After
Two pictures of the same size and colours were placed approximately 10" above the sofa.
A smaller photo was placed above the coffee table to emphasize its own area. (Hint- artwork should almost always be placed above a piece of furniture or decoration to accentuate the space. Otherwise, the artwork might be lost on an empty wall.)
A green plant was placed in the corner beside the sofa to brighten up that dark corner and add a splash of colour. We found an ottoman (for an amazing $60) which accented the room perfectly and had several functions for the room - a footstool, another seat, and a place to play boardgames!
On the opposite wall to the sofa (not seen here), we created a symmetrical, 6-photo cluster of her growing children.
Just enough detail to personalize the room.... and warm it up!
