Design Report & Material List
## Design Concept
This living room balances modern comfort with classic warmth through clean-lined upholstery and soft neutral layering. The cove lighting and symmetrical furniture arrangement create an inviting, gallery-like atmosphere that feels polished yet livable.
## Key Decisions
- **Upholstered seating in performance fabric** — resists stains from daily use while maintaining the bright, airy palette you wanted
- **Low-profile media console** — keeps sightlines open across the room and provides concealed storage for clutter
- **Round coffee table** — improves traffic flow between the two facing sofas and softens the room's rectangular geometry
- **Layered lighting scheme** — cove accent lighting plus recessed cans eliminates harsh shadows for evening relaxation
