EVELYN’S DESIGN TIPS 1 This sofa inspired a “dark glamour” style with a rock ‘n’ roll vibe for this family room design board. 2 A mix of patterns and textural materials like velvet, antique brass and leather, creates a moody, luxurious feel. 3 Baskets for easy storage are a must. The graphic pattern and contrast make this one the perfect choice for this room. 4 5 A Persian rug grounds the space with bold pattern and color, perfectly paired with furniture in strong color and shape. A bold, patterned wallpaper makes a dramatic statement on a feature wall. ULTIMATE ENTERTAINER Adding a pretty bar cart with decorative glassware makes entertaining a breeze. A few trays are also great, allowing you to rest glasses on the ottoman or move beverages and snacks around the room with ease.
