Rejuvenated Space

The upgrades made in this living room, including the hand-painted, soft, muted drapes with a vibrant palm pattern, add texture and interest to the room without overwhelming the space.

Bland and Boring

The tired furniture and lack of interesting design details made the previous living room feel dull and dated.

Subtle Contrast

Warm beige was used for the walls with a lighter tan on the ceiling. Clean white for the cabinetry, molding, window casings and interior doors adds a nice unifying element to the room.
