Living Room

Refined Comfort, Rich in Character

A living room that embraces depth, texture, and timeless style — layered with warmth, curated details, and unforgettable color.

Moody living room mood board — deep olive walls, green velvet sofa, terracotta velvet chairs, leather recliner, brass chandelier

The Concept

A library-quiet living room that's anything but timid. Olive walls disappear into a built-in vignette of landscapes and brass; a green velvet sofa, terracotta chairs, and a leather wingback do the heavy lifting. Built for evenings.

Materials & Finishes

  • Limewash or matte olive on walls and built-ins
  • Velvet, leather, and washed linen mixed at every seat
  • Vintage Persian-style rug with a navy ground
  • Stacked stone fireplace with a reclaimed wood mantel
  • Antique brass library lighting and oil-rubbed bronze

Styling Notes

  1. 01Style built-ins in vignettes of three: art, vessel, stack of books.
  2. 02One leather piece per room grounds all the velvet.
  3. 03Hang the largest painting low over the mantel — eye-level when seated.
  4. 04Coffee table styling: a tray, a sculptural object, a candle, a stack.
  5. 05Lighting in fours — overhead, table, floor, sconce — all dimmable.
