Family room library - large contemporary open concept medium tone wood floor and brown floor family room library idea in Nashville with gray walls

A few rare vintage 1950s pieces here along with a custom bone inlay starburst table, hand silk-screened draperies, and sofas designed by Melina Copass & Preston Sharp. Due to the challenging long and narrow shape of this room, custom designed sofas, especially a Tete-a-Tete style, were needed to create combination seating for around the fireplace and the adjacent TV wall.

“People tend to want to place their sofas right against the wall,” Lovett says. “I always try to float the sofa a bit and give the sofa some breathing room. Here, we didn’t have floor outlets or any eye-level lighting. Incorporating table lamps allows for mood lighting and ambiance. We placed a console behind the sofa to bring in large-scale lamps, which also helped fill in the negative space between the sofa and the bottom of the windows.” Photography: Amy Bartlam

Living room - transitional formal medium tone wood floor living room idea in New York with white walls

Photo Credit: Sign On San Diego. The fireplace is original with its kidney-bean shape and Jerusalem stone surrounds. The glass rocks were added by the current homeowners to create a modern look.

A modern design with classic details, the Cade sofa lets you lounge with a refined look. The deep seat invites relaxation while stainless steel legs give the sofa a modern look you'll love. Attached arm cushions stay neat while adding an additional layer of comfort.

The media room features a wool sectional and a pair of vintage Milo Baughman armchairs reupholstered in a snappy green velvet. All upholstered items were made with natural latex cushions wrapped in organic wool in order to eliminate harmful chemicals for our eco and health conscious clients (who were passionate about green interior design). An oversized table functions as a desk or a serving table when our clients entertain large parties. Thomas Kuoh Photography

To eliminate an inconsistent layout, we removed the wall dividing the dining room from the living room and added a polished brass and ebonized wood handrail to create a sweeping view into the living room. A blue velvet tufted sofa, crosshair hide stools from Wisteria, and a coffee table from HD Buttercup create a comfortable seating area.
