This stunning, high-ceilinged living room embraces symmetry with pairs of everything—two plush sofas, two marble-topped coffee tables, and two elegant yellow and cream velvet chairs. A textured rug made of Flor tiles grounds the space, while custom-made curtains cascade dramatically from the two-story height, softening and elevating the overall aesthetic. The result? A light, bright, and modern haven.

Designing an open floor plan that includes a two-story family room can seem daunting. Impressive as they are, such spaces need to feel cozy and comfortable without sacrificing visual impact.

For this project, we achieved the perfect balance through thoughtful space planning and layering various textures and materials. From the rich velvet of the seating to the sleek surfaces of the coffee tables, every detail was carefully chosen to enhance the room's atmosphere.

A highlight of the room’s transformation is the two-story drapery, which not only adds drama but also completes the design, creating a cohesive and inviting space.

When styling bookshelves, we recommend choosing a theme that aligns with your overall design—don't forget to add personal touches and a splash of greenery to breathe life into the arrangement!

For an added touch of sophistication, we introduced a luxurious two-tone armchair featuring gold velvet and soft cream fabric. This timeless piece offers a perfect blend of style and comfort, making it an elegant addition to any room.
