I sort of get the feeling you could throw almost any old furniture in this room and it would still look good because oh my lord, those walls and that ceiling!!
The contrast of modern geometric with über classic is what this space is all about! The ceilings vs. the walls. The chaise lounge vs. the cocktail table. It strikes a perfect mix to me - respecting the old architecture of the home while adding in elements that bring it up to date in a way that really works. And how about that yellow band of color around the whole space? A brave, bold choice, but I do think it lends a little playfulness to the room. If you look hard enough at the reflection in that mirrored screen, you can also see a brightly painted turquoise hutch. The owner obviously isn't afraid of color!
What do you think about this fun mix and match? Is it lacking anything for you? Would you have chosen a different color for the paint? Perhaps add another layer with a rug? Discuss!
