Italian Country Villa, Full Home Design

Ivory plaster walls and honey stained wood ceiling, doors and trim contribute to the Italian Country flavor of this elegant living room. An Oushak rug in soft neutrals contrasts with the roughhewn texture of the hardwood flooring. Blue and ivory damask throw pillows accent the overstuffed sofa covered in an ultra-plush sandy hued chenille. In the arched niche behind the sofa hangs a traditional landscape painting, which is flanked by a pair of distressed blue wood baluster lamps. The set of four aqua blue swivel chairs are accented with turquoise velvet throw pillows banded in gold trim. Matching bronze and glass side tables stand between the chairs offering a place to rest a drink or book. The metal cocktail table with glass top echoes the bronze finish of the traditional iron chandelier. A heavily paneled door leads the way into the master bedroom. Aqua blue linen draperies adorned with beige trim frame the window and showcase the wonderful afternoon light that washes in from the porch.
