Inspiration for a large contemporary open concept living room in New York with a standard fireplace, a stone fireplace surround, no tv, white walls and medium hardwood floors.

White Centre Island Living Room with Field Stone Fireplace

Contemporary Living Room, New York

The star of the living room, a 40-foot hearth that anchors the home both inside and out, serves as a divider of public and private spaces. The owner dreamed of a natural field stone loose laid fireplace by a local Long Island craftsman. It provides a beautiful, textured focal point that suits the context of the home. Floor to ceiling windows bring light and views, while an open hall balcony above is encased in glass and natural reclaimed wood. Photography by Adrian Wilson
