NYC designer Deborah Berke walked The Wall Street Journal through the oblique genius of Eero Saarinen's Miller House, explaining how the landmarked home's living room reflects Saarinen's "slow burn" aesthetic.

More advice, summarized by the WSJ: "get down with sunken seating." Because duh. [WSJ; previously]
