When designing the interior for a new home, it can be difficult to choose between the comfortable elegance of classic style and the sleek simplicity of modern pieces. This doctor's apartment, with interior design by Elvin Aliyev and Leyla Ibrahimova manages to marry the two styles nicely. More elaborate pieces like a chandelier and cozy sofas work easily with more neutral, modern elements. The result is a home that can be lived in comfortably that reflects personality along with style.

First, the living room is dominated by an array of patterns and colors, from two bright wall hangings to a geometric print rug.

The varied seating options create a truly inviting conversation area with diverse textures in upholstery and calming neutral colors.

This creative wall treatment helps the flat panel television to almost disappear into the wall when not in use.

Sleek marble for the end table and coffee table are distinctly modern and chic.

The designer also offers another version of the living room area that has its own classic style, starting with old world art and royal blue sofas.

Using a marble look for this wall treatment is decidedly elegant, but does not let the television disappear in the same way.

Overall, the lighter option makes the room feel more open while the darker room does a better job of separating living area from dining room.
