After: Feminine, Modern Living
The Solution
With the help of design coordinators Summer Baltzer and Charles Burbridge, Snijders implements his pink and brown color scheme with modern materials and feminine touches. The same chocolate brown sofa stands out against the feminine pink walls and the raspberry striped rug. Modern chrome and glass tables and lamps add sleek, clean lines to the space, while a custom-made, dimensional, Lucite wall hanging over the sofa adds a little color and sparkle. The frosted Lucite coffee table with triangular chrome legs rounds out the modern design.
