{Ikea Karlstad Sofa: Two Designers, Two Schemes}

To be fair, I love anything Arren Williams works his magic on, but his latest Webisode is really something, so I couldn't wait to share it with you. Arren and Tamara Robbins Griffith both take us on their respective journeys to create two very different (but equally yummy) schemes, based around a leather Karlstad sofa from Ikea. I won't say too much - as the video is well worth a watch - but Arren goes heavy on the texture with wooden surfaces and plenty of rugs, whilst Tamara opts for Hollywood Glamour.


Here's the two finished schemes, in all their gorgeous glory:

I'd love to know which one rocks it for you?

  1. I love the Arren Williams design. The textures, pottery, and warm colors make it feel like home.

    I like the clean lines of the other design, but the pink makes me feel like I'm in the sitting room of a fancy restroom.

  4. Thanks guys - fun to hear which scheme you like best. I still can't make up my mind because they are both so lovely. I really like the hide rug in the pink scheme, but also dig that graphic, red rug in the tribal-chic scheme!

  6. Oooh how fun! I love both looks; I'm not normally into boho but this particular look is really working for me. I do love the black and white cushions in the glam look though!

  8. The Hollywood glamour, for sure Sans the pink wall, I could absolutely do it. Nice clean lines, basic colors with a splash of pink. Classy.
    The other one is too busy for me.

  10. Definitely the pink with the black and white stripes, I have been trying to add more colour to my monochramtic colour scheme at home, but I am honestly a little scared to move away from the familiar... but this look is very sweet, but grown up all at the same time. :) Hazel
