Pre-made e-decor package: Neutral palette living room with home office

As you may already know I work in the online interior design business for many many years now, helping people from all around the world design and decorate their homes remotely.

After many requests and insightful comments, I decided to present you with a free pre-made e-decor proposal, like the one I am giving to my clients, that you can utilize for your living room should you be in the need of a professional interior design guidance.



For this design concept, I focused on creating a contemporary living room theme that incorporates a small home office space. It has a neutral monochromatic palette and is influenced by the scandinavian, minimalistic and wabi-sabi tendencies.


THIS e-DECOR PROPOSAL IS SUITABLE FOR

* people who live in small apartments and want to craft a pretty corner to work from in their living room

* people who love neutral color palettes with warm touches in a minimalistic and scandinavian approach

* people who appreciate professionally looking interior design but don't necessarily want to hire an interior designer for their home

* people who need the inspiration to furnish and decorate their living room at their own pace

* people who prefer quality over quantity when it comes to picking the right pieces for their home


not suitable for

* large families with young kids

* people who prefer bold colors in their lives

* people who possess a large collection of items that want to keep in the room

* people who like to have large gatherings there due to an insufficient amount of seats

* people who need a spacious home office with lots of storage to work from

COMMENTS

* Since this pre-made e-decor package is addressing to a worldwide audience some of the stores I link to might not be a fit for some countries (perhaps they do not ship there or the shipping costs are too high). In this case, I suggest that you google the product description so you will find the best retailer in your area.

* The budget shown on this pre-made e-decor proposal is approximate and is affected by location, store pricing practices and items purchased. It is mostly meant to give you an estimate guidance of what such a design proposal might cost.

* Product stock is time sensitive so, there is the possibility that some of the products shown in this proposal might run out of stock or cease production at some point.

* No sales, shipping costs, taxes and handling are shown on the shopping list.

* The floorplans shown are for reference purposes so as to give you an idea of how this specific design concept might work on different occasions. They are inspired by typical apartment spaces in an average size. As you can imagine, the layout possibilities and the alternative options coming with them are pretty much endless.

* This e-decor package is lacking the 3d visualizations due to a time shortage but I am planning to create them and update this post soon.



If you prefer a bespoke e-decor package feel free to contact me with your request. Please note that due to a large number of ongoing projects there is a waiting list but I'll be happy to book a seat for you as soon as one opens up.
