Real Spaces: Dakota's Eclectic-Western Home Walkthrough
Step inside the latest episode of Real Spaces with Furniture Row for an exclusive walkthrough of Furniture Row employee Dakota’s home — a vibrant showcase of western and eclectic styles combined with everyday functionality. Dakota offers some great tips on how to balance colors and textures in order to make a house feel uniquely yours, all without spending a fortune.
The Living Room: A Warm Welcome
The heart of Dakota’s home is the living room, a space layered with textures, colors, and pictures. Dakota is all about his roots, hence the large gallery of family photos adorning the primary wall, and the space is full of vibrant decor items with plenty of personality. According to Dakota, “Having all the different colors and textures is really important for my space. I live in my living room and so I want there to be things that are true to me and speak to me.”
But how do you balance a living room full of textures and colors? Start with simple, quality foundational pieces. In Dakota’s home, the luxurious Tivoli Leather Sofa anchors the room, offering comfort and a pet-friendly exterior, and the Addison Coffee Table serves as both a design focal point and a practical spot for magazines, remotes, and board games. These pieces both work great within a contemporary-western aesthetic because they offer natural materials and classic character. They also leave Dakota free to decorate with colorful side pieces and accents without sacrificing any functionality.

The Kitchen: Functional Flair
Dakota’s kitchen is a testament to the idea that form and function can go hand in hand. In small dining spaces like these, having the right table and chairs can make all the difference.
“Space wise, I don’t have a dining room and so I have to utilize the space that I do have and have to combine the kitchen and dining area. So I love this Timber Table because it gives a lot of seating … plus I can use it for my coffee station, and if I wanna work here, I can do that too.” - Dakota
The open shelving in the Timber Counter Height Table’s sturdy design displays favorite dishware and collectibles, while smart storage keeps essentials within easy reach.
The Bedroom: Dakota’s Personal Sanctuary
Like his other rooms, Dakota’s bedroom also tells his story. As someone who doesn't like to lounge around in bed, Dakota prioritized neatness and organization when creating his eclectic bedroom look. The Gaucho Storage Bed is perfect for its clean-lined look and storage drawers while the Maya Pillow Accent Chair and Soloman Bench provide extra seating and head-turning style.
"It is important for me to have a space that feels fresh, and very much me, and clean. I was trying to find a be that’s functional, and this has storage which is huge for me, but also having a piece that’s gonna last a long time…something that over the years still feels like me, and still is useable" - Dakota
