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.
Accessories - paintings and antiques - have been carefully co-ordinated with each of the furniture groupings and help give a distinct identity to each group. For example, the core grouping in the living area is distinctively oriental in flavour. Elsewhere, African tribal artifacts form a coffee-table grouping adjacent to a tribal wall-hanging. In another group it is a shell collection which forms the focal point.
