Designer Amanda Nisbet’s Perfect Living Room

Ever since I started blogging I’ve kept images of Amanda Nisbet‘s dreamy living room, in my inspiration folder. What a delight it was to find new and updated pictures of Amanda’s home in this weeks New York Social Diary. In addition to lots of gorgeous images, the accompanying interview is a great read, as Amanda proves to have a personality equal to her natural sense of style.

I absolutely adore the color palette of Amanda’s living room; yellow beige accented with coral red and raspberry pink, perfectly framed with dark brown.
*
Aren’t those brass palm trees awesome? Every little detail is just perfection (in my opinion).
*
Amanda created two distinct seating areas in her living room by placing two sofas back-to-back, with an acrylic console table in between. A perfect place for a pair of lamps..
*
..and beautiful flowers! Ranunculus are my favorite flowers, what’s yours?
*
The opposite seating area. Is that a TV in the china cabinet? Best TV camouflage I’ve seen in a long time (although I really enjoyed Kelly Giesen’s fireplace TV too).
*
I just adore Amanda’s style, especially the way she mixes classic pieces with modern ones. Her color palettes are always cheerful and happy, probably derived from her personality ;)

Visit NYSD to the rest of Amanda’s home, you don’t want to miss this, trust me =)

I love this post! I know orange has been popular lately, but I’m too much of chicken to try it in my house. It looks so good with the yellow art and pillows.

What a cool, sophisticated but also homey space! I love the pops of orange and I really like the lucite table as the divider…very clever solution to break up the space with a very light piece…I love it and I can see why it’s been in your files – the room has a lot of good things going on!

My God this place is beautiful, it really has a bit of everything that I love.. the gold/brass accents (yes I LOVE the palm trees!), a bit of lucite, gorgeous art and tons of warm colors, just perfect.

I really like the mirror. It always surprises me when you mix contemporary with traditional and it somehow works ie., the acrylic ottomans and coffee table. Great mix with color. Oh and I’m a Tulip gal myself,but I love these Ranuculas too!
