The designer, Jarlath Mellett, also used striking silhouettes against light backgrounds, like these dark armchairs and floor lamp against soft white drapes.
The more formal parlor living room — on the same floor as the den — is Mellett's favorite room in the house. "I loved playing with a narrow and interesting space," he says. "We managed to create different seating areas and open the space up in a way that is both functional and elegant."
