After: Soft Gray Living Room

A minimalist color scheme brings a light and airy quality to the living room, while a grouping of four cozy chairs creates an intimate seating area for conversations. Sheer gray draperies are hung right below the molding to heighten the room and add softness to the windows.

Open and Sophisticated

Susan opens up the parlor by removing the columns between the two spaces. Each seating area features a different color palette, but the neutral nature of both allows the spaces to flow seamlessly together.

After: Stunning Centerpiece

To make the fireplace a focal point of the room, Susan uses a faux bois finish on the mantel, which created the look of natural wood she wanted while saving money.

Simple and Elegant
