Bright Update to a Traditional Space

Vienna, VA

It’s amazing what a few new accessories can do to freshen up a room!

My client came to me needing to bring a bright update to her dark Kitchen, Family, and Dining Rooms. The first thing we did was to remove the china hutch from the buffet in her Dining Room and replaced it with modern crystal lamps and an antiqued mirror with windowpane detail. We also updated the chandelier, reupholstered the dining chair seats in an ivory herringbone fabric, and added new upholstered host chairs in an ivory damask fabric. All these changes brighten the Dining Room and take it from traditional to updated!

In the Family Room and Kitchen Breakfast Nook, we carried over elements from the Dining Room to create balance in color between these spaces. Now my client’s main living space in her home is updated, fresh, and inviting, exactly what she wanted!
