This modish formal living room gives off a romantic yet whimsical feeling through its use of neutral tones broken up by subtle and bold shades of purple. The dark plum velvet wingback chair is an attention grabber next to the offsetting white shag ottomans. The glass lucite coffee table and mirrored cocktail table open up the room, providing true elegance that stands the test of time. Photography by Jane Beiles http://www.janebeiles.com

Aubergine is one of our favorite shades. For a bold statement that’s also sleek, combine the rich hue with bright white and shiny silver accents.

The jacquard used on the backs of the sofa and occasional chair suite is imported from India. It sets the palette for the rest of the room .

The automated, traversing draperies permit perfect light and warmth control.

All the furniture was reupholstered in luxury velvet, and imported jacquard. Instead of a coffee table, Lyons-Archer opted to utilize three square tables to permit flexible surfaces to use while entertaining or just enjoying the room.
