A frequently-asked question we hear from our clients is how to design a two-story living room- and that was a key element for this contemporary coastal home design in Durham, NC. Specifically, how we would furnish this very tall room to feel inviting, balanced, and complete. Working in alignment with this room’s soaring ceiling and expansive window, we brought in extra plush seating, artfully layered patterns, large art, and all the unique coastal-inspired details that brought these clients so much joy.
