When designing this living room for a cherished client, our vision centered around creating a space that would stand the test of time — not just in style, but in the memories made here. This generously-scaled room, with its soaring ceilings and beautiful natural light, offered a wonderful starting point. Our goal was to take that expansive footprint and make it feel warm, welcoming, and effortlessly livable.
We intentionally broke the space into distinct yet connected zones — a comfortable seating area anchored around the fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings; a sun-drenched conversation nook ideal for morning coffee or afternoon reading, with a generous table surface for games and puzzles. We created a secondary seating area, for smaller groups, as well. By layering these zones, the room feels intimate rather than overwhelming, ensuring every corner has a purpose.
Comfort was key in our furniture selection. We chose plush sofas, classic armchairs, and thoughtfully scaled tables to encourage lingering. Everything invites you to sink in, put your feet up, and stay a while. The soft, neutral palette and rich textures echo the natural beauty just outside the windows, blurring the line between indoors and out.
At A Nested Home, we believe that the best homes aren’t just beautiful — they’re designed for real life. This room is a perfect example: a space built to host laughter, quiet conversations, and countless gatherings for years to come.
