In this living room, the furniture's muted tones help direct attention to the dynamic artwork. One side wall becomes a colorful gallery; there's even a bench from which to enjoy the display. A tall sculpture is a strong presence from the corner of the room. And a large painting over the sofa is specially illuminated.

Designers used a tall but airy shelf and two small-scale chairs to divide this large room into two distinct areas.

Layers of compelling textiles set this living room apart. The dark gray sofa becomes a blank canvas of sorts on top of which the designers have layered pillows in a wide range of patterns. Vibrant artwork on the wall above draws the eye up.

The bay window in this living room is turned into a lovely area to sit and read, do art or other projects. A small round table fits easily into the space. Rounded back chairs follow the windows' curve and are easy to walk around.
