This family room of grey, black and cream changed personalities with color! The sectional is a mid tone blue with accent pillows picking up fuchsia, touches of orange and bits of green. The fuchsia velvet chairs and drapes pull the color around the room balancing it out. The furniture picks up colors from the large collection of blown glass the owners have collected. This room is easy to maintain, comfortable and beautiful. The white coffee table and wood trim throughout the room work perfectly with the colors. What a pretty room to relax in after a busy day! Color adds personality and fun.
The pillows and glass art play well together and work perfectly on the white multi level round coffee table. Repeating colors around a room is a very important part of balance and placement. It
