This just shows how color pulls a room together. My client had the furniture and accessories, most were given to her by her mother, with some antiques. The existing color (mauve below) didn't make these pieces pop. I choose Ben Moore's Falcon Brown knowing that it would really compliment all these existing pieces of gold and dark wood. The upholstered furniture were light in color with a hint of brown. It really worked well with them. Below is a the new brown room with a before shot below.
The dark color brings out the gold accents. Keeping the background monochromatic, with the walls and window treatments, helps to highlight the different pieces in the room.
A few family pictures personalize the space with different frames of gold
