The combination of the cognac leather on the sofa, the brown tones in the textiles, art prints, and on the dark oak coffee tables work perfectly against the cool grey wall color in the living room.

The large oak wood wall shelf on the living room wall is great for storing books and combined with the daybed in front of it, it turns this section of the living room into a reading corner.

A bedroom with a dark green wall color and a small home office spot

The dark green wall color in the bedroom also comes back on the custom headboard and on the wardrobe module against the wall, resulting in a beautiful tone-on-tone effect that makes the white ceiling stand out in a contrasting way.

The bed is made with a mixture of white, beige, and brown textiles and the two white mushroom lamps on the bedside table seem to jump out from the dark background.

The other side of the room also includes a large wardrobe so the bedroom has more than enough storage opportunity.
