Full House: A Favorite Room for Everyone

When Stacey and Charlie Hogan bought their Cape Cod–style home in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, in 2012, it had a stuffy, formal feel, with heavy woodwork and closed-off rooms. "I wanted the house to reflect all of our styles but still look pulled together," says Stacey. So she called designer Andrew Howard, who not only reconfigured walls to open up the space but also managed to satisfy everyone’s taste as he decorated.

Stacey got a living room with fresh blues and whites; Charlie got a study that's masculine and sophisticated; and each of their four daughters got a colorful room that reflects her personality. It's a super-fun house to tour because you never know what you'll find behind each door. Have a look!

"I’m always in here," says Stacey of her go-to room, with its tall windows and blue and white color scheme. The design started with the patterned curtains, which were hung three feet above the windows so they wouldn’t feel puny compared with the 20-foot ceiling.

The elm coffee table is surrounded with seating in all shades of blue, including a pair of animal-print chairs (for a similar fabric, try fabric.com). "In our old house we never used the formal living room," says Stacey. "I love having this great comfy space to hang out in instead."
