Tips" let's look at another way to make some easy changes to your rooms.  Today, we will be looking at ways to add extra seating.  Instead of having to borrow chairs from other rooms when you have extra company...why not just go ahead and incorporated a few extra "comfy" spots around your room.  How?...you may ask...


Trick of the Trade

In this lovely design you will see the two small ottoman seats placed near the cocktail table.  This is a great way to add additional seating AND change the way your room looks.  It's much more affordable than adding a bench or side chairs....and best thing...they can be moved around to a 'spot of conversation' any place in the room! 

I bet you thought that was the only tip in this photo....no, it isn't.  Take a look again as there is more seating that can be added.  Do you see it?  Look at the fireplace hearth.  This hearth was wide enough to even add custom cushions in the room...which is great when you need to accommodate even more guests! (oh, and isn't that "pop" of white cording on them just lovely...it pulls in the white from the hearth and makes them seem just perfect for this spot!).

Do you have extra seating in your living room?  If not, now you know what you can do to allow for more guests...or just simply to make an easy change to update the "look".

As always, thank you for stopping by our blog.  I always appreciate your comments.  I hope some of these "Top Tips" that we are sharing with you will inspire you to make some simple changes to your surroundings!  If so, please share them...we'd love to know what changes YOU made!

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!
