fireplace
Because most of the interior walls were removed during the remodel, the fireplace can be enjoyed from many spots on the first floor. From this angle, the dining room is straight ahead and the entry is to the left. “The fireplace can be appreciated from many perspectives and feels integrated with the other rooms. Its simplicity is what adds impact,” Stothers says. “It’s also one of the first things you see upon entering the house — a nice way to welcome guests and a place where my clients enjoy a glass of wine together or read a book.”See more of this home

Elimination exercise. When designing a room, what we put in tends to take precedence over what we leave out. Placing a coffee table between or in front of sofas is a firmly entrenched habit. But ask yourself whether it is actually essential to your living room. Would a pair of side tables work better instead? Here, the negative space created by the absence of a central table not only gives clear air to the sculptural lines of this hanging fireplace, but it also opens a traffic path to the floor-to-ceiling windows.
