The Perfect Spot

This family-friendly breakfast nook is designed to feel warm and relaxing. The high-gloss white finishes on the floors, furnishings and even the window treatments help reflect the natural light.

Casual Use

By bringing in garden-fresh flowers to highlight bright, white finishes, this space feels fresh, clean and instantly welcoming.

French Doors

Installing French doors near high-traffic areas, such as kitchens and decks, helps increase a room's suitability for entertaining.

Hardy Lighting

Thanks to a metal and mesh grate detail, the pendant light blends well with the room's rustic and industrial elements, as well as its light and airy accents.

All About Balance

Repetition of rounded elements, seen in the kitchen table, overhead light, side table and even the shape of the Windsor chairs, creates a balanced look.

Timeless Chairs

Classic design is dictated by staying power, and the Windsor chair is one of those examples. A slightly curved back accented by simple, clean lines goes with almost any decor. A bright, white finish gives these chairs a fresh, modern update.

Grounded Space

A stylish jute and raw denim rug is built to withstand the wear and tear of kids and pets. The rug's high-contrast pattern and dark colors can mask most stains, making it a great choice for a kitchen.

Painted White Floors

High-gloss white, wood floors are a great alternative to tile or stained wood. When installed correctly, maintenance and cleanup is a snap, and it's hard to beat the clean and fresh look that this finish provides.
