I wanted to share the living room space of this years Elle Decor Modern Life Concept House. This room was designed by Carrier and Company and showcases many clever space saving ideas.
Carrier and Company used pops of yellow much like that of the yellow forecast for 2011 in the Benjamin Color Trends seminar I attended. The yellow juxtaposed to the grey beige walls gives the room a fresh and modern look. Since the home is in NYC, the designers used bookcases to house book collections, storage and a cocktail bar. Multifunctional furniture is a must in small space interiors.
The view from this side of the room shows how a chaise lounge was used along with a table to create a multipurpose space. By using glass and mirror, the designers expand the visual space and create a energetic and practical living room. The arcing lamp over the table is the perfect choice in such a space.
