Most, if not all, of the furniture was already in this room. Our goal was to find an arrangement that better suited the square footage without feeling too cramped. Because he has a large dresser to house most of his clothes, the closet could be converted to a reading nook. The addition of a rope ladder to reach the loft was a fun way to impress this young client. Mixing wood and metal furniture leans into the industrial look of this room, without feeling mismatched. The faux wainscot (adding a high chair rail and painting the lower portion of the wall) in blue added a huge impact without a lot of work. The paint color is a perfect transition color because it has both warm and cool undertones. The rich gray undertones give a velvety look and keep it from looking too bright.
