The Family Room Together

Before

In this before example you see all white walls; the high ceilings have no focal point for your eyes; the furniture is crowded into one area of the room, creating imbalance; the seating is directed toward the TV; and the back of the sofa faces the entrance to the room.

After

In the after example we have used the Family Room Together palette and rearranged the existing furniture to utilize the entire room and balance it. The terra-cotta accent color has created an exciting focal point above the fireplace and bookshelves. The main wall color has softened the room and created warmth and a feeling of family comfort. The ceiling appears lower and is now connected to the rest of the room.

Before

Before

A dining room that could use some personality.

After

Metallic faux-painted ceiling, new dining table and chairs, color wash on the walls, and gorgeous fabric side panels give this dining room the elegance and intimacy that it needs.

Before

Once again, a living room that's not quite finished.

After

A plaster faux treatment in the fireplace niche, drapery panels, and accessories now complete the room.

Before

Basement TV area with unfinished TV wall.

After

Using the floor tile motif to create the illusion of a French café, the TV is almost hidden within the design of this trompe l'oeil mural, and appears as a surprise.

Before

The walls have no color and the main focus of the room is on a style of window covering that is really more suited for a bedroom - not a dining room.

After

Without purchasing any new furniture we've used a wall color, hung the artwork and, most importantly, created a stylish window treatment - a very simple fix that makes a huge impact.

Color and an Art Deco metallic back-splash, combined with metal accessories, are all that is needed to give this kitchen some "punch."

Contemporary living area in the same home allows for intimate conversation.

A border was added to the client's area rug to accent and correctly size this dining area.

Two Whimsical Bathrooms

Intentional positioning of accessories, and placing a round mirror over the existing mirror, gives this bath a whole new sense of style.

Using the client's artwork, we've added a stripe of color mixed with new towels and bath accessories to create a sense of whimsy.

Placement Is Everything

A carefully-placed tray of pomegranates and a well-hung oil painting bring drama to this kitchen area.

Color on the inside of the arches and on the back wall bring you into this room and highlight this original artwork.

Again, a simple fix: wall color, fabric table runners, copper candle holders and the right color candles were all that was needed to pull this dining room together.
