Double-Height Living Room with Formal Lounge
About Living Room Interiors
Common questions from homeowners.
There are really two seating zones. The main double-height area has a big cream sectional facing the travertine TV wall, and a separate formal lounge next to it has three curved tan leather sofas around a stone-inlay table. It gives you a casual spot and a dressier one.
The double height and the wall of tall windows hit you first, with the branch-style chandeliers dropping down through the space. The travertine TV wall anchors the seating below all that height.
The main sectional is in a soft cream upholstery, while the formal lounge uses curved cognac-tan leather sofas. The mix of the two keeps the big room from feeling like one single block of furniture.
Cassette AC units are recessed into the ceilings of both zones, so there are no wall boxes interrupting the panelling. It keeps the tall, formal look clean.
The two-zone idea scales down. Even in a normal living room you can split a casual sofa area from a small formal seating cluster. Share your space with the designer and it can be planned to fit.
