Mansi's Detroit Apartment

Today we heard from a devoted Detroit reader, Mansi:
Apartment Therapy has been a great inspiration for me to decorate my apartment...here are some images of my apartment living room. So, thank you for bringing out the creative home decorator in me:

Thanks, Mansi!

Mansi -

You have great elements, but your arrangement needs some help: Can you back that sofa up so that it's side isn't into the fireplace? Just center the rug on the fireplace and put the front legs of the sofa on it...
...then a couple of swivel chairs would be perfect opposite the sofa

I think your TV wall would look super if you continued with your great orange color there too.

Good Luck!

Good to see a Detroit place on here. And even better that it looks so great!

Nice job Mansi!

What a super start. Love your sofa. Is it Metro from Norwalk?

Hoooray for Detroit and for your swank pad! I'd love to know where in the city you live but can understand if you don't feel comfortable sharing that.

Looks great.

How did you get the wires in the wall behind the TV? And what is below the TV?

I am looking to do something similar - TV on the wall with some sort of console below. I need to figure out the wiring first though

Good Job!

That's a lovely shade of orange! And I really like the pillows on the couch as well!

I'm glad Mansi feels comfortable sharing her home on AT, which I really like. I thought about sending in some photos of an upholstered chair I had repaired, but folks on here can be so snarky, I decided to pass.

i really like the use of color in the space and the repeating circles...i just feel the art above the fireplace, the TV and the clock are much too high on the wall...
