Hitting All The Angles in Palmyra, Pa

Our homeowners had recently renovated their kitchen and were looking to update their adjoining living room to create a more cohesive feel. While this room was quite large, the long and narrow floor plan was posing quite a challenge for our clients. They ended up with several large pieces of furniture pushed up around the perimeter of the room and things were feeling disjointed for them. They also had a desire to showcase family photos, as well as inject some color into the space— including window treatments that would pack a punch. With that in mind, we developed a plan that better addressed the layout, would take advantage of those beautiful views, and add some fun and personality into the space. 

One easy-to-overlook, but oh-so-important  recommendation that we made, was to carry the paint color from the kitchen into this room, as well as up onto the ceiling. While it is quite common to leave ceilings white, in this case, its stark white color was accentuating the angles of the room and visually breaking up the space. Once that wall color was lightened and carried up on the ceiling, it created a much more open and airy feeling and allowed us to create a bit more balance in this space. 

A beautiful new rug anchors a deep blue sectional and two matching accent chairs, allowing family and friends to have conversations, watch TV, and enjoy the views outside of the large window (There’s a swimming pool below!). Speaking of windows, custom drapery adds a fun pop of color as well as added height to the room.  A pair of curved, light oak bookcases add symmetry to the large wall and are the perfect spot to show off family photos and fun decor. A gallery wall above the sofa completes the look. Safe to say, our homeowners were thrilled with the final look!
