Cheerful Family Room

The family or great room shown here had a single issue: it was in the center of the home without any natural light. The solution was to use warm bright colors, like the Farrow and Ball paint on the walls, to enliven the room and make it feel as if it did have some natural illumination. Reds and neutral chocolate browns in the furniture and flooring grounds the room. Hair on hide used on the empire style chairs, as well as a rug on the floor, give a hint at South West living and also keep the styling from being too formal. All photos are by the designer.
