Funky and Fun Living RoomTransitional Living Room, San Francisco
Dark gray tones are juxtaposed with bright shades of yellow, green, and orange in this funky and fun living room. Framed white windows emphasize the view while nature-inspired patterns and organic décor blur the lines between the indoors and out. A contemporary chandelier serves as a statement piece while a white mantel and stone fireplace create a strong focal point within the room.

I love this light but I think it is too big for my living room. We only have 8 foot ceilings. What is the ceiling height in this room?February 2, 2015

I don't see any problem if your room is just 8' tall. The chandelier is not that big,,32" diameter. It depends on the size of your room. I'm sure that the fixture can be adjustedFebruary 2, 2015

It looks like you have a traditional dining set. If that's the case, I'd suggest more navy blue in the paint than the grey to compliment the style of the dining set. It has three windows and should have enough natural light.June 5, 2014sandnmytoez
Thanks for taking time! I will always love this room and am still inspired by her color! We recently did my son's room in Silhouette too and he thinks it's the coolest in our home! Here's where we ended up ... The chairs were actually an earlier design mishap we made work here and the map mimics the lovely window in Ann Lowengart's infamous design. Our room is an inviting and functional office space that always gets compliments! So fun! I appreciate your interest!

Agreeing with Ann Lowengart Interiors, maybe you can share what the room looks like and the paint swatches? Dark works for this particular room because it has large windows that lets a lot of light in so the room wont look gloomy.May 7, 2014

Ann, Can I ask what color and mfg. the brown paint is? I live in Houston and I recently purchased a new home. When I was searching I visited a home with dark brown paint in the dining room. Unfortunately, the owner didn't remember the paint color. I finally purchased a home and I am looking for a dark brown paint. Thanks so much and it's a beautiful room. I hope this is okay to ask.........Thanks for the inspiration! DeborahJune 10, 2013

If you took away the coloured accents in this room it would be drab as well...so the way to create warmth is colour and texture.
Look at places like West Elm for great accents that are easily coordinated thanks to their easy to match colour system. Think of underoos for grownup. ;0).
I've attached pictures of a similar look I did for clients. DB

This living room design allows us to forget the structure of the sofa while still providing a warm seating area with a view.
Fred Albert added this to The Case for In-Between ColorsAug 19, 2013
There's enough black in this brown (Benjamin Moore's Silhouette) to make it feel totally fresh. And what a great backdrop for the chartreuse accents!
