My client really loved the look of the first design board, so we started here:
And we worked our way to here:
Not a ton of changes but a few tweaks to push this look to a BAM. Julie definitely wanted a rug to layer on top of the wall-to-wall, but she really wanted something soft to the touch so I switched that up and went with a pile. I also really like how the color and pattern in the rug works with the rest of the vibe.
We also switched up the lighting. We went from the black pharmacy lamp to a swing-arm lamp. As much as I liked the look of the pharmacy lamp, you can never go wrong with the swing-arm style. Classic. You'll also see that we added in a mercury glass table lamp. I thought this room needed a touch of the smooth and shiny, and this lamp fit the bill.
And lastly, we switched out the stools. The new stools have exactly the look we were going for - black seats with a wooden frame (and no extra DIY work needed to be done - a big plus).
So there you have it - I'm excited to see the progress that Julie makes on this room.
What do you think of the updates?
Looks great! All the patterns are working well together!
ReplyDeleteThat rug is gorgeous, Holly! What a great mix of patterns you have going on. Loving the new barstool choice, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam and Beth!!
DeleteI really like the touch of the green velvet pillows (at least they look velvet). I also like how the ikat rug ties in all the colors! Very pretty, Holly!!
ReplyDeleteI love the patterned rug -- such a great update! And I really heart those stripey drapes. I'm glad those stayed :)
ReplyDeleteI love the ikat rug - great colors!!!
ReplyDeleteYay, she picked my green one;) Definitely love the new rug, so fun!!
ReplyDeleteLove where this is going, Holly. My favorite switch out is the stools - the new ones are gorgeous... I agree, the swing arm lamp is a classic and it definitely works, but oh, how I looove the black pharmacy lamp!
ReplyDeleteThose are great updates! I think the new rug is going to be fab!
ReplyDeleteHolly, I love this plan. All of the fabrics are gorgeous and I love them paired with the striped drapes. Can't wait to see this one come to life!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Holly! The striped curtains are going to add such a whimsical touch to the space and I love the patterned rug, it is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI say the more layers the better! Definitely an area rug on top of beige wall to wall. Love the striped drapes. It will look fabulous! good job.
