Living Room with Curved Sofa and Grand Staircase

It is a double-height space, so the ceiling runs up two floors. That height is what lets it carry the large cascading chandelier and the twin staircase without feeling crowded.

The feature walls use brown marble with strong natural veining, paired with lighter panelled sections. It gives the room a rich, dramatic backdrop behind the neutral sofa.

There is a split staircase that rises up from behind the sofa and branches to either side towards the upper landing. The steps are pale stone with slim dark metal railings running along the sides.

The look can be toned down for a normal-height room by keeping the curved sofa and marble accents and swapping the giant chandelier for a smaller fixture. Share your room size with the designer and it can be reworked to fit.
