π Living Room Reveal π
My clients recently bought a house that was in desperate need of renovation and they contacted me to ask for help. They booked a Designer for a Day session with me and I got to work straightaway planning out their living room with them.
The room had been completely stripped back to its bare bones so we were starting from scratch and they wanted a cosy space to watch TV, read and entertain friends and family, complete with a secret door disguised as a bookcase! π
These were the suggestions I made:
βοΈ Panel the walls so the secret door would look even more hidden
Hang mirrors and wall lights to sit within the panels to bounce light around the room
βοΈ Deep blue paint for the walls/panelling to create the moody look and feel they wanted
βοΈCorner sofa with deep buttoning and low arms
βοΈ Bar trolley for entertaining
βοΈ Contrasting cushions for the sofa
βοΈ Large picture for above the fireplace (still to be chosen by them)
βοΈ Light carpet to offset the dark blue walls
And what a transformation it is!! ππ
It feels so cosy and homely now and I absolutely LOVE the secret door, kinda want one in my house now! π
