Family: Have vaulted ceilings? Exposed beams/brick, ANY of the above? Don’t be afraid to use these elements to create a comfortable BOHO vibe. If your ceilings are lofty? Make sure to exploit them with light fixtures that fit the scale of your space.
Living: Classic, bright & clean! A formal Living Room space does not have to be stuffy. Lighten your walls & pull bold colors into your windows and furnishings. Do you lack a lot of natural light in your space? Keep your walls light and consider additional recessed lighting in the ceiling to make up for it.
