The conversational seating plan in the great room at HGTV Smart Home 2018 feels bright and airy and invites relaxation in a calm color palette.

Throw pillows in a mix of neutral patterns soften the look of this timeless cream couch with black pinstripes. A mix of plants behind the sofa brings the outdoors inside and adds life to this expansive space.

A mix of magnolia leaves adds a dose of Southern charm to this rustic side table, while glass teardrop lamps add a modern accent.

Mixing and matching neutral pinstripe patterns with traditional coral-toned textiles adds depth and interest to the seating area in the great room.
