Midcentury Modern Exterior and Front Lawn

Neutral Modern Living Room With Bench

High ceilings give a loft-like, airy feel to this modern living room that features a serene white, gray and black palette. Touches of texture—a glass coffee table, a fur throw—add depth and visual interest to the sleek space.

Modern Neutral Open Plan Dining and Living Area

Pendant lights at different heights seem to spiral down, down, down to hover above the dining table. The entire far wall of the open concept space is windows, making the interior seem like the chic-est of treehouses.
