When punk rock style meets craftsman architecture, the saucy design spawn is definitely something to write home about. So visitors take note: this edgy and eclectic interior by designer Caitlin Murray is in a league of its own.

Lilac paint is like a jolt to the heart, instantly electrifying the living room's white walls. Notice, too, how the treatment ties the space together by helping the wallpaper and beams complement each other.

After parting ways with their beloved Victorian home in San Francisco and relocating to Los Angeles, Caitlin Murray's clients knew they wanted their Craftsman to reflect their Gothic tastes. So Murray created an unexpected, blended design, starting with the living room. Here, lilac ceiling beams and a floral accent wall balance a moody blue velvet sofa and dramatic black area rug.

Wildflowers bloom on the far side of the living room with the help of some vintage wallpaper. By layering a bold, midcentury mirror and console table on top of the delicate design, Caitlin Murray created a cool juxtaposition of shapes and styles.
