Bonboni Interior Design

There’s nothing I love more than a good before-and-after (swipe!). This living room went from a blank slate to a bold, sophisticated space full of character.

A stunning painting by local artist Anne Molasky was center to the design, now framed by custom arched built-ins I designed (and expertly built by ) that add depth and balance while cleverly hiding an awkward bump-out remaining from a long-ago fireplace. We leaned into moody blues and greens to complement the art, with a merlot velvet sofa bringing a rich pop of color.

Designed for both cozy movie nights and entertaining, this room is now as functional as it is beautiful. And believe it or not, this room is for a family with young kids, so all of the furniture is kid-friendly and incredibly durable. What’s your favorite detail?
