A F T E R:

The Challenge:
To take this large under-utilized living room and make it more inviting for everyday use. Since the house is open-concept and the project to be phased in, the existing colour scheme was to be retained, yet freshened up.
The Vision:
We saw this room as a quiet cozy space to read and listen to music, in addition to functioning well for entertaining. As requested, we would reuse furnishings if possible.

The Process:
To give the couple more reasons to use the room, we designated the existing buffet as a bar and stereo cabinet, and converted the unused fireplace to gas. The uncomfortable sectional sofa was replaced by a large cushy sofa and a custom chaise for lounging. Versatile slipper chairs were recovered in a fresh plaid fabric.

The room's southwest exposure offers an abundance of sunlight and heat that was uncomfortably intensified by the previous pink walls. Now mid-toned green makes the space feel garden fresh during the day, yet dramatic at night. New multi-layered window treatments not only look elegant, but also function to block or filter the extreme summer sun and add warmth in the winter.

The Result:
This room isn't just reserved for company any more!
