Sarah Richardson’s own living room and sun room were designed with classic traditional style, and their approachable elegance is a quality so many of us seek after.
Make sure you watch the video below where Sarah Richardson discusses her living room philosophy (if you can’t touch it or put your feet up, why have it?)!

Sarah went mega as far as scale for the fireplace, and it demands attention with its attractive marble. (And isn’t it refreshing to not spy a big black TV box over the mantel?)

Sarah Richardson’s Classic Family Room
Sarah Richardson’s family home, an off-the-grid house in Ontario has so many pretty design details to note, and in the rustically chic family room/media room, we see Sarah’s favorite blue and white scheme.
Wood beams add warmth and interest to the space while also delineating different areas. There aren’t many media rooms spotlighted on this blog for good reason…they tend to be one-note, packed with leather recliners, and completely absent of natural light. So I say, hello, lovely, to this one which takes a more multipurpose approach and includes sumptuous fabrics.
Paint Color in Family Room
Curious about the paint color? It’s Dulux “Natural White.

I really miss watching Sarah on HGTV. It was informative and entertaining. Her homes and those she decorated for clients were beautifully decorated but livable.
Her current living room is perfect! I believe, too, that your living room should be used, not a showroom. That it can look nice but still be comfortable. I also love neutrals. They are restful. I found when doing my Livingroom that it is not easy decorating in neutrals. You have to use texture to get an interesting composition. I’m in love with the found artifact over her fireplace. It’s truly a statement piece.

I miss her shows too, and I only get little video clips on youtube since she is associated with hgtv canada now. Yes – and the fireplace itself! 🙂
