@ProjectRowhouse: It's not exactly "reinterpretation" if you merely copy an original design, though.

These are reproductions of the classic Tolix stool, made in Bourgundy, France. A small Tolix comes at around $180; a bar-stool-size one is around $250.

Black floors are just as much a maintenance nightmare as white floors — dust is essentially gray, and most people's hair is neither black nor white.

If you/your family's hair is not black, the best compromise is actually light or medium gray. It's far more forgiving. Glossiness doesn't really matter in terms of dust visibility, although floors should have some gloss to prevent wear.

According to classic interior design theory (and I happen to agree with this particular wisdom), the sofa is in the wrong place. The sofa should always face the main entry point of the room. So it's the wrong way round. I would put the TV and media cabinet along the left-hand wall, and the sofa where the media cabinet is now.
