From So-So to Sensational...

Before - The furniture placement does not complement the angled fireplace - which is a natural focal point in this room.

By moving the buffet and lowering the artwork we create visual weight and interest on the right wall of the living room.

What do you do with a boring bedroom when the landlord does not allow paint?

And...

How do you add pizzazz with very little cash?

Moving the bed to the long wall and adding a new framed poster above it creates a focal point.

Two new night tables and contemporary lamps add needed storage and light.

Accent pillows in red, a new red chair and framed artwork made from a travel calendar add personality and a punch of color.

Before - An uneven distribution of furniture created a room that was off balance. Lack of adequate lighting and plain vertical blinds make the room seem uninviting.

After - We pulled the love seat away from the wall and positioned it at an L with the sofa. We removed one of the end tables and moved the sofa table behind the sofa.
We added an area rug from the bedroom to "ground" the entire arrangement. The new arrangement is now dramatic and pulled together.
