This family room was such a fun space to create. It has an edgier vibe with a punch of color, definitely a modern room. The palette and design approach allowed for so much creativity and the use of fantastic accents.
One piece that instantly sets the mood for the entire space is the Donghia swivel chair upholstered in F. Schumacher Ikat Velvet. I just adore Ikat patterns!
The shag carpet from Patterson, Flynn & Martin is another favorite element of this family room. Shag carpets can be a hard sell to present to a client, with its reminders of the 1970’s, but this carpet is hip and urban, especially with the dark grey hue.
Other important pieces for the room include the Pottery Barn storage cabinet and coffee and side tables from Design Within Reach. All are solid and anchor the space without detracting from the room’s modern lines.
Finally, the accessories really make this space speak. The hint of gold adds contrast to the furniture pieces. The artwork is abstract and grounds the use of the dominating red hue of the room. The unusual wood lamp and touch of Buddha spirit add a decorative element as well. These are the kinds of essential details that make a project into something more than just a decorated room!
