Cottage in Urla, Izmir
Sep 28, 2022
The living room in this cottage is a true reflection of the aim to create a livable and comfortable family space. The integration of natural materials, tones, and textures throughout the design brings a sense of tranquility and relaxation into the room, making it the perfect place to unwind and spend time with loved ones.
One of the most striking features of this living room is the fireplace, which adds warmth and character to the space. The use of carried stone from the exterior and a cast limestone mantel as a fireplace material is a great example of how natural materials can be used to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The fireplace is the focal point of the room and serves as the perfect gathering spot for family and friends.
We built the living area around the fireplace, creating a natural flow and sense of harmony in the space. The large niches on both sides of the stone wall where the fireplace is located provide ample storage space, which is a great way to keep the room organized and tidy. The wooden cabinets and shelves are carefully designed and placed to complement the natural beauty of the stone and to blend seamlessly into the overall design of the space.
Texture is a key element in this living room, and we used it in a variety of ways to create a sense of movement and warmth. The flax open-weave linen, tweed, and velvet fabrics used in the upholstery of the comfortable sofas, poufs and cushions add visual weight and depth to the room, while the olive branches, potteries, painting hanging above the fireplace, and sculptural iron chandelier all contribute to the overall texture of the space.
The living room we designed in this cottage is a perfect example of how natural materials, tones, and textures can be used to create a warm and inviting family space. From the striking fireplace to the carefully designed storage solutions and the thoughtful use of textures, every element of the design has been carefully considered to create a comfortable and functional living room that is sure to be enjoyed by all who enter it.
