Pretty Living Room Design

A vibrant turquoise-blue cotton rug and pillow liven up a sophisticated sitting area.
The high-gloss white mantel pops against a grey feature wall, painted one shade darker than the rest of the room to create depth. On-trend decorating touches, such as the zebra ottoman, vintage lamps with black shades and book-stuffed fireplace, add character.
See the rest of this quaint living room in the 2008 Makeovers Special Edition.
