Shortly after moving into their new home, Nikki Conyers Williams and her husband realized that their large open living room needed a change.
Before
Using plum sofas as the inspiration for the color scheme of the room, Nikki created a more contemporary space by adding gray accents, painting and tiling the arch above the fireplace.
After
After the major projects were completed, Nikki finished her home decorating project by adding drapes, throw pillows and a rug at the center of the room for a total cost of $950. Here is a breakdown of her budget for the living room makeover:
Paint (Home Depot): $425
Tile for fireplace arch (Floor & Decor): $200
Rug (Garden Ridge): $99
Drapery (fabricguru.com): $160
Throw pillows (Burlington & Etsy.com): $40
Coffee table flowers (Garden Ridge): $5
Silver decor pieces (Ross): $20

Great Job Nikki!
I just love the redesign by Nikki Williams! How lovely is the decor and how much thought was put into blending this room together with the high ceilings. The drapery is gorgeous and how it highlights the grey in the room. Kudos to you Nikki Conyers-Williams!
