The Fairview sitting room. Stacked stone, velvet swivels, antiqued brass, and a room built for conversation, a drink, and a fire.
Velvet on the chairs, brass on the table and the bar cabinet, oak underfoot and across the mantel.
The velvet has enough sheen to catch the firelight, and the brass is antiqued so it doesn't shine back. The box beams overhead are painted the same charcoal as the chairs, which ties the ceiling to the seating.
The chairs turn, so they face each other or the fire.
Close enough to feel it either way.
The brass coffee table sits in the middle because that's where everyone reaches. The bar cabinet is round and black, in the corner behind the chairs, and a big black abstract hangs on the wall behind the grouping.
The fire gets the seat the TV would normally take
Every other choice in the room comes from one of these four. The beams take their color from the velvet, the mantel from the oak, the bar cabinet from the brass.
The palette stays this tight on purpose. Color comes in through the materials, and there are no accent pieces doing that job.
The markFour materials, four chairs, and one fire.
The stone wall and the sheen on the velvet are the two showy things in it. Everything else sits back.
