What Houzz contributors are saying:
1. Drawing the Eye DownDesigner Tani Nielsen needed to design something that would address the height of the living room and fit in with the style of the home. Because of the room’s two-story height, there was already a lot of sheetrock on the walls. Using beautiful millwork draws the eye and adds something different. The hearth is soapstone, and the fireplace surround is a ledgestone tile in a stacked layout.MoreKey Measurements for Designing the Perfect Living RoomHow to Design and Lay Out a Small Living Room
4. White and Gray Walls + Gray Furnishings and AccentsHere’s another classic look; this one’s good for rooms with lots of natural light. Light gray walls with white trim and white millwork will help brighten the space even more, while furnishings in varying gray tones will ground the room and give it a casual yet polished air.
Nielsen needed to design something that would address the height of the space and fit in with the style of the home. Because of the room’s two-story height, there was already a lot of Sheetrock on the walls. Using beautiful millwork draws the eye and adds something different. The panel profile on the new millwork is also seen in the kitchen, and the proportions of the boxes work well with the verticality of the rectangular windows in the room. The carpenters delivered it all in one piece. The old fireplace felt very flat. On the new one, the lower portion of the surround projects about 6 inches from the wall, which gives the fireplace dimension and a stronger presence. The hearth is soapstone, and the stone surround is a ledgestone tile in a stacked layout.
