This apartment clubhouse had high ceilings, dated furnishings, and scattered furniture placement. A Custom sofa and club chairs were gathered around a boldly striped area rug in front of the fireplace, creating a cozy and colorful destination. The addition of moulding to the bottom edge of the existing mantel brought the fireplace into proper balance with the size of the room. Dark tones in the tables and club chairs are echoed in accessories and a single dark stripe in the rug, drawing the eye down to the seating area and away from the extreme height of the vaulted ceiling. The play of curved shapes against straight lines give the room movement and energy.
