Asian Theme Transforms Blank Space Into Elegant Living Room

Art and Accessories - $420

• The wall-mounted surround-sound speakers are hidden behind boxes made by design coordinator Charles Burbridge. For a decorative effect, fabric is stretched over a small frame, which fits inside the larger box.

• Since the homeowners have new furniture, the only new pieces are a sofa table and entertainment unit. ( furniture: Target - console table 074090226, armoire 074050210)

Fabric - $185

• To draw attention to the balcony view, Baltzer creates vertical-striped window panels out of taupe and pale blue fabric. She cuts the fabric into strips, stitches them together then finishes them with a cotton lining. The sofa is jazzed up with pillows in a coordinating paisley pattern. (fabric: Jo-Ann Fabrics - paisley, 403774; blue/tan)
  

Paint - $100

• Pale blue paint adds just a touch of color to the walls. A darker shade makes the fireplace wall more of a focal point. (paint: Mark's Paint Store - Benjamin Moore, HC 150 Yarmouth Blue, HC-148 Jamison)
