Saturday Inspiration

Amanda Lindroth

As you may recall, I bought a new pink velvet sofa for my study that I really love. I was thrilled to find a room that uses a pink velvet couch, as it is for sure rare. 

This Amanda Lindroth room incorporates a stunning pink velvet corner banquette with bullion fringe, dramatic coral wallpaper, a lucite cocktail table, a Chinese Chippendale chair, a palm frond lighting fixture, bamboo blinds, wicker sconces, and a seagrass rug topped with a striped flatware rug. These rugs made out of seagrass squares are very well priced and a signature item of hers. She loves juxtaposing high and low end pieces. Note the pale green ceiling. The wallpaper is Schumacher's Great Barrier Reef.

I just found a second shot of this room with a vintage Blanc de Chine Chinoiserie monkey and a white faux bamboo sconce. I love this room.

  1. Lovely post Beth! The CCC is lucky to have you giving it so much design love. The rug... I used to be able to buy these at World Market and Pier 1. I had to leave them behind in a house I just sold. I loved that they were inexpensive and I could stitch for a custom rug in sunroom and porch. I cannot find them anywhere now. Any sources out there?

    1. Easily found online in squares - really cheap or as a rug. Look at Etsy and look at websites featuring Hawaiian and tiki bar things.

  3. It's a wonderful room! It looks like the top photo may have been cropped, which unfortunately excluded the wonderful details on each side of the room; the Chinoiserie monkey, the bamboo wall sconce, (love the sconce - I wonder where she found that), and the large pillows on the right.

  5. The natural fiber rug with another rug on top is having a moment here in Charleston too. We tend to put a vintage oriental as the top layer. I love the layered look! I adore that palm chandelier too....

    1. I used to live in Beaufort, SC and love Charleston style. A vintage oriental layered on a seagrass rug sounds perfect!

  6. A pink sofa and a large monkey! That is a room I want to stay in for hours. Love the palm lighting fixture. Heaven!

  7. Isn't that a perfect paper for your sea/tropical theme! It also comes in a fabric so cushions if you don't want to go wallpaper, though a feature wall would be stunning.
