Elmwood Home
The mom of this family with three young boys wanted a space of her own. Requesting a cozy reading chair as well as seating to entertain a few friends, we repurposed this former office and created an inviting, usable space.
Previously, the room felt very heavy and dark with all the wood paneling and cabinetry. Using wallpaper, a light area rug, white window coverings as well as brightly upholstered furniture pieces, we lightened up the space.
The comfortable reading chair was the jumping off point for this room. The chair fabric was the perfect mix of blues, tying in the deep blue walls of the dining room across the hall.
The drapery features hand blocked fabric that is used as a leading edge trim on solid curtain panels and Roman shades as well as decorative pillows for the loveseat. This little punch of color goes a long way. The reds and oranges in this fabric is picked up in the accessories. Chinese ceramic pottery brings the blues and whites together. Most of the accessories are vintage.
