Golden Bar Cart

In the corner, a golden bar cart keeps liquor and glasses on hand for entertaining into the evening. Thanks to its metallic hues, the cart easily stands out against the patterned wallpaper, creating additional visual interest.

Unexpected Accents

Gilded accents shine against the family room's soft gray walls, helping to brighten the space with another dose of color. A southwestern skull and side table with a flowing base are unexpected but stylish focal points.

Black and Gold Dresser

Against the side wall, a black and gold dresser provides extra storage for odds and ends. Where the white lamp and framed prints add height to the vignette, the ram and spike sculptures balance the tabletop.

Fireplace Features Colorful Artwork

White walls, a white marble fireplace and faux-fur ottoman provide the perfect backdrop for bold artwork. Where the ottoman offers a cozy seat by the fire, the artwork enlivens and warms the crisp walls.

Color-Coordinated Bookshelf

With novels arranged by the colors of their spines, the built-in bookshelf is both functional and a feast for the eyes. Bookends, picture frames and other accents break the colors and add texture.
