Ok, I swear I like warm colors! You have probably seen a lot of blue and green from me which I gravitate towards but that doesn’t mean pink, red, orange, and yellow don’t have a place in my heart.

Inspiration
Deep reds and high-gloss paint with a mirrored finish have been on my mind as of late. These two combined formed the inspiration for this week’s concept board.
Color & Scale
To balance out the black desk, I brought in an Embarking On Design print with colorful flowers and a black background to hang over the sofa.
I was between a more monochromatic look with a burgundy sofa or a lighter neutral piece like this sofa. The majority of the poll picked tan velvet!
I brought in some dark yellow accents to brighten up the burgundy a bit too. Brass also counts as a warm tone!
I went burgundy with the rug to balance out the strong color on the walls.
Styling
With pack bookshelves, I kept the desk top clean for an easy workspace and the coffee table styling simple with some books, a bowl, and taper candles.
A light linen floor lamp in the corner lightens up this darker corner day and night.
A round velvet side table, yellow glass coffee table, and a tiger patterned pillow added quirky elements so this space doesn’t feel so serious.
Now Step Back
Rich textures and colors really make this space feel like a cozy place to settle in for a game night or a good book.
The leather chair and colors make this space appear masculine but, luxe materials, like velvet and gold, as well as some florals, bring balance.
