Traditional Style Open Living

Usually open living means a space that is industrial, modern or minimalist. How often do we see a true multipurpose living space which includes more traditional styling and multiple layers?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainehome.com/feminine-living-room-photos/slide7" target="_blank">This</a> spectacular room sees living, dining and office perfectly incorporated into one, large space. It really makes you rethink the need for all those walls, doesn't it?<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNURP0NAyVH_l5nZDBOV2GP3AKDwChKygx0K_eIqfwuS1mQ62atssB50pEAu2KO49YyRCuyBHLCID1v_qPawRM3lbSRUCc1jlFDX_EKn_9T5qkOXIxjQZFG3OC8YGrH3iOUqSxUq7NxsY/s1600/main.original.980x550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="359" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNURP0NAyVH_l5nZDBOV2GP3AKDwChKygx0K_eIqfwuS1mQ62atssB50pEAu2KO49YyRCuyBHLCID1v_qPawRM3lbSRUCc1jlFDX_EKn_9T5qkOXIxjQZFG3OC8YGrH3iOUqSxUq7NxsY/s1600/main.original.980x550.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br />So many noteworthy ideas here...<br /><br />Warm tonal hues create a soft welcoming envelope for living.<br /><br />Note the way the sofa is presented - a large banquette that starches the length of the wall, it can accommodate several people at once and yet takes up minimal area.<br /><br />A large sculptural table takes centre stage, and as the darkest piece in the room it is grounded although floating atop several large cowhides.<br /><br />The office area along the right side of the space includes two generous workspaces, and cleverly uses additional dining chairs, which link the areas and allows them to be pulled to the table for larger groups.<br /><br />A wall of storage above the workspaces is busy, but balanced by the wall of mirror on the left, which fills in the large area above the banquette without further visually cluttering the room.<br /><br /><br />What do you think? Would this work for how you live?<br /><br />x am<br /><br /><br />
