Working with an old home and a contemporary design aesthetic? Instead of demolishing period architecture, consider hanging on to it - for cozy’s sake. How old and new work together to create a sense of comfort?
We love old interiors, especially when using contemporary furnishings. We believe there’s some kind of nesting effect that occurs between a historic house and its modern interior.
This gorgeous living room is no exception. By keeping the existing millwork and paneling and then furnishing with contemporary pieces, this living room seems to almost acknowledge the history of the house and even finds comfort in it.
In this living room, she used eco-friendly furnishings, raw fibers and organic textiles. Creating a restorative environment begins with sustainable choices.
Even the smallest decisions matter and can have profound effects on our health and the environment. The homeowner’s treasured collection of mineral specimens in this space, which fits with my overall design mantra. Live with what you love. Surround yourself with beauty and positive energy.
Nothing says welcome like an oversized sectional sofa. It’s the perfect tool for creating an immediate sense of casual comfort.

We opted for an oversized upholstered ottoman with a soft silhouette that could easily be used. This ottoman packs a powerful design punch with a gorgeously soft performance fabric that coordinates with the tonal blue on the walls, art and other textiles in the space.

The use of natural wood in a living space not only acts as a decorative or functional feature, but it can provide balance by adding texture and warmth.
It has an organic element that reminds you of nature and brings a cozy, unfussy look and feel to a contemporary space.
I suggest installing large beams, plank walls or raw oak floors for major impact or a handmade wood table as an accent piece.
