Formal Living Room

Our clients wished for a complete room and furnishings update, with the baker's rack as the only item that had to remain in the space. They wanted a formal space for entertaining that was comfortable enough for everyday use. We added crema marfil tiles to the fireplace surround. We repainted the walls and added a contrasting band of color to the ceiling to break up the wide, flat expanse of the original white ceiling. Long drapery panels add vertical drama to the space. The fact that they are hung much higher than the window is concealed by a mock roman shade. Layers of accessories and art add to the casual elegance of the room. www.harrellphoto.com
