The secret lies in getting the scale right and in grouping furniture. Rather than have large, oversized furniture in the living area to fill up the huge space, this homeowner of a mansion decided to use medium-sized furniture and arrange it in formal and casual groups. In doing this she created cosy, inviting and arresting seating groups.
Looking into the living area from the staircase gives you some idea of how large it actually is. The furniture grouping shown is the core area where most of the entertaining is done. The colour of the upholstery here are repeated in their different shades throughout the house.
