A. I believe built-ins are a excellent method to produce a focal point in a room. In here, you might run a set best as much as the ceiling on either side of your fireplace, or have a pair made to look like credenzas. That said, I believe your desk as well as Windsor-style chair vignette is rather nice. You might balance it by adding a tall bookcase or console on the other side of the fireplace, as in our motivation shot. The louvered doors of the Coastal Living TV console (shown) fit both the desk as well as the mantel. location your TV on the console to provide it some height.
Consider repainting your walls in a pale however fresh blue-grey, like Bay of Fundy (ATC-58) (shown) from Pittsburgh Paints to complement the beautiful seafoam eco-friendly of your table lamps as well as armchairs. If you want to stay neutral, Pittsburgh Paints‘ Purity (ATC-98) (shown) is a buttercream that’s a bit paler than your present colour.
A sectional is a excellent concept for the corner where your sofa as well as chair are now. select a traditional style, like the 3970 series sectional (shown) by Lee markets in the neutral as well as resilient upholstery material Sonny in Natural. Then, pull your two seafoam eco-friendly armchairs better to the sectional for a cosy arrangement. I like your coffee table, however believe it may look as well little next to the sectional — try to discover a second one in a similar style (they don’t have to match exactly!) to pair with this as well as paint it crisp white.
Hang the classic Symmetry prints (shown) on the wall opposite the fireplace, where your sofa is now. The geometric patterns as well as rainbow of colours make quite additions to the room. balance those with a 3′ x 6′ framed mirror hung horizontally on the adjacent wall. as well as contrast the soft eco-friendly with a coral throw (shown).
