A Warm, Modern Living Room
A dated formal living room reimagined as a warm, livable space for a young Montclair family.

The brief
The clients wanted a living room that felt elevated but genuinely livable — a place for both quiet evenings and easy entertaining.
The challenge

The solution

The result
The finished living room went from a formal space the family avoided to the room they gather in every day — proof that 'elevated' and 'livable' aren't at odds.
The Space
