FUNCTIONAL & FUN

 Commercial Interior Design doesn't have to be bland and a Church's Youth Center doesn't have to look childish.   This delightful meeting space remains youthful while embracing the lovely sophisticated charm of the building's 19th Century interior.


Here a light filled, turreted and charming space becomes a functional place for people to gather.   Ultrasuede is a durable fabric choice for the cozy wing chairs, alternating the Navy Blue and Sunny Yellow to keep the small space interesting. Pulling the color theme together is a plaid outdoor fabric (tough and cleanable) on the wicker ottoman.

 
BEFORE

Overall the use of color blocking echos the stunning vintage stained glass windows, while fancifully shaped pillows remind us that the space is for the young... or the young at heart!! 
 



 
[Nothing like a before and after photograph to sum up the dramatic change the design process brings to a space.]
