Use Shelving Units in Lieu of Built-Ins

Drew and Jonathan created storage opportunities in this split-level home by flanking the vintage fireplace with a pair of industrial-inflected units that display and conceal without adding visual weight. As an alternative to custom cabinetry around the hearth, they’re a budget-minded homeowner’s dream.

Combine Two Coffee Tables

A massive sectional like this one would swallow a standard coffee table whole. In turn, pairing it with a single, oversized piece that matched its scale, would limit the room’s versatility. That’s where these rich wood and oxidized-iron beauties come in: Against one another, they form a square surface large enough to accommodate a low-key meal. Split and rearranged elsewhere, they can also function as occasional tables.

Divide the Room With a Sectional Chaise

By configuring a sofa, two center sections and an armless chaise to create the world’s coziest U, the Scotts created a living room that feels distinct but not closed off from the kitchen beside it. A thoughtful color story supports that move: deep indigo that carries through the sectional’s throws, the area rug and the Roman shades pulls the space together.
