The Benjamin Moore Soot provides the perfect modern background to a rustic-inspired living room with a dark gray/black hue that has blue undertones. Flanking the white tiled fireplace is a casual and straightforward sofa upholstered in a soft neutral fabric and a pair of wood-framed armchair in a warm brown leather and canvas strapped base. Adding more modern elements is the white linen area rug with an offset broken striped pattern. Rustic charm is added with the large round distressed coffee table, natural teak side table, and organic round teak mirror to help reflect light in the room. There is also a natural rattan woven pendant and teak ladder, which is a chic and modern way to store throw blankets. Abstract blue artwork adds a modern pop of color.
