Portrait 9:16 photorealistic editorial interior photograph, premium Architectural Digest aesthetic. Open-plan apartment living-dining space designed as a “broken floor plan” using soft-zoned drapery architecture: a wide double-sided open shelving spine runs perpendicular to the window wall, dividing living and dining while remaining airy; a rounded-edge furniture-island console sits behind a low sculptural sofa with softly curved corners. Full-height linen-look or wool-blend drapery panels hang from a wall-to-wall ceiling-mounted track, forming a curtain plane that subtly partitions the living zone; the curtains gather into calm, tailored pleats and terminate into a simplified padded/curved MDF pelmet/valance box near the window wall. Walls and ceiling in plaster-look microcement/limewash finish with gentle tonal variation; linear wall washers graze the plaster, creating soft-brutalist shadow gradients. A chunky curved coffee table (stone or resin, slightly plastery matte surface) anchors the seating on a loop-pile or flatweave area rug used for zoning; a second rug defines the dining area beyond the shelving spine. Add quilted/felt acoustic textile wall panels on one wall (tone-on-tone) to suggest sound-softening architecture. Styling: overscale matte ceramic vases, travertine/limestone accessories, and a few ribbed glass divider objects (lantern-like vases) placed on the shelving and console. Hardware details in brushed nickel or blackened steel (curtain track, shelf supports). Color palette dominated by warm off-white and sand (#F3EFE7, #D8D2C8), greige (#B8B0A6, #8E857B), deep charcoal accents (#2F2F2F), and subtle brass-gold warmth (#C7B07A). Natural daylight from large windows balanced with warm 2700K LED grazing light; shallow depth of field but overall crisp realism, high dynamic range, clean lens, no distortion, no people, no humans, no models, no watermark, no text overlay, no collage, single frame

Portrait 9:16 photorealistic editorial detail photograph of the same interior concept, premium magazine aesthetic. Close-up angle along the curtain plane acting as a soft wall: focus on the ceiling-mounted wall-to-wall curtain track and the simplified curved/padded pelmet/valance box with immaculate joinery; full-height drapery in linen-look or wool-blend with rich, heavy pleats and subtle texture. In the midground, a sliver of the double-sided open shelving spine appears with a ribbed glass lantern-vase and an overscale matte ceramic vase; brushed nickel or blackened steel brackets visible. Background softly shows the plaster-look microcement/limewash wall with linear LED wall-washer grazing across it, revealing gentle trowel variation; a hint of the rounded sofa edge and the curved stone/resin coffee table. Palette stays warm neutral with charcoal accents and a small touch of muted brass tone (#C7B07A) in an accessory. Natural window light plus warm LEDs, tactile realism, no visible text, no distortions, no people, no humans, no models, no watermark, no text overlay, no collage, single frame
