The Lounge: Entertaining in Style

You know that place you love to go to have a glass of wine with your friends? It has a relaxing vibe, eclectic decor that is totally different than you home, furniture that is both chic and comfortable and has neither cup holders or queso stains from last year's Super Bowl.  Well, one of our recent clients wanted one of those exact kind of spaces in her own home to entertain, lounge and well, just be a grown up! Since her formal dining room was not frequently used, we transformed it in to a chic lounge that rivals the swankiest of hotel bars. "Waiter, another prosecco, please!" 

Before
Even though there was decent natural light coming in to the room, it was sucked up by the dark walls and ceiling. By replacing the wallpaper and painting the ceiling, we immediately brightened up the room.

After
Pale gray club chairs from Wayfair form the main seating area. We added mirrored panels from Wisteria on wall opposite the window to reflect the light and make the room even brighter.

We used a deep cobalt blue as an accent color on the neutral palette with this lacquered sideboard from All Modern.  The Pottery Barn drapes are customized with the addition of a blue Greek key design tape and our favorite DIY dot painting also adds blue accents. Artwork over sideboard is from Virginia artist Juniper Briggs. 

I think this girl has found her happy place. What about you? Do you have a space in your home that needs a refresh? We'd love to help you create your own happy place. Contact us for more info.
