casual living

Here at Post & Gray, we love all spaces -- big, small, formal, eclectic, modern, traditional, it doesn't matter to us.  But lately we've found ourselves drawn to the casual spaces, the ones that feel really lived-in - where color palettes are played with and patterns are mixed.  We've never been afraid of color, pattern or texture, and we wanted to inspire you this week with several spaces we love.

We adore the mix of chairs in this dining room. The upholstered ikat end chairs paired with the turqouise side chairs is the perfect combination. Relating perfectly to the artwork above the buffet, these chairs though different, keep this space perfectly pulled together.

Who doesn't love a color palette combining both coral and navy?  It's a fabulous update to the classic red and blue and we love the mix of patterns in the next space.

We've always loved the next space, a fabulous dining room by Boston-based, Hudson Interior Design.  While the color palette is much tighter, the oversized chandelier and graphic print of the draperies and chairs keep this nook feeling fresh and inviting.

All we know is that whoever owns the next space must have style and personality because this space certainly reflects it. The lime green in the chandelier, pillow and rug really pop against the magenta duvet.  What keeps this space pulled together and so stylish has to be the lack of color or pattern on the wall along with the high ceiling which allows tons of light into the space.  This is a fun, flirtatious bedroom and we just love it.

We all love Lonny Mag and this sunroom is the perfect reason why. Even though the space is small, by filling it with one large sectional in a light, neutral tone instead of several chairs, ensures maximum seating and the best view for all.  The oversized mirror reflects light and the patterned draperies pull your eyes to the great outdoors.  Who wouldn't want this stylish getaway in their home? No hands here.

We hope you've found some inspiration in these fabulous, lively and casual spaces.  Have a great week!

Can't wait to see you  . . . In The Gray!
