For me design is not just about aesthetics; it’s a celebration of people—who they are, what they cherish, and the vibrant ways they experience life in their homes.

Bold Contrast, Elevated Style

At ASR Design Studio, we love a living room that feels confident and intentional. This space leans into bold details — rich black accents, luxe materials, and contrasting tones — while keeping the overall look grounded, curated, and livable.

Inside the Design:

  • A muted salmon sofa anchors the room with warmth and softness, creating balance against the darker elements.
  • White upholstered accent chairs bring lightness and sculptural form, adding contrast without overwhelming the space.
  • Black marble side tables add visual weight and a refined edge, instantly elevating the seating area.
  • A modern black ceiling fixture pulls the eye upward and ties the bold accents together.
  • The marble coffee table introduces texture and a sense of permanence — dramatic yet timeless.
  • A blue concrete accent table provides an unexpected pop of color and material, adding a modern, artistic touch.
  • Underfoot, a muted area rug softens the room and helps all the elements flow effortlessly.

This living room is a study in contrast — light and dark, soft and structured, subtle and striking. Every piece was chosen to create visual interest without sacrificing comfort.

Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to layer bold elements with softer tones. Black accents can ground a space, while muted colors and natural textures keep it approachable and warm.
