DESIGN CONCEPTS USED.

Match the Sofa to the Walls
The general colour used to paint the walls of the lounge space was grey and the furniture used was also grey. A grey rug brings texture and dimension without filling the small space with too much color.

Strike a Balance
This lounge space designed using three colours that were blended to bring out the perfect match. The primary colour being grey, the secondary being brown and the final being black.

Mix Patterns
For a small city apartment, Lisle McKenna employed soft, colorful shapes but didn't shy away from fun contrasting prints. She also opted for a settee by the timing dining table so that it could function as extra seating for guests or be a comfortable place to dine and catch up on emails.

Add Greenery
If you live in a city apartment, you probably crave nature every now and then. So why not bring it into your living room for a dose of greenery every day? We placed a bamboo bush beside the sofa for an extra pop of life and color.

Shrink Furniture
This simple lounge space incorporates a theme of texture, from the rug to the timber slats and the sofa. These casual materials make it feel breezy while still being fresh and stylish, and though all the furniture is smaller than your average living room stuff, it looks right at home here.
