Moroccan Blue Living Room

My client wanted to keep her main furniture pieces which were neutral, and add a little color. We went with blue and a little Moroccan pattern to add some excitement. There was a long wall of windows that we added curtains to. It allowed the light to filter through, but cut down the harshest rays.
