« Before: Floor Plan Too Open | Before: Worn and Weary »
The traditional cottage style of the home is emphasized and the large space is delineated with warm colors and strategic furniture placement. Chair-rail is hung and the wall underneath is painted dark sand. The two-toned walls give the rooms a great traditional flair, helps add coziness to the cottage feel and breaks up the color palette in an interesting way. The beverage bar next to the TV helps transition between the living room and dining room. Also helping to define the two spaces are wall art, new area rugs and additional lighting.
