To promote a feeling of unity between the courtyard and the living room, interior designer Linda Woodrum chose a neutral, controlled palette. Furnishings, though captivating, do not distract from the view.

To differentiate living from dining room, walls are clad in poplar wood — a significant yet subtle detail. "It's the most important room in the house, but we have to do it in a really understated way," says Linda.

A polished chrome starburst sculpture from the C. Jeré studio pops against a weathered wood tabletop. "I like how it pulls the eye to the table — it's strong, shiny, unusual, bold, big and interesting," says Linda.

Refined, neutral furnishings gracefully pair with both rustic and industrial fixtures.
