Project Overview:

This room presented interior designer Berenice Sanchez with an opportunity for great change. Dated fireplace, inset walls with no character did not match the desire for a welcoming, fresh family room for family gatherings and enjoyment during the holidays. The 15′ x 17′ room adjacent to the kitchen required properly scaled furniture without blocking the views. In addition, window treatments to frame the plantation shutters were desired. There was also the lack an overall lighting scheme.

The family room was transformed adding interest in the inset wall by dressing the wall with off white textured wallpaper, a beautiful oversize piece of modern art, added layered lighting and a gorgeous console made this inset go from blah to wow. The fireplace was reframed to create dimension and extended all the way to the ceiling and dressed with sparkling white ledger tile an oak mantel stained in dark walnut finished made the fireplace stunning.

The wall with plantation shutters was dressed with stationary drapes. Also an oversize clock to finished the look on this wall that is the first area visits see when entering to the room.

Plenty of sitting in modern drapery assure comfort for family and visits, an oversize area rug with geometric pattern hugged the furniture including coffee table and side tables which completed this family room.
