The client wanted a classic living room design but with an edge. The black painted brick on the fireplace wall creates that edge. The lines of this living room are clean but there is a wonderful blending of modern and traditional style in this space. We integrated the client’s antiques: three tables, a grandfather clock, her newly painted red cabinet, her armchairs which were previously brown and now covered with a gorgeous paisley fabric, and her marble lamp with an elegant new black shade. To this we added modern elements to create a fresh and timeless style. Materials used: Armchairs re-upholstered in a classic grey paisley fabric, modern grey ivory and taupe area rug, black and white and grey Sherwin Williams paint, antique marble lamp with a new black shade, refurbished oak hardwood floors in a rich walnut tone, Sofa fabric is grey microfiber, antique grandfather clock, leather and chrome armchairs, upholstered tufted ottoman, burled wood end tables.
