This room was a blank canvas. The client wanted a sophisticated space, with traditional furniture highlighted with modern elements. This is a large, long vertical space with one window. I knew I had the ability to provide the client with statement furniture, wall sconces, a large  chandelier, and a seating area provided in the window space and around the fire place. The client noted that they wanted a place to entertain, have conversation or simply watch television. 

For this project the client was unsure how to maximize the vertical nature of this room. They knew they wanted multiple seating areas, for different uses such as game night and entertaining. When presented with styles they were drawn to, they mentioned they like traditional with a modern twist, darker furniture, deep, rich colors and traditional fabrics. They wanted the space to feel sophisticated, and timeless but not stuffy and uncomfortable. 

This space is a large, vertical room. I wanted to use the square footage to maximize the space without feeling overwhelmed and cramped. Placing the sofa and chairs facing each other, and adding wall sconces help to give the illusion of space, using the vertical room on that wall. In front of the window I placed two chairs and a round  table for extra seating or intimate dinners. Placing the table here allows for multiple uses in this space.

A deep greige keeps the room light, airy yet warm. I highlighted the fireplace with a masculine leather sofa, and linen chairs facing it for a conversation area. I layered traditional art with greenery, decorative vases and sculptures. The shelving is now well balanced. The high ceilings now has a large open chandelier for lighting and a focal point. The added seating area doubles for games, intimate meals or work fitting perfectly under the window. Finally, the client wanted a small bar cart to provide refreshments.
