6. Creative Corner
Rose & Lily Interiors took a similar approach with this Atlanta living room by playing up the corner fireplace. White painted paneling, a black floating mantel, a black surround and dark artwork draw attention to the fireplace, while a less-assuming TV and console provide a secondary focus.

4. Colorful Craftsman
Color energizes the sitting room of this 1930 American Foursquare home in Pittsburgh. Green paint on the fireplace wall (Yeabridge Green by Farrow & Ball) coordinates with the Craftsman-inspired wallpaper, which picks up other hues in the space.
Andy Weier and Patrick Rakszawski of Rockledge Design + Architecture restored much of the room’s original character, including opening the original chimney column and installing an antique mantel, and added new features like floating shelves and built-in storage. They also sourced period-appropriate furniture to create a cozy, inviting and cohesive space.
