Living Room
Wood (as the ceiling beams), brick (in the flooring) and stainless steel (via the high-end fireplace) marry in this cool, contemporary living space. “[Our favorite feature in the home is] the striated stainless steel fireplace in the living room,” says Lilley and Scharf. “It mixes the contemporary aspect of the home with the rustic wood mantel for a more urban appeal.”

WORD TO THE WISE
“To make the room feel more modern yet comfortable, use furniture that is linear in design along with fabrics that do not have bold patterns. Also, limit the amount of accessories.”
