Living Room Design Ideas With Susanna Salk for Ballard Designs

In her book, “Be Your Own Decorator,” Susanna Salk emboldens her readers to find inspiration in the masterfully decorated rooms of top designers featured in her book. Her design philosophy is practical: find what you love about these rooms and repeat it in your own home.  But is it easy? We challenged Susanna Salk to recreate the essence of four rooms from her book using key pieces from Ballard Designs.

Living Room Design Ideas with Susanna Salk A Valorie Hart Room - for Ballard Designs

From Ballard Designs:
"Valorie Hart’s living room is an exercise in the art of effortless mixing. The room is filled with personality from top to bottom, with a creative juxtaposition of style, period and price points. Susanna couldn’t wait to replicate the look and feel of one of her favorite rooms from her book."

Susanna says,“The reason why all these different items exist together is because they’ve been placed there with love and confidence,” she says. “There’s a happy feeling to this room that once we put all the pieces together, it definitely mirrors what Valorie did.”

And if you don't have the book Be Your Own Decorator, get it now. It really is fabulous.

    Cool! Susanna's comments on your room (thus your strengths) were right on. Being greedy though, I would have enjoyed seeing her complete her interpretation of your space.

  2. Congratulations! I'm going to order that book...

    I spied the zebra rug, too; love how it's positioned on the floor.

  3. It was fun seeing what she did to replicate your room, and it was also interesting to see this room "come alive" in your video, Bloggers' Cocktail.
