Introduction: Meeting in Simplicity and Elegance
Simplicity is often misunderstood in home decoration. In fact, simple decoration is not about removing but about choosing carefully — using few but impactful pieces. Elegance is not created solely through showy details but through deliberate arrangement and an aesthetic stance.
The living room is the soul of a home; whether traditional or modern, it can gain warmth and personality with carefully selected accessories. Here are Berthe-style suggestions for a simple yet dazzling living room…
1. The Golden Rule of Simplicity: Fewer Pieces, Greater Impact
In living room decoration, avoiding excessive accessories and making thoughtful choices allows each object to stand out.
Tips for creating impact:
- A few large objects on a single wall
- Accessory groupings in threes
- Clean lines that prevent unnecessary clutter
Achieving a “simple yet chic” look means maximizing the visual appeal of each item.
2. Accessory Selection in Berthe Style
Natural Fabric Cushions and Pillows
Nature holds both simplicity and warmth. Berthe’s famous cushion collection, with natural fabrics, simple patterns, and soft colors, makes the living room both cozy and aesthetic.
- Linen or cotton textures
- Neutral tones: beige, cream, sage green
- Minimal geometric or linear patterns
These pillows are perfect for adding character to plain sofa sets.
Handmade Candles and Scents
A candle creates not only light but also atmosphere. Berthe’s naturally scented ceramic candles offer both decorative appeal and a functional ambiance.
- Natural scents like lavender, sandalwood, vanilla
- Simple designs in ceramic or glass forms
- Can be used as a single large candle or a set of three minis
They are not just decorative objects placed to the side but pieces that transform the scent and mood of the room.
Ceramic & Minimal Objects
Ceramic objects are symbols of a calm yet effective presence in living room décor. Berthe’s designs carry a handmade touch.
- White or matte earthy tones
- Elegant vases, small bowls, or object forms
- Can be arranged in a set of three, especially on coffee tables
Such objects, when placed in a corner or on a coffee table, emphasize simplicity and deliver minimalist elegance.
Natural Wooden Serving Pieces
Wooden accessories add warmth and a natural texture to the living room. Pieces like Berthe’s olive wood serving items bring rustic touches to the décor.
- Wooden trays, small serving boards
- Functional and decorative on the table
- Provide texture balance when paired with ceramics
Botanical Touches: Small Greens
A living plant offers a stronger sense of life than ready-made décor. Especially when positioned in the corner of the living room:
- Small succulents or fleshy-leaved plants
- Simple-form ceramic pots
- Creates a fresh and natural atmosphere
Berthe’s ceramic pot designs complete both simplicity and elegance.
3. Color Harmony and Texture Balance
Without the right texture and color balance, a minimalist look can turn monotonous.
Tips:
- Floor + accessory contrast: For example, dark cushions or ceramic objects on a light sofa
- Mix materials: Ceramic + wood + fabric
- Single color point: Repeat a pastel color (like sage) in a few accessories
- Interaction with light: Candlelight creates soft shadows on ceramic surfaces
This balance gives the living room a simple yet rich appearance.
4. Accessory Combinations for Different Corners of the Living Room
A) Coffee Table Mini Balance
- A pointed ceramic object + two small candles
- Serving set in a wooden tray + small natural-fabric tablecloth
- A simple photo frame and a plant
B) Shelf or Console Area
- Set of three small ceramic bowls
- Folded linen cushions or throws, still minimal
- A simple wall photo in a black matte frame
C) Window Sill or Daybed
- 2–3 plant pots + a small ceramic vase
- A wooden bookend
- A soft-textured throw blanket
These areas form the warmest and most personal corners of the living room.
5. Few Tips, Big Difference: Combination Approaches
- Tone-on-tone use: Match accessories by selecting pieces in complementary shades
- Rule of three: Grouping in threes is easy on the eyes and enhances focus
- Leave space: Avoid clutter; let each piece breathe
- Avoid uniformity: Mix different sizes and textures
These approaches ensure the living room looks simple yet stylish.
6. The Berthe Touch: Craftsmanship & Naturalness
Two features stand out in Berthe products:
- Sense of craftsmanship: Each object is hand-selected, with small variations that make it unique
- Use of natural materials: Ceramic, wood, cotton, linen — avoiding plastic or glossy surfaces
This approach makes living room décor more personal and sincere.
7. Conclusion: Elegance Born from Simplicity
In living room decoration, instead of the idea that
“the fewer accessories, the simpler,” think “the fewer but the more impactful.”
For creating a simple yet elegant living room in Berthe style:
- Few objects
- Quality materials
- Color and texture balance
- A natural impression
…will give you a warm and aesthetic living space.
Remember: elegance often lies not in the details, but in the spaces between them.
