Design Report & Material List
Design Concept
A curved rust loveseat hugs the bay window's arc, creating an intimate two-person nook that feels like a built-in feature. Layered textiles, warm wood tones, and soft string lights balance the room's crisp white architecture with bohemian comfort.
Key Decisions
- Curved seating placement follows the window's radius, maximizing the tight footprint while preserving sightlines and flow
- Oversized round rug (8ft diameter) anchors the seating zone independently from the room's center, so the nook feels deliberate and grounded
- String lights tracing the ceiling curve emphasize the architectural feature and provide ambient evening glow without floor clutter
- Mixed textile layers (woven wall hanging, fringed throw, patterned cushions) add warmth that renters can swap seasonally

Sizing Note
