Since we live in a condo, it can be challenging to mix my classic/eclectic style with the sleek modern lines and surrounding buildings that seep in through my windows. But I'm totally up to the challenge!
 |
| If your view is already colorful outside your windows, go with a neutral color base with furniture and add pops of color with accessories. Use a crystal lamp to add seamless lighting to a sofa table. |
 |
| I created several seating areas by separating this love seat from the rest of the living room. It's a nice spot for reading or taking in the view to either side. |
 |
| The classic lines of the furniture done in a modern way are perfect for condo living. Play up the height of your ceilings by hanging a mirror as high as you can and adding an oversized lamp. |
To make the room more cozy, switch out the coffee table with a vintage trunk or add a jute rug. Drapery would definitely help warm up this space, but we haven't quite gotten there yet ;)
So what challenges do you have with your unique space?
Your house is stunning!

ReplyDeleteThanks Bri, I go to the one in Beaverton mostly - the one at the airport is my backup :)

ReplyDeleteYou certainly aren't short on lovely natural light in there. That's been a bit of an issue for us in our downstairs sometimes. Let me know if you ever want help with curtains! Not hard to make! =)
P.S. I keep meaning to call you... need to talk to you about something plus get house advice! =D
Thanks! It's mostly a matter of how to hang the curtains since we can't drill into the ceiling or metal framing around the windows - BLERG! hahah
