Design Examples / Country / Family Room
Detail
The integrity and honesty of
antique pieces becomes the subconsious values of this family
room. By combining found with purchased, old with new and simple
with elegant, you can create contemporary themes without the
sterile mass production qualities of modern design. The soft
secondary patterns invite the eye to explore the dense detail
of the surroundings. This creates a harmony of sublte colors
which maintains the spirit of the room. Two time slices brought
together into the present.
Table: Antique dry food storage bin with rich patina
and thick glass table top for all to view the collection of sea
shells nestled inside the bin.
Flooring: Oak plank flooring with several coats
of polyeurethane and polished to a high gloss breathes the warmth
of life into this otherwise cold space.
Accessories: Cross stitch antique framed textiles,
brass reading lamp, antique china cabinet and art deco lamp from
the Arts and Crafts era arranged in a non-contrived manner invite
speak of home and family.
Lighting: The soft glow of the lamp shade warms
the room with its incandescent light. A compliment to the warm
glow of a fire on a quiet romantic night. |
