Design details
- Modern acoustic media lounge — roughly 220 sf
- A modern media lounge tuned for evenings: a full feature wall of vertical walnut acoustic slats over dark felt frames a large dark screen, faced by a deep charcoal wool modular sectional layered with cushions and a chunky knit throw. Warm greige walls rise to a dark tray ceiling with a concealed lighting cove, warm-dim downlights group into scenes, and matte black sconces flank the slat wall over a closed-front walnut console. Charcoal blackout drapery and plush taupe carpet finish the acoustics. The intent is cinema comfort that still reads as a beautiful living room.
