I recently had a client who had very over-scaled furniture in their living room. In fact, the reason that they hired me to decorate the family room and finish up the rest of the house was because they had bought very expensive furniture that ended up being too big. But we weren’t going to replace this too big furniture, it was brand new, and they were just going to live with it.
The solution? We balanced out that really big furniture with an oversized coffee table and a really oversized mirror. All of a sudden that big furniture felt a little bit more balanced in the room. Even though it was still too big, it didn’t feel uncomfortable any more. So there are some tricks that you can do to cover up.
