Carved Wood Accent Chest Relief Carving Vertical Plank Wall

Editor's Note

Create a timeless vignette by grounding a room with a heavy, hand-carved storage chest or coffer. Symmetrical placement of oval-framed portraits and French-style side chairs adds a sense of formality and balance. To keep the look from feeling too heavy, incorporate vertical wall paneling and soft, warm lighting from a crystal chandelier to lift the eye.
