1. The Traditional Living Room:
Designer’s Notes
Positive and negative design elements are essential to this formal dining room’s appeal. A gorgeous handcrafted wood mantel and mirror from Mexico are the focal points in this large room. Colorful area rugs anchor small furniture pieces, while the more substantial sofa and wood furniture pieces hold a presence of their own. Negative design elements, such as the atrium windows, hallway doors and glass coffee table, help keep energy flowing around the room. Photo by Dino Tonn.

This is a beautiful room!!!
Designer’s Notes
Yellow: the color of sunshine! All it takes is this one yellow, chunky wall with cut out pass-through to add that whimsical flair. Dark wood floors meet the carpet in a swooping curve that mirrors the soffit above and add a modern feel to this 1970s ranch home in Phoenix. The fireplace had been exposed masonry block and so we wrapped it with drywall accented with vertical reveal strips and painted it a warm dark taupe to offset the yellow.

6. The Country Living Room:
Designer’s Notes
A plain, long, boring wall has been transformed into a striking trompe l’oeil in this space. Because of the mural’s three-dimensional look, the space looks larger and sets a great background for the country-style furniture.
