Room Buy Room: Laid-back Luxe

A relaxed living room proves style and comfort aren’t mutually exclusive.

Nothing says “relaxed living” like slipcovered furniture, simple silhouettes, and room to breathe. This casual and comfortable gathering space from the 2009 Southern Living Texas Idea House takes its inspiration from its surroundings—the Texas Gulf Coast—in the form of persimmon and aqua accents reminiscent of the sunset and sea. What’s the secret to infusing your home with a sense of laid-back luxe? Start by taking cues from your own surroundings. Read on if you love this look.

Easy-to-remove slipcovers are a natural choice in a beach house or a home with young, accident-prone children. We like the extra-deep, extra-plush seats of this example, which is available in more than 90 choices of slipcover fabric options. Comfort Square Sofa, from $999  Available at Pottery Barn
