Putting a large and very dominant picture over the off centre fireplace helped to make it feel less awkward and more centered. The teracotta shades in the sofa set and rich wood tables tone with the magnolia space and add warmth. It also blends with the red bricks of the fireplace. The cast iron candelsticks provide a visual link to the dining room area. Distinct seating areas have been created showing the diverse possibilities of the space and incorporating the magnificent views.
