California Cool: Tour an Edgy Monterey Family Home

Interior stylist Tamara Lee Beltran did a clever job harmonizing a living and dining room in her Monterey, California home. Though the first floor of this home isn’t an open plan, the living room and dining room are close enough to each other to require a few connections in their design plan. The stripes on the rug, the polka dots on the table runner and even the triangle patterns on the wall in the dining room all have correlatives in the living room. And where there is the biggest difference - the complete lack of art in the dining room - all of the colors on the wall have been taken from the living room gallery wall, creating some beautiful visual connections.
