Welcome to the series Why This Works… where I highlight a designed space and talk about why (I think) it works so well. This week’s space is Hilary Swank’s living room and was seen in Elle Decor. The space was designed by Mark Zeff.
This space has a modern, casual vibe that I love! The cool colors on the wall, pillows and dining chairs works well paired with the greenery in the room. The dark wood floors are elegant and allow the neutral rug to really pop. The dramatic lamp shades on the floor lamps give a modern, sleek and industral feel, while the drapery and plants warm up the space. There is a great balance of light and dark neutrals in this space, allowing your eye to really move around the room. The tall ceilings and oversized windows allow the natural light in, giving you an amazing view! The side and coffee tables are versatile and can easily be moved in a different spot, to allow more flow when entertaining. Overall, this space works! And lately, I have been featuring more rooms with lighter walls- could this be the direction I am going?
What are your thoughts on this space?

And since today is also the Fashion Friday series, I wanted to show you an outfit I put together for a recent blog challenge. Anna, from her blog A Newfound Treasure posed the challenge on her blog to design an outfit around this skirt:
