Here's the same room from another angle. The interplay of traditional (wing-style chair, gingham fabric) and contemporary (shag rug, floor pouf) comes together beautifully in the wall treatment.

At first glance, the rich red print on the ottoman and throw pillows in this space doesn't read as paisley. The sleek, stylized take on a dressy pattern keeps it in step with iconic modern pieces such as the Arco floor lamp and Panton chair.
