When I entered this once empty elegant living room I found the fireplace and it’s amazing mantel very imposing. What I mean is….as beautiful as the majestic fireplace was, it was overwhelming the space partly because of it’s size. The best way to downplay a wonderful feature like this without losing it’s importance is to add a little drama.
From the foyer you can see the measurable size of the mantel
In a nearby tree I found the exact amount of drama I was looking for. Why drama you ask? By adding some worthy drama I downplayed the size of this magnificent fireplace but didn’t take away it’s relevance. Now buyers can take in the windows, custom cabinets and molding, hardwoods and last but never least the chandelier too!
A little drama can sometimes go a long way
And now the ‘big picture’…….
The end result was a living room that displayed all of it's beauty!!!
Presto, a buyer can now love it all.
