Bright white walls pop against black-framed windows in this monochromatic family room. A large sectional sofa in gray provides seating for a crowd while the angular lines in the coffee table and floor lamp play off the geometric prints found on the rug and pillows.

A modern, Scandinavian floor lamp adds extra light to the space and brings an architectural accent to the room while black shades create contrast but still allow soft, diffused light into the room for a natural and airy feel.

The large, geometric coffee table feels fresh and provides ample space for Scandinavian-inspired accents including candles, books and a carved horse from a local Minneapolis shop. Layering a mix of accents in natural tones with black and white creates texture and movement in the seating area while still maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.

Tall ceilings, large windows, a midcentury-modern sectional sofa, and a black and white color palette transform the living room with a fresh, modern farmhouse feel.
