Functional Family Rooms with Flair
This family room features a diverse mix of fabrics, patterns, and materials to create a globally inspired, eclectic space. The deep midnight blue accent color on the ikat drapery is carried over to the hand-painted wooden plaques above the fireplace. The whole look is grounded with a large oriental rug and a classic-lined sofa. Accent furniture consisting of a unique hammered bronze metal coffee table, modern orange chair, and classic wing-back chair complete the look.

This wingback chair is an old family heirloom that was re-invented. By staining the legs a deep espresso brown, using a charcoal velvet fabric, and light cording, the chair was made relevant again. The classic lines of the chair combined with a piece of modern street art behind it, create an unexpected, eclectic look.

Elegant simplicity describes this high rise unit. A custom cornice board and drapery panels ,frame and soften the room. Subtle metallic accents and reflective surfaces are the perfect finishing touch.
