The
home’s neutral color scheme is established in the living room, where a mix
of natural shades creates an ambiance of subdued elegance. For the furnishings,
Kubli chose textural fabrics that combine sophistication and comfort. A sofa,
lounge chair and a pair of French-style armchairs are dressed in plush two-tone
chenille; a bench wears a complementary tapestry fabric woven in tones of
beige, camel and a splash of lavender. “There’s a cozy feeling
everywhere you sit,” Kubli says.
French doors
and arched windows line the living room, allowing an abundance of natural light
to flood the space. According to Kubli, the owners found the draperies to be
their most difficult choice. They needed to make a bold statement without
overpowering the room. Kubli achieved just the right effect by combining swags
of heavy cotton fabric with off-white panels.
The
double entry doors also make a dramatic impact with an arched transom laced
with intricate patterns of clear and amber glass. The leaded, stained-glass
doors open to the foyer, where a hand-carved mirror and a natural-wood console
impart the feel of another time. An area rug subtly incorporates the tones of
the bench fabric in the living room.
