"That rug really tied the room together"
The Big Lebowski is one of my favorite movies of all time. My husband and I still laugh at the jokes after all these years. Here is our modern take on The Dude's living room in his California bungalow.
Our inspiration!
(Note: watch the move during the police interview scene to get some great shots of this part of the living room)
Our room!
Let's start with the 50's style dinette table for the dining area. For our purposes, we'll only need the table from this set.
Add in a chairs with a bright pop of color! I'll keep all of our chairs the same color and style.
A simple bamboo bar cabinet with mirrored doors will be perfect for making White Russians.
Find yourself a vintage silver ice bucket!
Bonus point for a bowling Nixon picture over the bar!
Let's add in a metal bamboo style console for under the window.
In the living area, we will need a bamboo armed sofa. I like this vintage inspired one in a chartreuse leather.
Now, instead of having a colorful torchiere lamp to the right of the sofa, let's do this set of colorful nesting tables.
Our floor lamp can be left just one color, but all the different arms keep it fun and playful.
Since we brought some green in with our sofa color, we will keep the reclining chair a neutral color. This one has the feeling of a regular armchair, but can recline! I love the overstuffed back and simple arms.
Lets bring in two additional accent tables in a fax bamboo style. One for the left of the sofa and one for next to the recliner. These will work well with the console from the dining area.
A black table lamp for the table next to the sofa.
For the final piece, you'll need a great Persian rug that will, of course, tie the room together!
I hope you enjoyed this modern take on "The Big Lebowski" living room.
If you have a TV show or movie you'd like to see broken down in a modern way, let me know!
Cheers! - Vee
