How To | Decorate | Add personality to your home

Living Room
A perfectly nice home becomes personality filled.

Red walls were a bold step toward character, but furnishings and accessories missed the mark.

See the makeover!

After
Formality reigns with the symmetrical groupings, yet the living room appears friendlier.

The Decor

  • Floral fabrics on the new sofa, loveseat, and window treatments are a soft complement to the commanding red walls.
  • New side chairs face off with the sofa-perfect for conversation.

  • Substantial accent pieces, such as the coffee table and skirted table in the corner, visually balance the large pieces.
