Living Room Design Photos and Ideas

living room - looking to wasatch mountains and salt lake city beyond
Built-in benches function both as seating and as spare beds in the living room. Holm says the striped, hand-woven fabric she found in Greece is indestructible, and the cork flooring throughout the house has gone 40 years without needing replacing.
Kitchen and living area looking toward studio space and library
Interior design by Antonio Da Motta Leal.  Large bypass doors serve as a screen between the kitchen and great room and feature silk paintings by Chinese artist Eros Zhao.
View of Skyline and River from Kitchen
As seen from the main entrance, the living room faces the pool and patio where one can sit and enjoy the breeze and sunlight from the outdoors while sitting comfortably inside.
In the office, doors slide back and a chair pulls out to reveal a custom built-in desk.

The picture wall is adorned with images collected from family, colleagues, and estate sales. ”I kill plants, so cacti are our friends,” Peter says of the succulents along the low table behind the Design Within Reach sofa, just over which an Established & Sons Font clock keeps time.

Laurelhurst Residence
The Serge Mouille floor lamp is paired with the Fabricius & Kastholm Grasshopper chair in the living room. The custom walnut cabinet is mounted on red cedar siding, which provides a dramatic backdrop for the Eames sofa and a Finn Juhl coffee table of solid walnut.
Floor to ceiling glass doors pivot onto the back patio.
The original rear wall of the house had one small sliding glass door, and several fixed windows that had been broken and water damaged.   Two NanaWall bifold glass walls replaced the windows, opening the entire back wall to indoor-outdoor living.
An electric train set from Chicagoland Hobby travels an elevated track designed by Studio Gild. The 35-foot loop passes through the indoor tree house and around the theater room. A Serge Mouille Two-Arm sconce is surrounded by graphic Mylar wallpaper.
Upper Level: Master Bathroom.                                                                                                                                      The lighting scheme was designed to enhance the spatial qualities.
