You know the room: good bones, fresh paint, nothing wrong—and yet it feels like a rental you just moved into. That was the “before.” Bare windows, echoey acoustics, no focal point, a fully blank slate.
The brief: keep it rental-friendly, add warmth + personality, and make it a room you want to be in (not just walk through).
The Plan (VRSA Virtual Interior Design)
14-day turnaround to go from empty to fully livable—functional layout with durable core pieces that were readily available.
What Changed (and Why It Works)
1) Floor-to-ceiling sheers
Before: blinds + glare; the room felt heavy and a little harsh.
After: full-length drapery softens the light, kills echo, and pulls the eye up bringing instant height and calm.
2) A statement sofa
Before: lots of empty floor and no color
After: a rust velvet sofa anchors the space and brings saturated warmth against the cool envelope. A structured sofa keeps the space more formal.
3) Mixing patterns
Before: monotone floor + walls.
After: a check rug adds rhythm and defines the seating zone without being too loud. It also balances the marble coffee table’s visual weight.
4) Stone for contrast
Before: Lacking texture & contrast
After: a veined marble coffee table adds structure and that editorial “tension” the room lacked, bringing a beautiful new texture to the space
5) Wallpaper as art
Before: nothing to land your eye.
After: Sabyasachi Summer Rose wallpaper installed as accent 3 walls across the space — heritage luxury detail, renter-friendly execution with removable adhesive.
6) Layered styling
Before: blank.
After: trays, books, pillows, and mixed textiles create micro-moments; the space finally tells you who lives here with objects that reflect personality.
Net effect: warmer, quieter, taller, and unmistakably personal—without touching the bones or furnishings.
Steal This (3 Takeaways You Can Use Today)
-
Run drapery to the floor. It costs the same to buy the right length, and it makes rooms feel taller and calmer.
-
Add one high-contrast material. Stone, lacquer, or metal will sharpen a soft room.
-
Treat wallpaper like art. One accent wall = impact without committing to four walls. Wallpapering a TV wall is always an easy place to start!
