Catch up with my Living Room Salon Makeover

If you’re new to the blog, welcome! I’m Deborah Main, The Pillow Goddess, and I’m a Guest Participant in my fourth One Room Challenge (ORC) re-decorating our Living Room Salon.  The fall ORC is sponsored by High Point Market, with color impact partner Sherwin Williams and media partner is Better Homes & Gardens.

 

Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4

 

Follow other designer participants rooms

This fall’s ORC is a star-studded group of designers with twenty Featured Designers designing one room by having virtually, and in-person shopped the October High Point Market. Each designer is creating a virtual room (some even with fictitious clients and personalities!) with beautiful products they spotted at High Point.  Below, see products found at High Point by one Featured Designer, my friend interior designer Jana Donohoe of Jana Donohoe Designs.  Follow @janadonohoedesigns.

 

In addition, there are over 200+ Guest Participants designing one room in real-time, as I write this. Please look through all of these designers on the One Room Challenge blog and get inspired to freshen up your own home. Check out below, powerhouse designer Christine Kohut Interiors, who moved cross country, and back again, with her trusty dog Ozzy, only to jump into the ORC. Read about how “Flocking Flocked” she’s getting…what a hoot! Follow @christinekohutinteriors.

 

Fed Ex truck daily appearance

Week 4 was a wild one!  But so was Week 3 as you can see HERE. 

Remember how I was consumed, and moderately stressed out, having to make a fabric decision in 24 hours? (okay, I admit, I was majorly stressed out!)

The deadline was so our partners Mitchell Fabrics and Vitalia, Inc. could get started immediately, with only two weeks left, making the custom window treatments for our Living Room Salon.

Well, those rapid decisions did not stop! This week they happened on Monday and Tuesday. Let’s just say I’m glad the fabric decision is behind me and I can’t wait to see the custom drapery!

And thank God for my friend and neighbor, Sandy Alvarez, on standby. The minute the Fed Ex truck arrived, with my third round of wallpaper samples, I called her and she was here in a nanosecond.

 

 

Then even more decision-making began!

I’m truly sorry that this week there was literally not a minute to spare to get your input.  I had to make a decision on both the wallpaper and rug the exact same day and get my selection to the brand partners immediately. But you’re in luck, cause not only do I have photo documentation of the process, but you also get a peek. A tad blurry, but that’s because I don’t want you to see it all until the Big Reveal Nov 11 – 15th. So mark your calendars!

Meet two of our incredible brand partners!

 

 

I can’t tell you how incredibly excited I am to work with these two amazing brands!  Both of them are highly regarded in the interior design community and create a top-quality product.  York Wallcoverings is sponsoring the wallpaper for our entryway (which is one small wall in our living room, as our front door opens right into the living room) and Nourison is sponsoring the rug.  Thank you so much!  I am very grateful for your generosity and enthusiasm in supporting my Living Room Salon Makeover for the fall One Room Challenge.

Now let’s see where we left off in Week 3 and I’ll share what I’ve accomplished in Week 4.  Then, on to the exciting world of these incredible brands.

When the schedule goes out the window

First off, I am not at all on schedule with my plan from Week 1.  Week 3 was spent deciding the fabric for the window treatments and I thought THAT was hard! Wooeee, try then making a final decision on wallpaper AND a rug at the same time in 24 hours.

Oh, I had plenty of time to look.  But once you go down that rabbit hole of seeing beautiful design after beautiful design, well then, I personally had a very hard time selecting just one.  Remember, I’m a luxury pillow designer, and the reason I make one-of-a-kind pillows is because I get to select a new textile and trim every single time.  And, having lived in our home for 36 years now, we are not going to remodel again.  No pressure, right?!?  I kept telling myself, they’re all beautiful, you can’t go wrong with any of them, just pick.  That was much easier said than done.

 

Pillow Goddess Tip #1 – Hire an Interior Designer

I want to stress a very important point here. THIS is is why you hire an interior designer, so they can either do it all for you or help you make a selection. My in-house interior designer and dearest friend, Patrick Landrum of P&L/Patrick Landrum Design, who has been a great help as a consultant, was sick (thankfully not with the virus) and literally has been out of commission the entire time I’ve had to make decisions.  (I’m so relieved he’s all better now; great timing P! Wink.)  He and my friends and family can tell you, I am NOT a very decisive person.  I can usually decide between A and B.  But give me umpteen choices of gorgeous wallpaper and rugs and it boggles my mind!!

So much that I must have looked at their websites a zillion times over the past couple of weeks and made collages on PicLab (thank God for PicLab) so I could try to imagine the wallpaper and rug in my living room. But often that can confuse things because the colors on your computer screen are not necessarily the colors in real life.

Pillow Goddess Tip #2 – Be sure to order wallpaper samples

The wallpaper selection process

Here’s where I started with the entryway wall below. This is one accent wall in our living room for which I’m selecting wallpaper. (I know, some designers deplore accent walls, but I like them.)

Should be easy, right?  Yes, be assured, that with all the gorgeous patterns and tools York Wallcoverings offer, you “can” make your wallpaper selection very easy. But that’s for a normal person.  I am not normal. My design process takes a lot of time to think about it, think through how it will look with all the other colors and texture and furnishings in our living room. Not to mention the breakfast nook and kitchen.

Let’s go modern

So my initial thinking was that I would add modern wallpaper to our entryway. For two reasons – first, it would help our living room filled with family antiques feel a bit more transitional,  and second, work best with the newly remodeled kitchen, modern bar, and breakfast nook.

Below is one of my all-time favorite modern York Wallcoverings by designer Candice Olson, Velocity.  I LOVE this wallpaper in the black/gold and spent the first couple of weeks mulling over the modern designs on my wall in many different geometric patterns.

This was even before the Nathan Anthony Chablis chair was delivered. So I had lots of time to think and I needed to consider the entryway wallpaper as a backdrop for the gorgeous Nathan Anthony chair – See Week 2. 

Below are the modern ones on the left side of the vintage gold mirror and one of my all-time favorite pattern, a bit more traditional, Canopy. on the right side. (Note: the modern patterns, particularly the metallics I was not able to see on my wall, but wait for it….The Visualizer is coming!)

Canopy, like many of York Wallcoverings’ gorgeous wallpaper designs, comes in six different colorways, and I ordered three samples. I immediately loved this beautiful aqua blue color with its metallic leaves. I always love a little shimmer and there’s some metallic in most of the modern ones too.  YAY, I thought!   I was on the right path. It will be a piece of cake selecting wallpaper – easy peasy!

But here’s the deal with our Living Room Salon.  Yes, it is filled with family heirloom antiques, but the kitchen has been updated and the bar is a modern design with a porcelain countertop. Also, we have modern pendants over the bar.  One of the whole points in re-decorating the living room is to make it more contemporary so modern wallpaper would help do that, right? Not necessarily. Sometimes thinking outside the box helps.

Pillow Goddess Tip #3 – When in doubt, order more wallpaper samples

Here’s the entryway in a more classic pattern like the Canopy pattern above.

A you see, the color was beautiful and the leaves shimmered, but the sample was much darker than the picture of this wallpaper you see above my photo.

Let’s stick with traditional classics

The part I struggled with the most is that at heart, my design aesthetic is traditional. I was born and raised on the east coast and grew up with wallpaper and antiques in every room.  I am very lucky to have the majority of our home filled with beautiful antique furniture that dates back to my Great Aunt Adelaide Main, whom I’m named after and my grandparents. Check out my first ORC, the Bold Blue & White Bedroom that I designed around three pieces of my mother’s bedroom set.

As much as I wanted to go modern, the entryway wall has a very classical feel to it with an antique drop-leaf Shaker table given to my parents on their wedding day, then to us on ours, and a vintage gold mirror and prints from my grandmother. And I love the look!

How about modern and classic at the same time with an oversized trellis pattern?

Pillow Goddess Tip #4 – York Wallcoverings offers it all!

From modern to floral, blue to mustard, and the birds and the bees, York Wallcoverings has a huge variety of wallcoverings to choose from and designer series as well. And every color and pattern imaginable.

Below is an array of York wallpaper samples I ordered.

 

 

 

 

I know what you’re thinking – I drove York Wallcoverings crazy by ordering over 40 wallpaper samples! Okay, by the third round I was feeling guilty, so I offered to pay for the Fed Ex. I knew I had to have this last round of wallpaper samples to rule out certain patterns  and come down to a few from which to make my final decision.

How to shop by category for wallpaper

Did I tell you yet that when you shop for wallpaper on York Wallcoverings website you have five ways to shop? You can even look through all of these and still find designs you missed, as there are so many stunning wallpapers, in every pattern and color you can think of.

1. Shop by collection
2. Shop by product type
3. Shop by theme
4. Shop by color
5. Shop by brand

 

Should I go light or dark?

Another major struggle I had internally was whether to have a white background to keep the Living Room Salon lighter, or go dark, which would add more drama.  Or, do neither and go for BOLD color!

Let me tell you, if you’re mind is not a jumbled mess by now, that’s fine, cause mine has been for weeks.  And the main reason is that York Wallcoverings has such gorgeous wallpaper in every category that I loved them all and could not decide.

Your stretch break is over – I warned you I had a lot to share!

 

Pillow Goddess Tip #5 – The Visualizer

Now, let’s continue, shall we? I’m super excited to tell you about one handy tool that I absolutely love on York Wallcoverings website  – The Visualizer!  Oh boy, did I have fun with that! You’re only going to see a few samples in this post, but I can tell you in all honesty, there are hundreds on my phone. I am not kidding!

With York’s handy visualizer, here are a few of my favorites as I struggled with whether or not to go light, dark, or a color for the background of the wallpaper.

This one, the Peacock Unpasted, was one of my faves from the get-go.  It comes in 7 different colors.  I dreamed of this midnight blue, but then thought, well, won’t that make the living room too dark?  Okay, I’ll try it in a white background too.

As you can see, the lighter background presents an entirely different mood and feel for the entryway. The wallpaper pattern is beautiful and, evidently, really popular in the dark colors because it is currently out of stock.  So I tried a lot of different wallpapers in many different patterns and colors.

Yes, it began to get a tad overwhelming and far more complicated than when I started.  (Note: remember, I did not have my interior designer to bounce these off of, but I did have my best friend Andrea in Vermont. I swear I wore her out!  She said, “Aren’t you being a little OCD about this?” HA!  That was an understatement.) But with every wallpaper I was inspired, so I persevered.

Casual or elegant?

Here’s another example of a dark, light, and color pattern, Garden Plume. I loved it for its bold brashness, large-scale peacocks, and the rich black background. You see how different it is from the swatch of the pattern to putting it on your wall with the visualizer?

Then I tried the light blue which I thought was so pretty.  But soon, any pattern with color made it feel like a bedroom and I definitely didn’t want that look for the entryway to our Living Room Salon.

Selecting wallpaper is as challenging as selecting a paint color

I tried, what seemed like, hundreds of designs using the helpful visualizer tool on the York Wallcoverings website. Many of the modern patterns, and a few classic ones, did not have the visualizer. Soon it became clear that too many flowers and pink colors were not going to give me the look I was striving for in our entryway of the Living Room Salon – a moody, cozy but light and elegant feel.

Pillow Goddess Tip #6 – View your wallpaper along with your other nearby rooms

I thought, okay, I’ll just stick with something safe and easy, a classic pattern, like this lovely off-white Plume pattern in blue and white. But then I recalled my designer Patrick telling me:

Remember, you will see your bold blue and white geometric wallpaper from the living room, so they have to work together.

I’m glad I remembered that advice because it helped me realize that this pattern, while I really liked it, was going to be blue and white and not offer any other dimension or color to the entryway. Plus I didn’t want to merely duplicate the bedroom blue and white in the Living Room. I wanted green and teal in there too, to coordinate with the kitchen and breakfast nook colors.

It was hard to let this one go because the branches created a diamond pattern like the Kravet fabric on the chair and ottoman. It’s always nice to repeat various patterns and colors in your designs.

 

It’s time to fish or cut bait

Thank God, Nourison contacted me offering to sponsor a rug exactly at the point in time that I had to make the wallpaper decision. I had all the wallpaper samples I could possibly want and it was time to decide.

Below is my dear friend Sandy with many of the wallpaper samples up on the wall, while I was at my computer bringing up the names of the wallpapers and rug designs so we could analyze each for its appropriateness for the Living Room Salon. It was a great system that helped us a lot.

To my surprise, we only spent one hour coming up with the final decision! Can you believe that? What are friends for, right? Thank you Sandy!

You decide! Did I go bold or classic or both?

Wallpaper can completely transform a room and to me is a very important decision, even for a small accent wall.  It has power. Either through its color, pattern, intensity, or all three.

Now that you’ve seen my agonizing process in deciding wallpaper, you will have to wait until the Big Reveal to see what I chose.  In all honesty, even though I visualize a lot of my design in my head, and I made collages to help me even further, I truly don’t know how my design decisions are going to come together for the Big Reveal. I’m as eager as you to find out!

Pillow Goddess Tip #7 – go with what you love; trust your gut

My point in sharing my painstaking process is that you sometimes have to go with your gut.  Some people know what they like the minute they see it. I thought I was that kind of person.

However, with so many gorgeous choices it became more challenging than I thought.  I love many different patterns, colors, and textures. When it comes to textiles I love it all.  During this process, I learned that that is true for me with wallpaper as well and it’s best for me as a designer to have a limited amount of choices.

I hope this helps you take the plunge into selecting colorful wallpaper for your home. Trust me, you will decide much quicker than I did!

Nourison to the Rescue – traditional or contemporary rug?

 

Rugs can add drama to a room like in the above photo of the Mediterranean Sand rug designed for Nourison by design icon Christopher Guy.  What a stunning, elegant, and dreamy living room! Christopher Guy’s design work is legendary and has always captivated me.  I feel so blessed I was able to meet him in person at Las Vegas Market in 2014, as sadly he recently passed away from cancer this year.  He is such a great loss, but his kindness, humanity, and brilliant designs will live on and continue to inspire us.

I feel like having to decide the rug at the exact time I had to decide the wallpaper really helped me focus. Actually, I know there are design rules to follow and I’ve heard that in the design world you decide the rug first.  Well, since when did I ever follow design rules!

Plus, when you’re working with sponsors for your One Room Challenge, you never know the timing during the six weeks for when you’ll need to make a decision. I was lucky with York Wallcoverings because they partnered with me early on so I had a lot of time (probably too much!) to think through the wallpaper. I also had already decided on the fabric for the drapery in Week 3.

Pillow Goddess Tip #8 – Be creative with an artistic rug

 

Window treatments, wallpaper, and a rug are three interior design choices that really anchor a room. They also are the decisions that can set the mood for your space.  In addition, they give you plenty of opportunities to take design risks. It’s easy for me to take a design risk on a pillow; much more challenging with an entire room. Our Living Room Salon is the final space for the trio of rooms – kitchen, breakfast nook, living room – in the front of our vintage home. In many ways it’s been the most challenging.

Pillow Goddess Tip #7 – Set the mood for your space with a Nourison rug

I knew the mood I wanted for our Living Room Salon was elegant yet cozy and comfortable, as it’s where we relax after our own family dinner and when we entertain with guests. I also work in the breakfast nook looking out into the living room.

The big decision with rugs today is whether or not to go traditional or contemporary.  Often there are transitional styles as well.

Nourison had no shortage of rugs from which to choose.  From modern to traditional, and transitional, I tried several options with a few different wallpapers and also fabrics when I was deciding on the drapery fabric in Week 3. Of course, all with kittie approval!

Below is a Nourison modern and traditional rug with wallpaper. I even wanted to see it with our Crossville Studios’ kitchen tile and some gorgeous Valentino fabric I’d like to make pillows with. I love the brilliant, dynamic blue in both of these Nourison rugs!

Below, along with a fabric sample from partner Mitchell Fabrics, is one of my top picks from the vast array of gorgeous rugs by partner Nourison.  It’s a classic traditional blue medallion rug but updated with contemporary colors and a lovely distressed look, the Nourison Grafix Blue and White Medallion rug.

I’ll be perfectly upfront with you. I am not daring enough to go with a modern rug in a traditional living room. But I will say that I have been daring with the color of the rug I chose.  I had to factor in four pieces of furniture and the living room and breakfast nook. And you will too, depending on which room your shopping for a rug:

• the vintage dark blue velvet sofa
• the new Chablis chair by partner Nathan Anthony
• the corner chair and ottoman re-upholstered in the blue geometric fabric by sponsor Kravet, and
• the new green velvet set of chairs we finally bought for our breakfast nook table

 

We finally bought a pair of lush green velvet chairs for our faux marble pedestal table in the breakfast nook and they go beautifully with the living room, so I had to take them into consideration too.

 

 

Pillow Goddess Tip #9 – Liven up your space with a bold colorful rug

These two Nourison rugs below are bold and full of color.  I absolutely love the rich color and patterns!

 

The above gorgeously bold blue and green rug, designed by interior designer Shay Geyer for Nourison, was part of a huge launch a few years ago of the Portfolio Collection. That collection featured high-end area rugs created by five design talents and crafted by Nourison.

The five interior designers include:

1. Kim Scodro,
2. Scot Meacham Wood,
3. Woodson and Rummerfield,
4. Catherine and Justine Macfee and
5. Shay Geyer

 

This last rug is in one of my favorite ORC rooms designed by interior designer Beth Diana Smith. I love everything about her living room!

 

Nourison at 40 – See what’s next!

Nourison, a leading floor covering and home accents manufacturer, kicked off 2020 with new abstract designs, texture, and indoor/outdoor area rugs. They also celebrated new introductions with their CALVIN KLEIN Balian collection and best-selling Twilight and Passion collections.

I considered the stunning Twilight blue/grey rug and the Passion Navy/ivory rugs below for our Living Room Salon Makeover.

In addition, Nourison released at the October  High Point Market two new designs (below) in their new Prismatic Collection. 

The Prismatic rug collection is unique featuring captivating vivid colors splashed across the surface like a painter does on a canvas. How inspiring and invigorating!

Nourison is highly regarded in the design industry for their area rugs, broadloom carpets, and home accessories at multiple price points from low all the way to luxury designer rugs. Nourison is one of the few “fully vertically integrated companies in its segment” where they oversee almost every aspect of the manufacturing process of their beautiful rugs.

As a result, Nourison has fast delivery to market and ships more than 95 percent of its product orders within 48 hours. Now that is fast!

Pillow Goddess Tip #10 – Have fun and take risks when selecting wallpaper and rugs for your spaces!

Plus their focus on customer service (which I must say is incredible!) has helped Nourison become a valued partner within the home furnishings and hospitality industries to both retailers and interior designers.

Founded in New York by brothers Alex, Stephen, and Paul Peykar in 1980, Nourison is still a family-owned company. Its product assortment includes licensed collections from well-known brands such as CALVIN KLEIN, Kathy Ireland, Waverly, Christopher Guy, and more.

Take a look and see if you can select just ONE rug!  Shop Nourison’s website and follow them on  Instagram.  It’s not so easy when you’re faced with such a wide variety of beauty – stunning, colorful rugs in exquisite, unique patterns by Nourison.  I’m honored to partner with them and grateful they are sponsoring a rug for our Living Room Salon.

I love it when brands see such an opportunity in collaborating with design influencers. In fact, just two days ago I heard that one of our brand partners had a new client register with them after reading about their beautiful fabrics on The Pillow Goddess blog – that was exciting news!
