Transform your boring living room in 3 easy steps
![]() |
This living room packs a powerful visual punch, but really starts with a white or beige couch white walls and plain furnishings. You can get this look too just by adding peacock art, ikat pillows and a bright floor rug! |
I know what you are thinking. This living room isn't boring... but really strip away the pillows and art and you have a plain jane room with a white couch and plan furnishings. If you have a white or beige couch you can think of it as a blank canvas and instantly update your room with some bold moves.
Splurge Worthy Decorating

Radiant Peacock, orginal canvas art 3x3' |
Another great decorating idea is to put this huge painting in a dining room over the banquet or over a bed. Wherever you decide to display the peacock art the artwork will give you pleasure throughout the years.
2. Pillows: I am in love with all things Madeline Weinrib. She travels around the world to seek inspiration for her home designs. Each of these pillows is a piece of art onto themselves. You can collect her pillows without hiring an interior decorator right from her website.
3. Rug: A rug is like artwork for the floor. Rug above is from Missoni Home.

Get the look for less
Art: You can get a similar look by ordering a peacock canvas art print in the size that best suits your wall space and your budget. You can even get a peacock print on paper for additional savings.

Rug: Striped rugs are easier to find. Check out this hip rug from Ballard Designs.. I use this site for my own home all the time. I love this rug which they describe as "If color makes you happy, say hello to heaven."
