A Lower Level Family Room in a Traditional Split Level home in Hamilton was given the refresh the owners requested.They also asked that I incorporate casual lake references in the finishes and accents. I lightened the wall color above the paneling, painted the brick and we installed good quality broadloom underfoot. I replaced the dark plaid upholstery pieces with transitional lines and bright colored fabrics. Ethan Allen shoreline photography provides clean, graphic punch and the distressed "Glacier" finish casegoods keep it casual and light. Reflective mercury glass lamps with a higher wattage and white shades increase the light level. By "curating" their photographs and accents and showcasing them together, the space has been "de-cluttered."
