Chocolate Brown Living Room with Gold

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
