Design Tip:
Adding lots of toss pillows in various
sizes, colours and textures will create a feeling of luxury and coziness
This light and airy home proves the point that if you start with a good mix of neutral basics, add in important elements of various textures and thoughtfully accessorize with either soft or bold colours, it is possible to create a comfortable chic home that stands the test of time. The expansive main floor plan consists of four distinct areas - a living room, a seating nook, a casual dining room and a large kitchen. The walls are painted off white with much of the furnishings including window treatments in shades of creamy white punctuated with tones of rich espresso in the cabinetry, select furniture and hardwood floors making all the areas work in harmony with each other. The generously sized living room is defined with an off-white rug. An oversized sectional is topped with a plush assortment of toss cushions along with two occasional chairs, and two cube style ottomans offering plenty of space to spread out relax and watch TV or entertain. Design Tip: If you cannot find a rug large enough for your space have one custom cut from a roll of carpet at a flooring shop.
ABOVE: The focal point of the room is the modern linear fireplace that is flanked to one side by a custom built credenza. The interior of the cabinet allows for plenty of space for hidden storage.
