Removing the heavy bookcases on either side of the fireplace made an immediate difference in the transformation of this living room by Designer Bailey Austin Bird. Removing existing window shutters added much more natural light, which created a warmer, lighter feeling space. Patterned sheers paired with the solid charcoal panels make the draperies stand out as both functional and beautiful.

The original living room was so very brown - brown everywhere.

This cozy living room is perfect for a family to settle in and enjoy. A large navy blue sectional provides plenty of room to stretch out. To keep things kid-friendly, designer Bailey Austin Bird used crypton fabrics throughout the room. A wood coffee table from Restoration Hardware and a couple of orange poufs complete the relaxed look.

Dark charcoal drapery panels add solid color, while patterned sheers allow plenty of light to fill this warm, sunny space. A big, soft sectional and bright orange poufs provide comfy seating. The wood coffee table fits the space to perfection.
