Traditional Living Rooms

Symmetry is key when designing a traditional-style room; here, bookcases fill the void on either side of the fireplace.

Here's a great place to watch a flick or play a game of pool. If privacy or a theater environment is in order, velvet draperies enclose the space to provide a cocoon like setting for optimum movie viewing.

Spacious, light and very livable, this family room suits the needs of all its members. You can watch a film or a TV show, enjoy the fire, read or just relax in the comforts of home. A rough limestone fireplace is shared by the kitchen's sitting area adding contrast to the soft and warm chenille and paisley upholstery.


This keeping room was created for kicking off your shoes and relaxing. Soft chenille in cinnamon and russet blend beautifully with the hammered copper metal accents.

In a room this spacious, use symmetry to create a proper balance of furnishings and accessories.

Designed for an active family, this living space features child-friendly, easy-care fabrics.
