The quiet beige wall and low, plum-coloured sectional sofa are shielded from the hot summer sun by blinds and a lacy screen: the effect is discreetly dressy, without using curtains that might make a small room look stuffy. A large painting hung at one end of the wall helps extend it visually, making the small living room seem larger. Its bright yellow lifts the colour scheme.
