« Don't Over-Accessorize | Use Lighting as Artwork »
In large part, Josh J. and Will have succeeded in allowing the focus of this room to be the amazing view of Las Vegas. Creating a great window seat to admire the vantage point lets the view take center stage. By sticking to a largely monochromatic color scheme, the team creates a sense of space by diminishing the number of visual breaks. Editing the room to allow key features to breathe and take prominence also helps this team quite a bit.
