The living room of Sherry Habif’s home is designed to embody springtime in the forest. Soft colors and organic themes in the decor convey this message. Habif worked with Julia and Ted Larrabee of Julia Larrabee Designs to redesign the living areas and master bedroom in her home in 2017 and 2018. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

Janet Mozley’s Buckhead loft has brick walls with high ceilings and exposed ductwork that give the space an urban vibe. “I like to see all the mechanisms,” said Mozley. “In order to cover it you have to drop the ceiling tremendously, and then you lose the feeling of the loft environment.” Text by Shannon Dominy.

The inspiration for this design was to keep the living room sleek and modern. Much thought went into the fabrics, textures and wallcoverings. Photos by The VSI Group.

The front door of Philippe and Amanda Pellerin’s home opens into their formal living room. Their home, which was built in the 1890s, has housed many families and groups, including a church and a restaurant. They worked with interior designer Valerie Wylie of Dakota Grey Interiors to design their living room to fit their style and the style of the home. Their home will be on the Grant Park Candlelight Tour of Homes on Dec. 14 and 15. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

For the gallery wall in the living room, two pieces of art are by Ali Leja and another created by homeowner Mimi Tin features moss. Tin tried to maintain whimsy throughout the house. Text by Megan Wahn/Fast Copy News Service. Photo by Reynolds Rogers/Fast Copy News Service.

The living room of Mark Taylor and Melinda Matthews’ Marietta bungalow is light and open, with walls filled with art. A sofa and Eames-style chair from Macy’s gives the space ample sitting, and a stained glass pane by Hardeman Fine Art Glass purchased from Decades Antiques and Vintage hangs in the window.

When Joelle and Mike DeRoche bought their home in 2018 the stairs in the home were rough-hewn and carpeted. When they started to refinish them, they realized that since the stairs were unfinished, it would be just as easy to restructure the staircase. They demolished the original stairs and worked with Vision Stairways & Millwork to create a new set of stairs that land in the living room instead of by the front door. Text by Shannon Dominy.
