While not technically a living room—interior designer Carolyn Pressly uses this space as an office—there's a lot to be learned from her choices. A burnished gold couch is placed atop a Persian rug with notes of red, black, pink, and (look closely) gold. All of this somehow works against a gray, black and white painted floor.
