Houzz Tour: A Spacious New Home Marries Classic and Contemporary Design (12 photos)

Ample natural light brings out the textures in the living room, like the velvet sofa upholstery and walls finished with Diamond plaster, which is color-tinted plaster hand-troweled onto drywall a quarter-inch thick. It creates a softness and depth not achievable with regular paint.

A large coffee table made of walnut, rosewood and brass creates a focal point of visual warmth. Mann designed the table with Studio Lifestyle. She also had the sofas custom-made. In the corner, an antique Jacobean-style armchair easily blends with the contemporary furnishings. “The mixing of styles and periods always feels a bit more collected and interesting,” Mann says.

Automated drapery extends to the 11-foot-high ceilings. HVAC vents and speakers are recessed into the ceiling and all are integrated with the home automation system.
