Color + Pattern: Townhouse With Hints of Teal
By limiting the color palette of this DC townhouse to shades of white, cool gray and wood, designer Kerra Michele Huerta ensured that teal accents would positively pop in each room. Thus, from the runners in the hallway to the backsplash in the kitchen, teal becomes a point of interest and makes the house look cohesive.
