This lower-level living space was designed as the ultimate destination for both entertainment and relaxation, anchored by a bold, custom geometric wood veneer wallcovering. Its deep charcoal tones and subtle metallic sheen create instant drama, while its pattern draws the eye across the room, enhancing the sense of depth and dimension. Serving as both an art piece and a unifying design element, the wallpaper frames the dual large-screen displays and ties together the palette of caramel, taupe, and soft grey used throughout the furnishings.

This updated lower level draws inspiration from classic mountain lodges, featuring a rich, earthy color palette and refined country club textiles like plaids, tweeds, and wool. Natural elements—stone, dark walnut, and mahogany—ground the space, while bronze nailhead trim on the sofa and chairs adds a tailored finish. Designed to enhance the home’s traditional architecture, the space balances timeless materials with modern lines and functional pieces for elevated comfort and style.

Our main goal was to maximize the space for entertainment – we created several different ‘zones’ that allowed us to incorporate a variety of seating options. Layering textures and subtle patterns in a neutral color story, grounded with traditional design elements for a timeless and sophisticated look. We designed a fireplace to serve as a focal point of the space, with a stone finish that adds additional texture.
