Stage 1: Drab Sunroom

The chair has a stylish, versatile frame with a modest scale that's great for our room. Unfortunately, the off-white upholstery looks pallid, and the chairside table is painted a muddy brown that undermines its appealing curves. The rug is serviceable, but the sisal disappears into the floor with yet another dingy neutral. Window treatments are a primary element of this sunroom; there are 11 windows, so light control is important. While the mini-blinds are functional, they're dated and too hard-edged for a room that should be a comfortable sanctuary.
