Beloved Friends star Courteney Cox recently shared a glimpse into her zen-inspired living room after taking up a less relaxing new hobby.
Whether or not you stay up to date with the latest interior design trends, some of our favourite celebrities are often leading the charge with them. Actress Courteney Cox revealed she's certainly one of those celebrities after giving us insight into her dreamy living room via a reel on her Instagram @courtenerycoxofficial.
After spotting the video, we were quickly swooning over how many popular home decor styles we could see in just one room. From the neutral colour palette to the cohesive curated clutter, there are trends as far as the eye can see.
Courteney Cox's living room reveal confirms her trend-setter status
Although Courteney was proudly showing off her new drumming skills in the posted reel, it's the contrasting relaxed room that stole our attention.
It's no secret the Scream actress knows a thing or two about interior style; we're still not over her chic kitchen cabinets, but this glimpse into her living room truly confirms it.
Once you get past the impressive drum kit, the low-slung sofa taking centre stage in the room is the perfect statement piece. This type of grounding, relaxed seating is dominating the sofa trends this year, as it draws inspiration from the informal decor of the 70s.
The same goes for the chocolate brown suede love seat to the left of Courteney. After Pantone announced their colour of the year, Mocha Mousse, we've seen this rich earth tone everywhere. And it's no surprise why.
Aside from the seating, it's hard to miss how cohesive the room's colour palette is. From the warm, deep grey on the walls to the earthy hues of the scatter cushions dotted on the couch, the space flows seamlessly.
This space features a similar neutral colour palette to Courteney's. The grey shade, Little Greene's 'Scree', is a great match for the statement warm grey used in her home.
Although grey has fallen in and out of the interior paint colour trends over the years, this warmer, more inviting hue seen in Courteney's home will always remain a popular choice. Not only thanks to how versatile it is, but also for how great it looks in all types of lighting.
Even the smaller details add so much to the space, as you look further into the room, the decorative books and vases elevate the otherwise minimal decor. Using smaller accessories like coffee table books and contrasting lamp shades is an effective way of adding personality to your home without overwhelming it.
Plants are another fantastic addition that has added contrast to the room without needing bold pops of colour. If you're not into the maximalism decor look and want to keep a space lively yet muted like Courteney's, houseplants are the way to go.
It's all about striking the right balance between not too much and just enough, and that's why this space immediately won us over.
Get the look
RRP: £64 | While we don't know the exact paint colour of Courteney's living room walls, this dark lead shade from Little Greene is a great look-a-like. It's highly pigmented, made in the UK and pairs very well with a variety of light neutrals.
RRP: £30 | Made from ceramic, this elegant vase is ideal for adding a touch of texture and neutral colour to your space. As Courteney has done, why not style it on a side table with other arranged accessories?
RRP: £11 | These cushions are fantastic for scattering along your low-slung sofa for extra comfort. At just over £10 they're a steal and add a subtle texture contrast thanks to the matte velvet finish.
While it's a somewhat simple room with no patterns or vivid colours, the statement furnishings and small yet effective touches of character are what tie it together.
We're just not sure we'll be adding a drum kit to our living rooms any time soon.
