Transitional Living Room With Blue Cabinets

Reconfigured windows allow more light into the living room, while the mismatched wall niches are united in a single space that provides cabinets and shelves for storage and display. Blue and gray provide some color depth while still reading as a neutral palette, and a textured wallcovering adds depth to the entertainment center and ties in well with the subtly striped rug.

Blue and White Transitional Kitchen With Shades

This formerly dark and uninteresting kitchen gets a whole new life with beautiful blue cabinetry, delicate pendants and roman shades with a subtle graphic print. The backsplash is the star of the room: gray tiles in a herringbone pattern.
