Welcome to a journey through a living room that seamlessly combines classic style with modern touches. In collaboration with Beige Interior, we have created a transitional space that exudes elegance and comfort. Join us as we explore the unique design elements and clever use of lighting that make this living room truly special.
The Vision: Creating Cozy Spaces
In this large living room, our goal was to create distinct areas that cater to various occasions. Dividing the space into two sitting areas allowed us to strike a balance between casual relaxation and functional storage. The first sitting area, designed for watching TV and unwinding, features a built-in bookshelf and hidden storage options. To ensure a seamless integration, special metal construction was used to securely hang the TV amidst the storage units.

Illuminating the Space: Layers of Light
Lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing the ambiance of any room. In this transitional style living room, we employed three layers of lighting to create drama and functionality. Accent lights in the built-in bookcase and spotlights above the wall behind the sofa add a touch of brilliance. These lighting fixtures not only highlight the decor but also provide a soothing atmosphere.
Color Palettes: Unifying Spaces with Hues
Consistency in color palettes is key to maintaining a harmonious flow throughout the living room. While the dominance of lighter hues creates a sense of spaciousness in the TV area, darker accents, like the black lines on the sofa's armrest, add a touch of sophistication. The fireplace area, on the other hand, showcases a striking contrast between light and dark tones, creating a captivating focal point.

Design Details: Striking a Balance
The fireplace area serves as an elegant space for more formal gatherings. The centerpiece, the book-matched marble fireplace, steals the show with its exquisite beauty. The brass details on the ceiling perfectly complement the marble, creating a captivating visual contrast. By carefully selecting different materials and colors for each seating area, we achieved a seamless transition between formal and casual spaces.
Furniture: Classic Lines with a Modern Twist
The furniture pieces in this living room perfectly embody the transitional style. Combining classic lines with a modern color palette and textures, they effortlessly blend the old and the new. In the TV area, we used materials primarily composed of cotton, while leather and microfiber fabrics were reserved for the fireplace area, lending it a more formal feel.
Dining Area: The Perfect Gathering Space
No living room is complete without a dedicated dining area. Our clients wanted a space that would allow them to entertain and dine with their guests. The leather dining chairs, paired with a mid-century modern bubble chandelier, create an inviting atmosphere around the expansive marble dining table. This transitional living room effortlessly combines comfort and style, ensuring memorable dining experiences.
