DIY Living Room Design 10/11/2009
Dear Francesca, I just saw your kitchen remodel on apartment therapy and think it looks great. My husband and I just purchased our first apartment and we have a number of items that need to be changed. I think it would be a great idea to start working with a designer now so there is a cohesive look when everything is done. We look forward to working with you on helping us design our new home. Sincerely, New Homeowners Floor Plan The goal of the room was to maintain the open "lofty" feeling and to create a space versatile and comfortable for entertaining their large family and friends. The New Homeowners wanted a contemporary feel, mixed with mid-century pieces along with modern/eclectic accents. Here is my design plan: I started with selecting a classic style contemporary sofa. Its clean lines will allow me to introduce accents with interesting shapes to make the space eclectic and energetic. A jute bucle area rug offers a natural organic touch while keeping the room feeling casual and approachable. Slipper chairs with mid century lines keep the space feeling airy with it's long slender legs. They are also light weight and can be moved to have intimate conversations. Floor to ceiling drapery elongates the height of the ceilings making the space feel grand. Keeping all the upholstery pieces in neutral tones, sets the stage for vibrant, bold accessories in tones of lime green and peacock blue that add an unexpected touch which makes this room unique and a cheerful space to hang out. I will post the photos once the room is complete....Stay tuned- Furniture Plan  |
