Sarah Richardson’s 16 Best Living Rooms Ever

What do zebra stripes, botanicals, abstracts and wood grain have in common? This funky spin on mid-mod, that’s what.

This sunny space manages to be both cheery and calming. Texture and pattern complement the clean lines of that gorgeous marble fireplace (that coffee table alone has us all heart-eyed). For more eye-catching design check out Sarah Richardson’s off-the-grid family home.

This fireplace has got it going on! The mix and match paint, stripes, mantel and tile make it the most eye-catching part of the room — hard to do in a space full of beautiful details.

The solid walnut coffee table grounds this monochromatic city condo by adding contrast and warmth.

Vintage brass accents (that mirror may be the best of its kind we’ve ever seen) and a crystal chandelier bring Parisienne charm to this ladylike living space.

The gorgeous lake view is the star here, but when you’re Sarah Richardson, your cottage gets the full design treatment. Doesn’t this look like the coziest, most relaxing place to spend summer vacation?

Think you’re a Sarah super fan? Read on for 14 things you might not know about Sarah Richardson.

When you’re dealing with an open space, tie it all together with warm wood accents, a sunny wall colour and a few vintage finds (the antique corbel between the kitchen columns is signature Sarah).

Oddly enough, the contrasting ceiling feels like the foundation of this serene space, providing a jumping off point for blue-toned accents.

Sometimes all you need is a pair of simple, but stunning chairs, a handful of printed pillows and a leggy coffee table to create a corner just right for two.

Here, there are a lot of places for stylish grown-ups to sit, yet it doesn’t feel crowded or confusing. The autumnal accent colours are pulled from the abstract art, which makes the room feel cohesive.

Sarah switches her style up with this space, creating a mash-up of masculine meets seventies meets contemporary. Love those striking side chairs!

This could be the epitome of the phrase “pop of colour” — a handful of red accents stand out superbly against the neutral palette.

While the first season of Sarah’s Cottage showed her renovating the family getaway, the second season saw her and hubby Alex taking on a rental on a budget. A lot of the finds were thrifted, which goes to show just how well picks from different eras and styles can go together. Nothing here screams cottage, yet it all makes perfect sense.

The gorgeous gallery wall really highlights the high ceilings, plus it breaks up a decidedly pink palette with greens and blues. Shout out to that masterful mix of pillow patterns!

There’s nothing wrong with having a more formal living room, as long as it still feels inviting. The antique French daybed looks so comfortable, but it’s still a showpiece — guests will be fighting over who gets to sit where!

Without the wallpaper, this room would still look lovely, but it would be lacking a bit of personality and charm. The large scale floral isn’t too busy, and the subtle pattern ties the palette together.
