LIVING ROOM, Harrison, NY: In this family room a squared double layer light fixture centers the furniture layout. The homeowners have a European, modern sensibility, therefore the furnishings have sleek lines with fabrics that add interest and texture. The goal was to design a space where the family would spend most of their evenings. This meant that each seating needed to have lounging capability. Both the wood-armed reclining chairs and the ivory leather sofa have hidden leg rests, while the sofa has three individual head rests that are battery operated with the push of a button along with the three footrests. The crisp look of the sofa’s leather is countered by the pair of blackened round wood side tables that show the wood’s grain detail. The round shagreen cocktail with polished frame adds interest. Two custom millwork units, one at the front of the room and one on the side wall were designed for the TV and books which help keep the family room’s look crisp and orderly. A pair of black metalized chunky table lamps flank abstract artwork that sits on a dynamic stone countertop. Warm rust accents pull the space together. The design resulted in a movie-night-ready family space that is as stylish as it is comfortable.
