This gorgeous sideboard in my client's new design is located on the other end of the living room across from the fireplace and bookcases. The chinoiserie balances the blue and white from one end of the room to the other, along with her Japanese garden stool. We also worked in her love of traditional French country, with her lamps, pillows and other décor. The colorful artwork continues her love of lemon yellow throughout the room while giving the room a fresh modern look and appeal.

While we gathered most of her Chinoiserie collection on the bookcase, we continued the look around her room, including this chinoiserie pot here holding an orchid, which we placed on her gorgeous new Hooker Furniture Sorella sideboard that we added into the room from Perigold.

This chair is the unexpected pop of color and pattern and energy in the room. Otherwise the room would look so lackluster that you might fall asleep in it, which might be nice sometimes, but not all the time. The chair pattern awakens the eye and the round compass pillow is the perfect offset shape to the square design of the chair and the strong diagonal pattern. The pillow softens the chair and has a touch of whimsy reminding you that you've entered a coastal fun zone. I've also added what designers call "a little dirty". It's a trade secret that you always add something that's not shiny and perfect, in order to make the room feel grounded and believable. In this design, I added the sea grass poufs that you see on the other side of the coffee table to give the room more texture and depth. The natural elements anchor us into the feeling of sea grass and island living. BONUS FACTOR: The poufs serve as extra seating at a party, as an ottoman for the chair and as a serving space when needed as an extra table to put a drink or plate on.

Plants and greenery are important in every room. They symbolize life and balance and anchor the room. The mirror above the plant serves several purposes, it helps reflect light around the room, by day with sunlight streaming through the doors, and at night by reflecting the glow of light from the lamps on the other side of the room. The mirror in white washed and wood continues the rustic/aged look. The intention of this design is to say: this coastal home has been loved and shared for generations here on the coast, making one forget that they've just walked into an apartment. Intuitively, this gives my client the feeling of being "settled and secure", helping her not feel as uneasy as one does when they move to a new home.

Artwork is key for this style of room. Go back and look at picture number one to see the beautiful seascape art over the sofa to see how it captures the mood and how the colors play perfectly with the sofa and room. The sand dollar art by the chair is in a deeper blue, anchoring the room, so that it doesn't lose vibrancy. Decorating the entire room in soft pastels would be wrong, as it would become dull and lifeless. The navy blue draws the eye into the room and I've used pillows in various shades of blue to continue these colors across the room. I've also included an orange throw on the sofa to add a pop of color and it connects this room to the dining area that you'll see next with a bar cart that continues the orange colors throughout the space.

BEFORE PHOTO: Sometimes you get used to a room and don't even realize how much of an impact the old decor is affecting your mood. The old paper was dismal and while it was a light color, it didn't do anything to bring life or excitement to the room. The yellow hue created a sallow look that felt depressing and low energy.

The media console is filled with items of the owner's that she already had. We added a bit of metallic gold with the star there and a pop of blue with the pineapple. The white tray with gold handles on the coffee table continues the metallic sheen, which is a must to add right now to be on trend. Silver Koi fish swim in the tray on the coffee table for an unexpected surprise. These items are all fun and also inexpensive, so they can be changed easily in the future for a new trendy look without a lot of expense. I asked the owner to select some coffee table books for her tray that reflect her mood and energy to bring this into the room. What's her mood? It says right there on the covers, what she wanted this room to look and feel like --- Relaxed Coastal Style and Island Whimsy. I think we nailed it. :)
