As with dining rooms, family rooms are often so filled with people and animals and other stuff that they're associated with anything but calm. I love this space, though, for its neutral colors and the combination of warm wood with quiet white walls. It's a great example of a living space that's both calm and full of character.

These stand up to the scale of the fireplace.

The Nakashima-esque coffee table brings the natural hippy vibe to this modern room.

This clean, neutral aesthetic recalls Don's office style.

Combining natural textures and organic shapes = Timeless.

Asymmetry and rich wood tones against a stark white backdrop offer a more masculine approach to minimalism. To pull this off as masterfully as seen here, one needs a seriously skilled craftsman. Have you ever seen how much work goes into a great stain job on exotic woods? Let's just say the geniuses that are master woodworkers have the patience of Mother Teresa and the detail-oriented mindset of Martha Stewart. (And, most likely, major arthritis.)

The original niche: the fireplace! We all know how beautiful a roaring fire can be, but don't neglect that fireplace when there isn't a flame burning; when it's not in use, style it up with neatly placed logs.

Wow interesting offset mantel....

Another very modern and streamlined way to 'do up' a fireplace. I really love this! It is sort of opposite what you usually see: the fireplace surround, instead of being blacked out, is whited out and blends with the white wall. Outlining what is usually the outside of the fireplace shape are these gorgeous slatted wood cladding (they could be tiles that look like wood; I can't tell). The white porcelain ceramics stand out beautifully on the mantle against the wood backdrop. I would add a really vibrant, bold rug with a colour that contrasts with the indigo blue of the chairs.
