Providing a moody touch, the monochromatic wall in this study helps details like the brick fireplace to pop, and unique built-ins provide nooks for favorite collections and reading materials. Perfectly placed by the fire, a sleek leather chair combines the best of classic comfort and modern design, making an evening alone all the more enjoyable.
