Portland Pearl District Condo
http://pangaea-id.com/pangaea-interior-design-blog

This condominium in Portland, Oregon's Pearl District was designed to showcase art collected by the owner. Bright orange is the main accent color. A deep, soft gray wool rug from West Elm provides texture under the cream leather sectional. Large painting above the sofa is by the designer, Pangaea. The custom silver wall treatment above the fireplace is also by Pangaea.

lighting - I too have a long narrow living room. Not as narrow as this one appears. I am an artist as well and have a 4 ft x 4ft orange painting that is going to be my focal point, plus other art pieces that I created ( sculptures and smaller paintings. The lighting you have in the space is what I have been looking for for several months. Any suggestions as to where one my purchase them? »

Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR This is a monorail lighting system. Any LIGHTING store (not a big box home improvement store) should have monorail lighting available. You will need the lighting store to help you with the layout and total wattage requirements. There are many pieces to the system that are all sold separately.

JC Gregg Thanks, actually I did find it at a big box improvement store for hundreds less than my local lighting store. The system, plus the recessed lighting I installed are what the rooms needed.

Where is artwork from? - Where is the artwork from above the fireplace and behind the couch? »

Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR Both are original works by me. I was an artist for many years before I became an interior designer. Sometimes I am lucky enough to have the two careers merge and I get to create artwork for my interior design clients.

knj2010 Very nice work... The silver pieces over the fireplace, are they made from wood or on small canvas?

Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR Sounds like a space planning question which requires more information and thought than I can address in a quick response in this forum. So many options and it depends on your needs. Best of luck to you.

Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR Well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you ;0) Sorry, I use some fabricators and craftspeople that work only with designers. A gal has to keep a few secrets to keep her edge. For a similar style look at various Italian manufacturers of leather furniture.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
10) If you really really really love orange, go for it and add a large orange accent wall. Here it is broken up by artwork and the fireplace, so the powerful hue doesn't overwhelm the room.
added by Jason Ball Interiors, LLC to Define Design: Modern Northwest Style
3. Bold color. Yes, colors this bold are not for everyone. However, homeowners are more and more willing to try something bold. This modern loft is anchored by the fireplace wall's bold orange tones and cool concrete grays. The creamy leather sofa and ottomans, and wood-trimmed windows add needed softness and warmth.
added by Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR to How to Arrange Furniture in Long, Narrow Spaces
1. Keep the foot traffic to one side. One of the main difficulties in arranging furniture for a long, narrow room is where to have people walk through. The number one thing to avoid is sending your foot traffic between a seating piece and the coffee table in front of it.This condo's main living areas are one long rectangle with tall ceilings that made it feel even more narrow. You can see that there is a French door to the patio on one end ....
