Hi there! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I turned in 3 different concepts on Friday, including this one for a 2 story living room. 2 story living rooms can be a challenge as the goal is to create an intimate feeling in a very open space. Here's my tips for doing just that.
1. Think Big- The breadth of wide stripes on 2 story drapes, large furniture, chunky lamps suit the scale of the big space.
2. Seating Groups -Instead of using an obvious over scale sectional, break up the space into more easy digestible seating groups for a more elegant, multi purpose look. Consider using 2 area rugs as I did here.
3. Eliminate Knick Knacks- Even if they are cute, they get lost and just look like clutter in a room this scale. The only exception is when they are used in a collection of similar objects.That's all! I hope those tips help!
ALSO, I'm guest posting today on Tonia's blog. If you're not already reading it, you're missing out...Tonia always offers glimpses of her fabulous fashion and home finds!

one of my pet peeves is when people put whispey little furniture pieces in a sweeping space. If you have all that beautiful open space, USE IT!! Great tips!
