The major tones that you will see in this type of style will be brown, grey and blacks. So, first step will be to incorporate a tan brown leather sofa or armchair to make the space feel relaxed. And then maybe you can add white or grey elements to the room and can also play with textures. Such as sheer curtains, light wood for the display unit or maybe good black accent rug will work wonders to the space. Exposed brick wall adds a rustic look.
