An enormous rug becomes part of the artwork in this apartment's living and dining room. It binds the two areas together visually and its modern pattern fits right into the other paintings and sculptures.

New York City is as much a part of the decor in this apartment living room as the artwork or furnishings. Big windows with black trim are perfect frames for the skyline view.

Artwork in a wide range of styles (painting, photography, portraits, abstracts) infuses this living room with personality. Accessories bring the art's colors out into the space.

A melange of artwork makes this small living room feel intimate and helps soften the impact of the television. An oval-shaped coffee table is easy to walk around.
