Transitional Modern Living Room

My Living Room

Yes

Open to both

Yes, Wood, Area Rugs

- Media Wall: Would like a white media center to hold 65” TV, books and artifacts. While the Built in bookcase picture we included contains a built-in media, we don’t know if that will be too expensive. We are open to having a TV media/bookcase combination, as long as the scale is appropriate for the large room.

- We like to have books in the room. Maybe there is place to have shelves and a small reading bench

- We would like to bring some elements of fun/interest to the room. Some ideas that we were thinking of:
Hanging Chair: Would love to have a hanging chair in the room
Color: We would like pops of color
Something with architectural interest

- Child: We have an eighteen-month old boy. The room has to be kid friendly.

- Seating: We would like an arrangement that gives a good amount of seating, and it is inviting. We were thinking of an L Shaped section, but we had a hard time finding it. The closest we came was a sectional at Crate&Barrel - A xis II. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/axis-ii-3-piece-sectional-sofa/s482743
We really liked the color Nickel and the material, but 1) we found the seating too deep at 43’’ and 2) we were worried that this sectional will look too bulky in the room. We found generally that seating depths in the range 36’’-40’’ worked best for us, but of course it depends on the pillows.

- Fireplace: We will be selecting this beige tile

It will be from floor to ceiling. We are required to select a hearth stone that will be 60” wide and 14” deep. We are thinking of selecting this black slate.

We need help selecting the mantle.

We thought about a simple distressed railroad tie rectangular block but are open to other ideas.
