Finishing up our series pairing design and drinks – we round out the holiday season with a modern bachelor pad paired with a Bloody Mary, inspired by the color of the living room’s design.

In the sumptuous San Francisco apartment above, featuring a lampshade and high pile rug in Pantone’s color-of-the-year Marsala, the decor exudes luxury that makes you want to mix a cocktail and have a seat. The fabrics were selected to provide tactile enjoyment and invite lounging. Clear Lucite nesting tables and hanging Aarnio bubble chair allow the eye to travel across the space more freely while giving the feel of space-age technology.

To enjoy this living room fully, we recommend a Bloody Mary, a drink often consumed by the characters on Mad Men. Get more pairing ideas on our Pinterest board Drinks & Decor – Pairings!
