THE LIVING ROOM

Not everything should fight for attention, but every room needs a hero. A bold sofa, a striking light fixture, or a unique artwork can anchor a space. Let it set the tone, and build around it with thoughtful details.

Raw meets refined. Vintage meets contemporary. A heavy steel coffee table paired with warm wooden side tables. A bold patterned sofa with a multi-colored rug. The magic happens in the tension between elements.

A room should feel lived in, not staged. Pick pieces that have character and that you love personally, aged wood, patinated metal, sculptural forms. A worn leather chair or a weathered marble tabletop can add soul and history to a space.

A Dusty Deco space is never flat. Use layers, mix textures like soft velvet, polished marble, aged brass, and wool. Let everything clash and see the room come to life. Stack books, add a sculptural candle holder, let a fabric drape naturally and most importantly: choose a soft wool rug with character. Depth is always key.

Do not be afraid of mixing pieces from different eras. Let a contemporary, sculptural chair take up the room next to warmer mid-century pieces to make the room interesting. Play with shapes, let striking lines clash with the softer organic silhouettes to create visual interest and spaces that catch the eye.

As final touch, we are adding lighting in layers, table lamps, floor lamps, wall sconces, you name it. Lighting sets the tone, it draws you in, and as in every room: the more the better, adding to the depth, warmth and story of your space. A Dusty Deco home should feel like an evolving story, never fully complete. Leave room for change, for treasures found along the way. The best interiors are not rushed, they are collected, layered, and always a little bit unexpected.
