An elegant living room successfully combines the beauty of antique furnishings with the comfort of more modern pieces.

Why We Love It
This living room, featured in Southern Accents, speaks so fluently of its New Orleans location. The creamy silk draperies, the wedding cake chandelier, and the gilt mirror
epitomize the classic beauty and charm of the city.

What Makes It Work
A restrained palette keeps the room from becoming fussy. Generously sized upholstered chairs, mixed with more traditionally
French forms, keep modern ideas of comfort at the forefront.

Steal This Idea
Cover a collection of mismatched antique chairs with a fine fabric in a humble print, like a gingham check, to create a fresh,
sophisticated look.
