I just completed the design for the winner of my online room design giveaway.
She was so much fun to work with and the perfect person to win.
She wanted her living room to be colorful, inviting, comfortable, and family friendly.
Here is a before picture of the living room:
The layout of the furniture was the first problem I noticed.
Since this room is used mainly to visit with family and play games, I wanted to create a layout that allows for easy conversation.
The next step was selecting the drapery.
Since her accent colors are pinks, greens, and yellows, a dark blue was the perfect fit.
The bold chevron print will draw attention to the windows and add some spice to the space.
I think this floral chair from Pier 1 Imports was made for this room.
The print is stunning and the colors are spot on.
Storage was an issue in this room.
isn’t it always?
I was inspired by this Ikea expedit bookshelf hack and knew it would be perfect in the space.
The shelving will solve the storage issue and also provide a place to display some personal decorative items. Her existing piece of wall art will hang above it with silhouettes of her family flanking each side.
A new neutral rug and some colorful graphic pillows will complete this room.
I can’t wait to see it come together!
