Linda Russell :: HouseDressing BEFORE & AFTER


next
Before: The dated black leather furniture brings down the level of sophistication of this classic pre-war condo unit. Boring white walls lose the detail of the room.		After: The walls are painted a warm color that reflects light and highlights the beautiful woodwork. Exchanging furniture from another room, the leather pieces are replaced with a deco couch and a small chair and ottoman, creating a natural seating arrangement. A small antique armoire balances the radiator and free standing sculpture opposite. The rug is exchanged for one that fits the scale of the furniture and works better with the new room color. The result is a simple yet inviting sophisticated space.
