Living Room Update
The Challenge
The homeowners love the character and generous proportions of their home, but the living room felt unfinished and lacked the warmth, personality and sense of balance they were hoping for. Although the room has great bones, the furniture was undersized for the scale of the space, leaving it feeling disconnected and out of proportion.
The Opportunity
Rather than making structural changes, we focused on making better use of what was already there. By introducing larger-scale furniture, creating a statement fireplace, incorporating custom joinery, and layering colour, texture and traditional detailing, we transformed the space into a home that feels warm, welcoming and full of personality.
The Outcome
- Created a warm, welcoming living room full of personality.
- Improved the room's balance and proportion through carefully considered furniture selection and space planning.
- Introduced a vintage brick fireplace as a statement feature and natural focal point.
- Designed a custom joinery unit that brings balance to the expansive wall while adding generous storage.
- Layered colour, texture and traditional detailing to create a timeless vintage-inspired aesthetic.
