Fuschia Flair: Focus On The Floor's Motif Let The Bright Fireplace Be The Star

Background Story
This a living room of a restaurateur's home in New Haven, Connecticut. She has definitely found her new side with the bright new fireplace, reminding her of her favorite candy. She wants a contemporary living room.

New Haven is famous for Yale University. A quite busy city with collegiate sports, major concert events, shops, museums, festivals and 56 Zagat-rated restaurants. So, a contemporary style is a preferable one. Some of the items are considered to have contemporary style. 

Selections of natural color is neutral for highlighting the favorite motif and material of floor, wooden. The selections will create a warm but soft combinations that will not distract people from the star of the room, the bright new fireplace. The seats looks pillowy, whether you choose the sofa, the armchairs or the ottoman. I pick complements such as the table lamp and the rug that have matching colors, black and white.

Its classic figure, the neutral color which also match to the ottoman and the sofa's cushions, make me directly into it for this composition. How cozy it looks is irresistible.

Kathy Kuo Home - Felicity Brushed Gold Tempered Glass Etagere
Dimensions: 78"H x 36"w x 14"D

It is priced at $713. It is constructed from forged iron with antique gold finish and tempered glass. This Art-Deco (the predominant decorative art style of the 1920's and 1930's, characterized by precise and boldly delineated geometric shapes and strong colors and used most notably in household objects and in architecture) is timelessly elegant. It is a nice idea to delivers this old world glamour of gold leaf iron display case to even the most modern homes.

Pottery Barn - Upland Marble End Table
Dimensions: 18"W x 16"D x 25"H

It is priced at $341 (Official Website Current Price). This is both a rustic and chic item due to its mix of industrial and refined materials. Its white marble top adds a polished finish to the gunmetal iron framework and wood-slab shelving below. A weathered-hickory finish adds to its repurposed look. Its frame is made of iron and kiln-dried mango wood. Kiln-dried wood helps prevent warping, splitting, cracking and developing mildew. Its top is made of a sealed, polished marble. This table features a stained gunmetal gray finish on all sides. Its shelves have an antique weathered-hickory finish.

Rustic to me is homey, the warmth love of grandparents and eco-friendly. Chic design is nice to be put anywhere for any era. Neutral tone make it adjustable to many compositions of colors.

Article - Sora Sofa
Dimensions: 34"H x 81.5"W x 30.5"D

It is priced at $899 (Official Website Current Price). It is made of solid Acacia (the frame), foam, and 100% polyester fiber. Small cracks and fissures may develop with changes in humidity and temperature. This is a natural characteristic of solid wood furniture.Character and grain of the wood will vary for each piece and will weather to a soft gray over time.

The Sora sofa is cute mid-century goodness in 21st century materials. A solid wood base, rounded corners, and pretty spindled back makes for an outdoor sofa that is eye-catching but has substance — just like your summer crush. Rest on those plush cushions between sets of beach volleyball, knowing that those pillows are upholstered in weather-resistant fabric and will brush off easily. 

It is cute and affordable enough. I am also attracted to its humble design and of course its wooden frame. Although it features a mid-century design but it still up-to-date for 21st century living room style.
