A Persian rug was brought in to tie the room together and to make a connection with the red walls of the dining room (off camera) right across the entry hall from the living room. Red and orange silk throw pillows coordinate nicely with the rug and the yellow walls. The furniture is less of an eclectic mish-mash, and while elegant, it is very fresh and current. The furniture layout invites you into the room, and draws attention to one of the main architectural features of the home, the fireplace. The mantle accessories were minimized, as were the fireplace tools.
