Blue-and-white patterned barstools at the island add a fun, colorful element to this neutral transitional kitchen. Blue is also found in the tile range backsplash and in the patterned curtains. The room’s bright white cabinetry is paired with gleaming gold-colored hardware, which is mirrored in the unique chandelier above the island.

Before the renovation, this living room had furniture clustered together, leaving large expanses of hardwood flooring open and unused.

White walls and a truly unique black console table make for a dramatic pairing in this stair landing nook. Equally eye-catching accessories atop the table complement the look, but it’s the colorful artwork above the table – and in the stairwell above – that adds a welcome jolt of color.

Prior to the renovation, this living room paired its off-white walls with white seating and red accents for a quickly outdated look.
