What makes a great sitting room? These two spaces have all the right ingredients – bookshelves for fab things, a barcart for entertaining, and, of course, a great place to sit. No TV necessary.

Domino's Glamorous Decadence

Also shown above, this sultry sitting room first appeared in Domino Magazine's November 2008 issue. I adore the dark wall color (mid-night blue to be exact), brass accents, and mini chandelier.

Known for this dark and dramatic apartment reno, Cathy Echols proves she can master light and bright too. White walls and hot pink shelves set the scene for a little bit of everything in her eclectic salon.

Though primarily a self-taught decorator, Desiré studied at The Art Institute, where she honed a distinct aesthetic largely influenced by the Modern Glamour movement, the theme of her popular design blog, Sukio. Not only is she considered a "closet fashionista," discreetly stashing handbags and shoes whenever possible, but, as an MIT graduate, she’s also an undercover nerd. Fashion, nerdom, and several years as a Washingtonian have combined to shape her unique perspective on interior design.
