Though the color palette in this condo is neutral, visual interest is still found in the living room through the textures of the block print media cabinet, plush rug and ribbed vases.

Greenery brings liveliness and color to this neutral living room while also adding a sculptural element that complements the textured ceramics.

Designer Caitlin McCarthy used a light touch on the design of this living room to keep it bright and airy and direct the focus on the floor-to-ceiling windows. A relaxed leather sofa, textural wall hanging and soft area rug -- all in neutral tones -- make it a comfortable spot to enjoy the views.

To bring a bold look to the breakfast counter without breaking the budget, designer Caitlin McCarthy opted for a wallpaper that mimics a popular cement tile pattern. The counter and barstools serve as the primary dining area in this compact city condo, leaving room for a larger living area.
