Processes
  • Engineered wood flooring installation
    Light oak flooring continues across the living room and gives the olive chair a warm background.
    Entry needed
  • Wall painting
    Warm white walls keep the room quiet so the small olive chair reads as a calm accent.
    Entry needed
  • Recessed lighting installation
    Small recessed lights in the ceiling help maintain a bright, orderly living room tone.
    Entry needed
  • Sheer curtain installation
    Bright sheer curtains on the large window soften the light around the olive chair.
    Entry needed
  • Living room furniture layout
    The sofa, low table, and olive chair are spaced apart so the color accent and open space work together.
    Entry needed
  • Olive chair and accessory styling
    Olive tones are split between the window-side chair and the vase on the table, repeating the color in two places.
