Playroom / Snug, Design by Jo Bee Design by Jo Bee Living room

I am so thrilled with the results achieved in this gorgeous cottage. I was commissioned to style this room, to tie it all together; embracing the floral country curtains and traditional raspberry sofa's, neither of which were entirely in line with my clients taste. The rest of the house is young & fun, with gorgeous pops of colour against a background of pure white. This room is both the first room you walk in to from the entrance at the front door, as well as used mainly as a snug and playroom. We started by enclosing the open shelves, which housed the TV as well as lots of bits and bobs, in the alcove of the fireplace with beautiful shutters. We added two large feature cushions on each sofa with soft yet bright colours they bring in the beautiful contrast of turquoise as well as tie in with the raspberry shades found in the sofa's and curtains. A large turquoise glass table lamp adds freshness as well as a lovely modern feature on top of a more rustic chest. I love the contrast between the new and old. By painting one part of a wall in Farrow & Ball 's Pavillion Gray it creates a cosier corner with the added atmosphere of a warm filament bulb feature wall light. The final touches of a grey and turquoise geometric plant pot as well as a battered 'LOVE' sign tie all the colours together around the room. The window area becomes more contemporary by adding a trunk with upholstered top in a grey geometric heavy weight fabric, which creates a great contrast against the pretty floral country curtains, instantly making this a more up-to-date & fun family space. All in all a great success! Huge thanks to my lovely client for letting me share these pictures with you! And again massive thanks to Vector-Photography.com for the fab photoshoot!
