Zen Home: Stone Accents

A double high lounge welcomes a generous influx of natural daylight to heighten the dark décor of this spectacular home interior. Elegant, modern chandeliers draw attention to the high ceiling height, guiding the eye steadily up to the roofs. Downstairs on the ground floor, a sociable lounge arrangement gathers around a set of luxurious marble and wood grain square coffee tables. A charcoal living room rug lies a dark base for the lighter living room furniture.

A light gray living room rug holds a second living room layout together behind the first, providing homeowners with options for social settings.

Rock slabs tile a dramatic characteristic wall across the great hall. Embossing and channel tufted sofas add to the texture thread.

Designer lounge chairs loosely round out the two lounge arrangements in singles and pairs. See more inspiration for lounge chairs.

One of the tufted sofas is shaped into a reading area with a small side table and a sleek, slim table lamp. A throw is a victim scattered across the padding to increase the inviting comfort factor.

In the center of the living room, a large, modern fireplace causes a separation of a small, conversational seat. Three chairs come together around the firebox and log shop. A round hair rug lies a comfortable texture underfoot.

Behind the small seat, the formal dining room unfolds. A modern dining room chandelier makes a sculptural statement over the contemporary dining set.

A vertical garden wall blooms between gray stone slabs. LED strips highlight the attractive greenery and the sharp, linear edges of the ordered masonry.

Covers share the dining room of a neighboring home office.

In the kitchen, a wall of dark black, senseless units falls into the background behind a wood-wrapped kitchen island.

Black kitchen stools line up on both sides of the kitchen island to create a casual breakfast bar for up to eight people.

A black marble drawer is integrated at the end of the dining island to contain the kitchen sink.

A wonderful view of a treetop is appreciated by large, two-sided windows.

A linear modern fireplace gives the serene bedroom a luxurious atmosphere.

A unique bedroom chair sinks low into the neat contour of a topiary border.

A small vanity area leads into the closet.

Wooden tin panels line the sides of the closet.

The long wardrobe creates a narrow aisle to the en-suite bathroom.

Wooden tin panels slide off to reveal a wall of shoe storage. LED strips subtly aid the choice of shoes, while floor-to-ceiling light boxes saturate every end of the closet in bright lighting.

Inside the aesthetic bathroom, a closed skylight filters natural sunlight. The sunsets on a majestic indoor courtyard, where a cherry blossom tree leans over a black stone bathtub.

A wooden deck lifts the bathtub free of pebble floor treatment. Another deck forms the base of the shower area.

Lanterns add pockets of atmospheric light around the black bathtub.

A second shower area runs along the opposite side of the bathroom.
