A space can appear rigid and uninviting if there are a lot of linear lines and hard polished surfaces. Soft finishes, texture and curvature can help soften a linear look. For instance, a white Thassos marble penny round mosaic tile was introduced on the face of the fireplace for curvature and texture. A curvature detail is introduced on the inside edge of the grey maple stained mantel. Finally the soft furnishings, pillows, and patterned area rug offer that comfort quality.
