This living room opens directly on to the dining room, so it is really one continuous space. To unify all of the different sized windows (look closely at the before photos), we hung simple pale celery linen curtains with black iron poles on all of the windows in both rooms. The client had a beautiful oushak rug on which we based our color scheme. She also had all of her dining room furniture, but needed the living room to be inviting, comfortable, but pretty. Most young clients always tell Phoebe that they don’t want any part of their house to be unapproachable, and this client was no different. We recovered the client’s sofa and added upholstered pieces in light, airy fabrics. She had a nice collection of paintings, which always helps. The walls were not painted – we only added the furniture, curtains and accessories! The curtains make the biggest impact in the rooms, and certainly add some much-needed architectural structure to the space. We were very pleased with the results, and we will share the rest of the house with you in the coming weeks!
