For a House Beautiful showcase home, this living room overlooking the Rocky Mountains in Colorado was all about taking inspiration from the natural landscape to foster a welcoming environment full of texture, warmth, and soothing neutrals. A gallery of art and stunning brass stalactite-esque pendants greet guests as they come in, and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace offers bench seating for extra friends (or pets) to perch. An oversize sectional with an extended backless chaise (Loya has one just like it in her own house), covered in a no-nonsense performance fabric, supplies the perfect spot for working from home, lounging with family, or watching the sunset.
