This Living Room received a Sophisticated Upgrade---
and all with what the homeowner had already!
BEFORE
AFTER
What made the difference?
We just moved the furniture on an angle,
added an armchair that was in storage down in the basement,
and added an area rug, that was rolled up in the garage!
See how the placement of the pillows
creates a more sophisticated feel.
creates a more sophisticated feel.
BEFORE
AFTER
See how inviting this space is now.
You really want to sit down and visit.
The area rug anchors the furniture
and really helps to create a nice conversation area.
The piano wall BEFORE
AFTER
It was such a high wall that we needed to add some height to the top of the piano.
This made the scale of the wall not feel so large.
BEFORE
AFTER
What do you see that makes such a difference between these two shots?
Notice how the AFTER FEELS so much Calmer.
See how the size of the armoire fits the space
between the two windows better,
and because it has doors, it can close up the visual clutter
of movies and books.
Amazing isn't it!
The wicker baskets under the table add some texture to the space.
There are touches of green, white and brown throughout the room.
Using these colors around the room, ties it all together.
The votive candles on the table add some visual life to the room.
The fabric runner softens the tabletop.
What a difference!
See if you can take some of these simple tips
and make your own space more Cozy!
