Black, Ivory and Gold Living Room with Upscale Furnishings

Location: Pottstown, PA

Designer Credits: Barbara Hayman

Project Overview:

Inspiration for the room came from the existing baby grand piano with its sleek shiny black finish. A stunning matte black wallpaper embossed with glossy damask was used as an accent wall and as a backdrop for the rest of the stunning makeover. The existing curved sofa was reupholstered in a luxurious, velvety, off white performance fabric and accented with black velvety welt for a striking new facelift and a luxe feel. The sofa is flanked by hand-forged iron tables in gold leaf, topped with clear beveled glass and exquisite lamps accented by champagne crystals.

New upholstered winged chairs and benches in off white fabric as well as a custom, tufted ottoman upholstered in a soft creamy hue provide adequate seating. Gorgeous custom drapery panels in a golden faux silk quatrefoil fabric and paired with gold and crystal drapery hardware, soften the room and add brilliance and rich color to the space. To add lighting to the room, we installed a brilliant chandelier with a silken champagne shade and dripping with golden crystals; while a bold, plush contemporary rug in deep black, ivory, and tan draws the eyes into the large room. Gold and crystal accents, as well as lavish art pieces, add to the look of welcoming opulence.
