Singer and songwriter Kacey Musgraves's interior design style is as edgy as her incredible music. Case in point: the breathtakingly cool living room in her Nashville abode. It's filled with bold pops of cotton-candy pink, just the right amount of orange, and oodles of gold and cactus-themed decor. To design the room, the country star turned to designer and lifestyle pro Elsie Larson from A Beautiful Mess — one of our favorite blogs! Elsie broke down exactly how she created the beautiful space for POPSUGAR, from Pinterest-board planning to flea market decor scavenging. Check out the inspiring space and get Elsie's tips in the slideshow ahead.
1 Go Bold With 1 Wow-Factor Piece
The starting point for this room was the stunning quartz rose sofa ($1,049) from Article. "I knew the room needed a wow-factor piece and Kacey loves pink. So we decided to go bold with the sofa and then found the perfect one," Elsie told us.
2 Keep the Rest Simple
"My best tip for creating a design plan is to choose one to two wow-factor pieces for your room up front, then keep the rest pretty simple so that those pieces can shine," Elsie said.
3 Pay Attention to Details
The white leather chairs were an easy pick for Elsie, who loved the cowgirl-inspired accents which went with Kacey's Western theme.
4 Choose the Perfect Paint
"A bright white wall is my go-to," Elsie revealed of her favorite small-space decorating tip. "The neutral canvas allows you to go crazy with fun details like a patterned rug or colorful furniture."
5 Add Something Vintage
Elsie added quirky personal touches through decor she scavenged largely at flea markets. "I love vintage because you can find special things that nobody else has! I bought all the brass things on eBay," she said.
6 Balance Your Color Scheme
Cacti can be seen throughout the space, but even these houseplants conform with the pink and gold color scheme.
7 Incorporate the Unexpected
The black and white of this media console is broken up by a pop of pink that's only revealed when the cabinet is opened.
8 Choose Accessories With Personality
Elsie custom-ordered this incredible cactus U-Turn Audio player. She explained, "The record player is hand painted with gold gilding paint. The pattern is pretty subtle, but it totally reflects Kacey's vibe!"
9 Leverage Private Pinterest Boards
To streamline the design process and ensure she fully understood Kacey's style, Elsie asked the singer to collaborate on a Pinterest board. She explained, "Private Pinterest boards are a decorator's best friend! First, we added a lot of really general inspiration — vintage stuff, old-school country music icons, crystals, brass . . . Then I would pin options for different things like chairs and coffee tables and Kacey would pick her favorites!"
