New Traditional Living Room
Pulling inspiration their favorite painting, this jewel toned transitional family room features teal, aqua, plum, and navy. Anchored with white washed oak furniture and new hardwood flooring, the room has teal leather recliners, a geometric sofa with plaid and floral pillows, and a custom faux iron arched window treatment.
We started with the color palette, pulling inspiration from their jewel toned oil painting, and then started tackling the layout to bring it all to life. We started by moving the tv from the built ins that flank the fireplace and instead to one of the longer walls. This provides an opportunity for more seating and a larger tv to be viewed from more angles. It also removes the occasional glare from the door and window. For comfort, a pair of teal leather recliners are shown for a more ergonomic and comfortable tv viewing with a soft geometric aqua sofa in the middle with both floral and plaid accent pillows in plum, teal, navy, and aqua. A larger rug anchors the space and adds lightness and pattern. A lighter paint color, SW 7036 Accessible Beige, provides a more neutral hue added a touch brightness. This also lets the faux finish on the ceiling become a star in the room again. A pair of floor lamps flank the media piece as well as a pair of table lamps on either side of the sofa to create a more balanced arrangement of light radially throughout the space. Large mirrors on either side of the doors help reflect more of the light in the space as well as reflect the built in bookcases on the other side of the room. Behind the bookends we added a dark grasscloth to accent her white collectibles and accessories and continue the rich color of the leather recliners. The furniture features a white washed oak anchored with rich iron legs to add lightness and a neutral base for the more colorful pieces throughout the space. One of our favorite details in a custom faux iron treatment that enhances the architecture of the window and adds interest to the window without removing the view or the light. The pattern features a stain glass motif in a large scale proportional to the window. We repeated this element in the large picture window in the foyer to continue the new architectural detail throughout the home. In addition to the furniture and window treatment selections, we helped this couple select new flooring as well. We are grateful that we were able to help them transform their home into a place they are happy to spend another 20 years in.
