Why This Works

Happy Friday and welcome to the series Why This Works... where I highlight a designed space and talk about why (I think) it's perfection. This cheerful living room space comes from House Beautiful and is designed by Jonathan Rosen. This space instantly brings a smile to my face, with its playful use of color and chic, whimsical furniture selections.

The natural, subtle rug and creamy white walls works great paired with the pops of pink and blue in the room's fabrics. The candlestick lamps have the same playful curves as the fun end chairs, making the space more cohesive and thoughtful. All of the white in the space, including the garden stool, curtain rods and walls allows the color in the accessories and fabrics to really shine! I love the way the designer decided to use the same fabric, but in two different colors, bringing the whole look together. The large traditional style coffee table and sofa looks more modern with all of the bright colors and fabrics in the space. Overall, this space works!
