2. bring the outdoors in
The two-tone sofa, with raffia fabric on the
frame, is M ickle/s take on outdoor furniture.
“It makes you think of a wicker chair with
cushions without looking—and feeling—like
something that belongs on a patio,” he says.
3. keep it real
“A room should
function for the way you live,” Mickley says.
Rather than hide the TV, he hung it front
and center, then decorated around it. He
centered an oversize woven round coffee
table so it would be accessible from both
the sofa and chairs.
4. let it breathe
Wooden accent
chairs, slender lamps, and curtain-free
windows keep the overall look light. Even
the sofa and club chairs have exposed legs,
and the coffee table has cutouts.
