San Marino Southern Belle Interior: Living Room
This sunken living room had all the elements we needed to create a Southern Belle interior: Detailed millwork, hardwood floors, and a gracious bay window. We added new wall moldings and painted the ceiling a soft blue. To capture the Charleston aesthetic, we played up the architectural “bones” and layered in beautiful fabrics, texture, wood, and acrylic. We collaborated with Club Fenders, LLC in New Canaan, CT to customize the fireplace bench, which enhances the pre-existing wall of built-ins with window seats. The room features furnishings in a combination of white and blue in different patterns. Two skirted ottomans under the 1920’s Antique English oak gateleg table in the front bay window serve as additional seating when required. The acrylic coffee tables house four small ottomans in printed fabrics on castors for the homeowner’s four children and are complemented by the acrylic cabinet and drapery hardware. The gold accents throughout the room play warmly to the blue and beige palette and the chinoiserie toile of the drapes...well, bless their perfect hearts, they steal the show.
