Lake House great room, Crystal Lake, IL

The challenge in this great room was to select pieces that could float in the middle of the space while honoring access to the bookcase wall, the view of the lake and the function of the TV angle. The existing area rug was the inspiration for the color story. The symmetry of the pair of camel-back sofas anchors the arrangement around the huge wood inlay coffee table from Art Italia. Blending end tables from the existing collection was a snap. Photo taken by Michelle Lecinski
