Making a house, into a home

Lately most of my clients have been seeking help with their existing homes. Time after time I find people who have been in their home for awhile and still are not sure what to do with their stuff! So I tell them THROW IT ALL OUT!! Just kidding that is what most think I will say when I get to their home. Sometimes it just takes a new set of eyes to see solutions to each room.

Iwas approached by a friend not to long ago with this same issue. They have been in a new home for about a year and a half, and struggled with certain rooms. One room to start with was the Living Room they had past issues with seating they did not want to feel overwhelmed with large sofas and wanted it to have a feel of more space and have functional seating that would really be used by all. Also needed just a few things to finish of the room.

After a consultation and some brainstorming a design was presented...They wanted more seating, but not a large sofa which would take up the room. The love seat seemed to fit well. The thought of 2 chairs was considered but could be a bit much, we were already keeping 2 chairs on the room.

With the ottomans even more seating if offered with additional function.

The Drapery panel style and color were inspired by an existing rug used in the room.

Throwing in a plant can really add to any room it is simple solution and something anyone can add it will always go with any room.

A few new lamps and some other existing pieces from the owners personal collection and now they call this living room home.
