This design calls for bright white walls and ceiling. The hardwood floors are perfect in
color. I recommend removal of existing window treatments for a clean look that does not
interfere with the views. If privacy is an issue, I would recommend simple modern shades
to be as minimal as possible.

KITCHEN
1
Anchor your living room with a
modern area rug. This
provides a contrasting base for
the white furnishings. The
color, texture and pattern works
well with the glass and steel
accents.
3
2
A modern white leather sectional
makes a bold statement but still
allows the exterior views and
artwork to take center stage. A
sectional works well in the space
creating a good conversation /
seating area that is directed
toward the view and away from
the kitchen.
4
This glass and steel
coffee table anchors
the conversation area
of the room. Since the
table is large, using
glass does not add
weight to the room.
COFFEE TABLE
ACCESSORY SUGGESTIONS
Add a modern
throw to the couch
seating to provide
a shot of color and
add softness.
A large arching floor
lamp provides
ambience and a task
light for the end of the
sectional. Its form adds
a sculptural element to
the living space.

DESIGN CONCEPT
CONSOLE TABLE ACCESSORY
SUGGESTIONS

5
Choose a modern
shaped lamp in a
statement color for
the console table
behind the sectional.
Add a long narrow
console table behind the
sectional. This provides
an area for lighting and
accessory objects of
interest. Since the table is
not very visible I chose a
simple design.
Add a sculptural art piece for
interest behind the sectional.
END TABLE ACCESSORY SUGGESTIONS
7
This glass nesting table at
the end of the sectional is
so light and airy, it does
not add heaviness to the
room but provides a spot
for a task lamp and some
small accessories such as
the succulent plant, a
candle, or a book.
8
Select a small, simple
task lamp for the end
table. You could use a
second matching one on
the #10 table below also if
you wanted task lighting
by the chair.
11
9
Modern and
comfortable, this
great shaped
chair makes a
statement, It
also breaks up
the height plane
of the other
furnishings by
adding a taller
furniture piece.
10
I chose this
smaller table
because it is a
different material
than the other
tables and has an
elegant shape.
Perfect with the
chair.
I chose a large tree with big
leaves for drama. Great in the
corner, bringing some of the
nature outside into the space.
Select a modern, large
container. The style and
graphite color of the container
below compliments the
furniture and the rug.
1
DESIGN CONCEPT
12
I continue the design flow from the living room by adding the glass and
metal dining table in your second space.
DINING TABLE ACCESSORY
SUGGESTIONS
Groupings of
candles at
several different
heights. I would
recommend 5-7
candles for an
impactful
centerpiece
statement
depending on
their size.
13
18
Armless white leather
chairs for the dining
table.
Another large art piece for the wall between
the dining room and living room. Make sure
the art in the room is complimentary.
14
Large modern art
for above the buffet
is critical to add
color to your space.
17
Simple sconces on
either side of the art
add ambience and
completion to that
wall.
15
This wood
buffet is the
perfect mix
with the glass,
metal and
white leather.
It adds warm
tones and
interest.
Because the
wood is lighter
in color it does
not dominate
the area.
16
SIDEBOARD ACCESSORY
SUGGESTIONS
I used two white leather chairs
that compliment the dining
chairs, but are different in style,
placed on either side of the
buffet under the sconces. You
could also use two of these as
end chairs to the dining room
table with the armless chairs #13
as the side chars.

CONSOLE TABLE ACCESSORY
SUGGESTIONS
8
I recommend a console
for behind the sofa that
has more substance,
such as this cabinet
piece. It can provide
storage for the dining
room and it conceals the
back of the couch from
view.
This makes a
great end table
by the sofa. I
like the cubist
shape. Books
can be neatly
stacked in the
lower area if you
like that look or it
can be left plain
below. Just
remember, no
clutter.
A small bowl, plate, book or
coasters could add some
interest to the end table.
Whatever you choose it
should be simple and not too
large.
Choose a simple
modern shaped
lamp. Since this is
not a primary lamp in
the space I would
advise you to keep
the design simple so
it does not take away
from the lamp on the
console peice behind
the couch - #8.
Choose a taller end table
at the end of the sofa so
that the table can be seen
as you enter the room and
the lighting sits a little
higher to illuminate the
end of the couch and spill
light to the chair.
9
END TABLE ACCESSORY SUGGESTIONS
Select a statement lamp for
the console cabinet. This
lamp is right in the middle of
the room so it is very visible,
therefore, I chose something
sculptural with beautiful
materials.
12
10
A smaller interesting
lamp on the end
table adds ambient
illumination to that
end of the sofa. I
think it is interesting
to add the natural
finished ceramic
material in a soft
color for interest
without competing
with other elements
in the room.
A perfect example of a handcrafted
art piece for on top of the console.
It could pull in some of the color
from your artwork
Above the sofa by the wall select one large horizontal canvas or two
large canvases as demonstrated in concept one.
2
DESIGN CONCEPT
13
14
This oval shaped dining table comfortably seats eight people. I
like something light and simple so not to compete with the
beautiful chairs.
Select graphic art for the
wall between the living
and dining/kitchen area.
You can choose one
large vertical canvas or a
grouping of two as I have
shown to the right.
18
SIDEBOARD
ACCESSORY
SUGGESTION
This is another
statement lighting
piece in the space.
Select something with
interest that plays off
the materials going on
in the space.
16
A simple pendant
above the table
offers interest and
illumination without
competing with or
obstructing the
views to the outside
from the kitchen.
15
A modern dining end chair
with arms works well on the
ends of the oval table.
15 &19
An armless side chair is my recommendation for
around the sides of the dinner table and also to
replace the white chairs at your kitchen counter
seating. These extra chairs can pull in nicely to the
dinner table when you need them.
17
This sideboard/buffet table compliments the the console cabinet
behind the couch. I kept this simple and open as it is in front of the
glass and I did not want it to have the same weight of the console
cabinet.
