Project Reveal: Client Evanwood If She Could - Family Room

Right from the start, the goal for this project was to create a bright and airy living space that would stand up to the wear and tear of a family with two young children. The room is fairly narrow, so we started off with this custom designed sofa featuring a shallow chaise, which is scaled perfectly to fit the size and shape of the room. We chose to wrap the sofa in this beautiful, yet resilient textured grey upholstery that will hold it’s own against whatever the kids can throw at it. When designing for families with small children, we are always mindful of their safety, and are careful to try and select pieces that are free of hard edges or corners. For this space we selected a large camel-colored leather ottoman, handmade in Morocco, rather than going with the more traditional coffee table option, and added a rounded stone tray for a decorative finish.

In order to hide the always unsightly TV components, we sourced this amazing light wood console, which allowed us to tuck everything away neatly behind closed cabinet doors and out of sight. We played off of the color of the ottoman with a modern camel leather accent chair, layered with a classic black and white striped textured pillow and neutral pom-pom throw, which adds to the relaxed vibe of the space.

We grounded the room with a gorgeous faded light grey vintage-look area rug that pairs well with the grey upholstery while playing perfectly off the grey undertones of the stunning wide-plank white oak wood flooring. To finish off our signature California cool look we hung this incredible over-sized grey-scale wave artwork over the sofa while adding some great rust-colored and black and white striped pillows for added texture and layering. The end result is exactly what our clients were looking for…a light and airy space that is stylishly tailored to handle the day-to-day wear required of a family of four.

Stay tuned for the den/playroom reveal…coming soon!!
