Bottle on the Rock: Designing a Living Room That Balances Silence and Shock

Designing Stillness with Volume

There’s nothing ordinary about this living room.

From the moment we saw the raw space, we knew it needed to feel like a sculpture—not just a space to sit.

Our inspiration?
A bottle of whisky on a glass rock table—smooth, bold, clear, heavy. That became our metaphor.

The Yellow Wall Wasn’t a Color. It Was a Punchline.

We designed this room as a composition.

• The yellow panel slices through space with mathematical confidence

• Soft greys, blacks, and beige fabrics pull the palette back into calm

• Every object was chosen with theatrical restraint

• The art on the wall was not added—it was designed into the structure

Material Choices That Breathe Silence

• Custom soft-touch matte on built-ins

• High-density wooden flooring from Belgium

• Imported charcoal paint with anti-reflection coating

• Satin brass inlays to catch light—but never scream

A Living Room for Those Who Host With Poise

This wasn’t built for show-off selfies. It was built for:

• Jazz on a Tuesday

• Negronis over slow conversation

• Kids curled into the corner chaise

• Clients coming over and asking: “Who designed this?”

Answer: Modern Habitat did.
