A neutral colour palette of dusky pinks and greys creates an informal yet sophisticated look in this living room. A modular sofa is perfect for family to sit together, and upholstery in a darker colour like grey is ideal for hiding stains. Multifunctional furniture is key. For instance, the footstools can also be used as chairs or as storage boxes for magazines.
Accent lighting can provide visual focus on art, sculpture, or favorite room features. Use track lighting, or preferably, recessed or adjustable downlights.
Chandeliers provide a sparkling effect throughout a room. Use clear bulbs in crystal or glass chandeliers to enhance sparkle.
Table lamps can be decorative and functional by not only enhancing a room's decor, but also providing lighting for reading or quiet get-togethers. Three-way bulbs are a good choice, as you are able to choose light intensity.
