MASCULINE NEUTRAL Living Room

masculine-neutral-living-room-palette-Erika-Brechtel

I’ve been helping a friend with the remodel of his home, which is as rewarding for me as it is just plain fun. We ended up pairing light gray wood floors with his existing espresso kitchen cabinetry and white moldings, inserting new furniture pieces into the palette that are distinctive yet practical (…yes, a football lounger is indeed necessary). With a material mix of leather, linen, wood, brass, marble and mirror, a definite manly mood sets the tone for the entire space.

No. 1 Pierre Frey ‘Kubus’ pillow / No. 2 ‘Belgian Track Arm’ sofa / No.3 ‘Slade’ black pendant / No.4 ‘Strand’ mirrored coffee table / No.5 ‘Sloan’ upholstered chair in Platinum / No.6 small pillar marble table lamp / No.7 ‘Parker’ mid-century bar cart / No.8 ‘Rush’ cowhide rug / No.9 ‘Terrace’ brass side table / No.10 ‘Paloma’ footstool in black / No.11 ‘Oveido’ leather chaise 

I can almost hear the Rat Pack crooning and the vodka tonics clinking…cheers!
