So what can you learn from looking at this great
Great room?
Let's to go through the space and talk about
what design principles you can use from this example.
In the above photo the furniture is gathered around the
center of the room facing the fireplace which
is the focal point of the room.
It creates a wonderful conversation area.
1. Converstion Area (the furniture is balanced in the space)
2. Three Lamps in a triangle pattern.
3. Similar Patterns and Colors throughout the space.
4. See how the Rug anchors the furniture.
5. Natural Elements
(flowers, apples)
6. Notice the Different Textures on the table...
wicker basket, the wooden boxes
as well as the shiny glass candlesticks.
And of course books...I love books in a room.
7. Fabric
(the different toss pillows)
8. Staggering the heights of the items on the coffee table
makes it more pleasing to the eye.
See how you can take ideas from this beautifully designed

Add a chair or two and you will be amazed at how much personality it creates.
This chair was found in the classifieds and was a perfect fit for the room.
Notice how these two chairs do not match but they look great with the other decor.
Do not feel like your chairs have to match --- this way you can add a thrift store chair with your expensive designer sofa, or your grandmas rocker with a favorite overstuffed chair.
The Key is to have similar colors or patterns that are going on throughout the space.
These bold blue chairs really add some personality to this room!
Here are a couple of dining chairs that work great in the entry.
Chairs can be expensive but these two I found in the classifieds --- the leather chair was $170.00 and the chair and ottoman $100.00. So keep your eyes open for these kind of deals and you can make your room much more versitile!
These two chairs match ... and don't they make a statement.
This room has a number of chairs and it creates a very different feeling than if you were to use a sofa and a love seat.
See how the ottomans do not match the color of the chair but it looks good.
Look at chairs a little differently and see what you might change up at your house!

When you are ready to buy furniture . . . Remember that two Chairs and a Sofa are so much more versatile than a Sofa and a Love Seat.
You do not have to match --- In fact it can be quite interesting to have
Different pieces that do not match.
Notice the . . . Chairs
Chairs . . .
Different CHAIRS, but they work!
This is where you can take the chair your grandma gave you and the one from a yard sale and create a wonderfully "Cozy" space.Remember. . . ADD a few Chairs to the MIX!
