The sorority sisters are ecstatic to see their new formal-room surprise. A deeper wall color gives the space a more formal tone. The new color also contrasts beautifully with the fireplace to make it stand out more. The sorority’s red sofas are revamped with new throw pillows. Casters are put underneath the sofas and tables, this way, the girls can easily move the furniture to suit any occasion. The glass coffee and accent table look sophisticated yet they are very practical. Behind the far sofa, a glass console table is topped with two crystal-column lamps. Two polished chrome floor lamps sit behind the other sofa. The mixed style of lamps creates a unique look, but the matching shades makes them work together. The wall opposite the fireplace (not shown) is lined with small candle sconces to add drama. Using a small object multiple times on an entire wall makes a large impact.
