As you step into the Carter's living room, the first thing that catches your eye is the seating area with opulent emerald green sofas. These statement pieces blend sophistication and comfort effortlessly, providing a cozy retreat for the family to unwind. The rich jewel-tone upholstery adds depth and character to the space while complementing the surrounding elements.

A set of vibrant Louis-style chairs infuse the space with an element of playfulness. These eye-catching pieces inject a burst of color and whimsy into the room, creating a delightful contrast against the green sofas. Each chair showcases a unique fabric pattern, ranging from bold florals to abstract geometrics, reflecting Phylea Carter's fearless approach to design.

Suspended from the ceiling, an exquisite black African-inspired chandelier serves as the centerpiece of the common area. Handcrafted with intricate wooden pieces and adorned with tribal motifs, this striking lighting fixture adds an air of cultural intrigue to the space. Casting soft ambient light, it creates an inviting ambiance for family gatherings and intimate conversations.

No space is complete without art. Phylea selected oversized abstract gold artwork to adorn the walls of her home. The commanding piece serves as a focal point, captivating the attention of anyone who enters the space. The juxtaposition of the grand-scale golden frame against the vibrant hues of the furniture and walls creates captivating visual interest.

To ground the vibrant color palette and tie the room together, Phylea opted for a bold black and white rug. This monochromatic piece

with intricate patterns brings an eclectic spark and structure to the space. The contrasting colors serve as a foundation for the other design elements, allowing them to shine while maintaining harmony and balance.

Passionately crafting a home that seamlessly blends style and functionality was a labor of love Phylea did for her family. She has created an oasis of elegance and comfort for her family. Her fearless approach to design showcases the power of embracing unique and bold choices, resulting in a home that reflects her distinctive taste and inspires others seeking to embark on their own design adventures.
