Suburban Great Room

It might be hard to believe, but this great room was an outdated mix of teal, black and gold. The room had some beautiful elements that were not being highlighted, and the expansive walls made the room feel formal and cold. Using elements to create the appearance of wainscoting, refinishing the beams, playing into the wrought iron, implementing brick, adding some bookshelves, and earthy colors transformed this space into a warm and inviting haven. It should be noted the work was done by the homeowner, assisting in the effective utilization of budget.
