This contemporary living room takes its cue from the landscape. Floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains soften the sunlight, and the tall arched windows behind them frame a forest and distant mountains, so the room opens onto the landscape while the cream-panelled walls keep it calm. On the herringbone floor, the
Cell rug spreads out as a wide rectangle of rounded cream cells, each outlined by a channel of golden ochre, like pebbles set in honey. It is the largest area of pattern in the room and the one that sets the palette for everything above it.
A curved sectional sofa in deep amber, its back gathered into soft ruches and its arms rounded, echoes the outlines of the cells beneath it. The amber lifts the golden lines of the pattern to seat height, while the cream cells match the walls and curtains, so the sofa never competes with the rug. It borrows its gold and leaves the cream to do the rest. Behind it, a dark veined console carries candles and white vases beneath an abstract canvas in cream and taupe that brings the same organic softness onto the wall.
A bookcase in warm wood tones, with dark dividers and lit shelves, stands to the left, and a tall plant with broad leaves fills the right-hand corner, carrying the green of the view indoors. A reference for nature-inspired interiors in mountain retreats, private residences and boutique hotels that want a living room organised around one generous, graphic foundation.
