Using red throw pillows on this green sofa immediately injects a sense of cheerfulness.

Sometimes a china collection will actually help ease an awkward transition. Just imagine for a moment if the lovely red and green pieces displayed on the shelves behind the sofa, were no longer there. The green sofa with the red pillows would look stark and out of place against the bright white of the shelving and kitchen.

I like the way they added the green check throw to the back of the couch.I could do that to my green couch to add interest.

POSTS

The division between the kitchen and living area is distinct, but doesn't obstruct your line of sight from one end of this great room to the other. Very rarely do new houses have these kind of architectural detailing and storage. The change in level serves as a way to improve the view from the kitchen, and the stairs could be used for book storage as well!

Love this- shelves, open etc
