Modern Living Room Design

In search of an experienced Interior Designer to modify the aesthetic of my living room, which serves primarily as an entertaining / Work space. As this is a highly used area in my household (mainly used by me), it is crucial that the design promotes a cozy atmosphere.

I already have some idea of what I am trying to do I just need some guidance :) .

- Proven experience in modern interior designing
- A portfolio showcasing previous living room designs
- Excellent understanding of space utilization
- Ability to work within a specific theme
