    As with all decorating improvements, accessories make the room. Golden has chosen furnishings and textures that add color and continue the English cottage theme:

    • A tea table (figure A) instead of a typical coffee table

    • A chenille throw (figure B)

    • Decorative pillows (figure C).

    Golden incorporates several different prints and colors throughout the entire room, for instance with the sisal rug (figure D) and the decoupage dresser and chairs (figure E).

    The high ceilings of the room allow for oversized accessories such as the candleholders and the homeowners' oil painting on the mantel (figure F).

    The large-scale entertainment center adds height to the room (figure G).

    This once-bland family room is now a place of warmth and character in the vein of the most charming English cottages, a room any family would be proud to lounge in.
