Designed for a family who loves color and pattern, the foyer of this home packs a punch with a trellis-patterened wallpaper adorning the walls and ceiling.

The wallpaper is balanced by monochromatic furniture and artwork. Here, a gray dresser and white wall hangings are ideal complements, crisp and clean.

"(The homeowner) really wanted to make sure we were showing each of their personalities in the design rather than designing for the masses," says Joel Snayd, principal at interior architecture firm Rethink Design Studio. "She was like, 'This is our home. I want it to be for us.'"

The home enjoys views of the Herb River in Savannah through the French doors in the living room. Light, neutral colors on the walls, ceiling and window treatments minimize distractions from the serene surroundings outside.
