Transitional Family Room With Blue Lamp
"A room does not have to be full to be complete. Less can, in fact, be more," says designer Lauren Clement. "Make what you do put in a room count with high visual impact and, of course, functionality." The designer recommends waiting to find just-the-right pieces for a space, instead of resorting to quick buys that may not be the best fit.
