Above: In the entryway the designers created a mini landing pad by defining a sliver of wall with dark charcoal paint and installing a trio of Dots Wall Hooks by Muuto for hanging coats and bags and a trio of shelves for storing shoes.
Above: In the living room the designers combined a suite of Muuto furniture with a rattan chair (for sourcing ideas, see Trend Alert: Rattan Furniture Made Modern).
Above: A cork Sinnerlig Bench, designed by Ilse Crawford ($119 from Ikea), serves as a plant stand.
Above: The living room is outfitted with a Rest Three-Seater Sofa and an Around Coffee Table, both from Muuto. For a similar pink velvet pillow, consider the offerings from Remodelista favorite Kirsten Hecktermann.
Above: For storage the designers added simple wall shelving and created a low-slung credenza along one wall.
