I love this house! My good friend let me come over and have a little fun with her living room.
She already had so many of the right elements, we just had to tweak things a little bit. In this BEFORE the focal point on the far wall did not feel quite right.
AFTER ---We found another art piece from storage and created a unit by moving the cabinet further to the left and centering the art above it. We then exchanged out the black stools for brown textured ones from the office.
A couple of toss pillows and greenery, completes the look.
In this BEFORE ---there was no defined focal point.
AFTER ---The little splash of red on the chair adds life to the space.
BEFORE ---The layout of the room was well balanced and the furniture well placed. But there was no defined focal point --- a place to rest the eye.
AFTER ---We took the artwork from the entry wall and placed it over the piano. We used the piano light to highlight the face of the woman in the picture and it becomes a wonderful unit to focus on. The sculpture on the left balances out the light, (it came from the bedroom). It feels so much better.
Less cluttered and LOVE those toss pillows!
Little things can make all the difference.
I'm Hooked on Fridays today, go see what everybody else is "Hooked On".
