A Tailored Living Room

WHY THIS WORKS

• Color. Your eyes bounce around this room because of 2 accent colors. Notice the lime green and turquoise spread throughout the room?
• Artwork. One of the most common decorating mistakes is using artwork that is too small and it's hung too high. These 2 pieces fit the large wall behing the sofa and are hung just right.
• Finishes/Materials. This room has a great mix of finishes like glass, wood, soft fabrics and even some shine in the stool. The room would feel a lot heavier if they had used a heavy, solid coffee table.

INSPIRATIONS:

• Palette. Do you have 2-3 colors that your eye can focus on and jump to?
• Artwork. Does the scale fit and are they hung at eye level?
• Finishes. Do you have a mix? Soft, hard, clear, heavy?
