The Tumalo Rumpus Room Reveal

Hey friends — we just shared a reel about how every room should tell a story. Today, I’m thrilled to formally introduce you to our Rumpus Room! This room was one we knew would be special because we spend a lot of time here. It’s our main living area with a TV, perfect for our family who loves a good movie night. From the very beginning, we envisioned a space that catered to how we unwind at the end of day … a cozy nook for evening relaxation and entertaining guests.

Embracing the Moody Vibe of the Rumpus Room

When designing the Rumpus Room, I knew I wanted a moody vibe, as this space would primarily be used in the evenings after dinner and work. This is when we really hunker down for the night. We chose Sherwin Williams ‘Black Fox’ for the walls and trim. This rich, warm-toned brown plays beautifully with the deep-stained ceiling, creating a cocoon-like color-drenching effect.


The Star of the Show: Our Custom Sofa

The sofa was customized to fit perfectly in the room’s unique niche. With its prominent position, the sofa acts as the main character of the space. We collaborated with Moss Home to create it, and chose a mix of Kettlewell fabrics to add a touch of fun. The combination of bouclé and plaid, as well as tribal and floral patterns, gives it a relaxed yet playful vibe.

Supporting Characters

Instead of buying new pieces, we decided to save by recovering our beloved oversized chairs that have been in the family forever. Derrick thought they were extra comfy, so we covered them in a beautiful salmon-colored fabric. Mixing old and new adds depth to a space, making these chairs the perfect supporting characters to our lead.

Telling Our Story: The Gallery Wall

Our gallery wall finally came together last week, and I’m thrilled with the result! We’ve had these pieces in our collection for years, and arranging them in a new way gave them a fresh look. Gallery walls tell such unique stories with personal pictures, framed prints, and decorative objects. Which piece is your favorite? (We’re happy to have Milkshake the cow back … IYKYK).


The Rumpus Room Wet Bar

The wet bar’s arch was part of the plan from the start. Inspired by many Pinterest images, we felt it was a great solution to create a prominent, cohesive bar space in our movie/hangout room. With our vaulted ceilings, the archway fit perfectly. Derrick framed the archway (he’s become a pro!), and we chose a warm burgundy Clé Tile for the backsplash with soapstone for the countertops.

We added a chunky grasscloth wallpaper inside the arch for an extra textural layer. The fluted cabinets, painted in a dark brown similar to the walls, add a funky dimension to the look. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Clouz Houz bar without some flair: a hammered brass sink and faucet, and floating shelves with delicate brass railings.


Always Evolving: The Hunt for Final Pieces for the Rumpus Room

Even though this is a “final reveal,” I’m still on the lookout for a few pieces to complete the space, like a floor lamp for extra lighting. Of course, I believe a room is never completely finished, and evolves with your personal style over time. So, if you need me, just know I’m still hunting for items to repurpose in fun and fresh ways!

Thanks for joining me on this tour of one of my favorite rooms in our home. I hope it inspires you to create a space that tells your own story!
