The contemporary living room steers away from the rich colour palette used in the rest of the home to encourage a more serene atmosphere. The pale blue walls, soft grey armchairs and light brown ottoman create a serene space. The pastel blue accessories and the contemporary artwork complement the matte fire place without being too central. The ornate sculpture on the sidetable maintains the historical accents of the home alongside the smoked glass chandelier in the dining area. Photography by Richard Waite.
