Coastal Influence Transitional Living Room

eDECORATING PLAN The homeowners wanted to bring their love of sailing to their Midwestern home. This was achieved through influences of color and texture, rather than literal interpretations of a coastal design. Sunny yellow walls brighten the room with accents of teal and sand. Rattan, driftwood and colored glass give dimension and contrast. The homeowners' existing sofa was recovered an a luxurious Thibaut velvet damask fabric and topped with embroidered linen chevron pillows by Robert Allen. In the foyer, a damask-printed grasscloth lines the wall with a subtle, yet elegant ambience. The window drapery panels have a metallic quality and give height to the room.
