This sunroom in a renovated New York farmhouse is a perfect example of casual chic. The sage-and-white trim makes the millwork pop and adds architectural interest to the ceiling. Modern chairs paired with a woven sofa and reclaimed wood-topped coffee table create an inviting seating area made for conversation and relaxation.

For a tone-on-tone effect, this formal dining room is equipped with several tints and shades of spring green. This subtle change in color adds a layered effect that’s understated yet elegant.
