A vintage Vladimir Kagan sofa is joined by an equally sensuous black Kagan chair with wing-like arms. Two swivel seats swathed in lush velvet complement the aesthetic and establish the room as more of a “stand up with a cocktail place” than a “drink a beer and catch a game space.” (Tour the home.)

For the living room of a Seattle house, designer Heidi Caillier chose Benjamin Moore’s Simply White for the walls and Oil Cloth for the trim to set the stage for a selection of compelling pieces, including a vintage chaise replete with fringe details from Jayson Home, a plaster Noir table and a large-scale sconce from 1stdibs.
