Color + Pattern: Pretty Pastels in Historic Home

Throughout this historic home in Minneapolis, Minn., clean white walls become a canvas for pastel pink and blue furnishings. The living room leans more pink, with patterned pillows and a matching rug promising to start conversation at parties, while the master suite uses a soothing blue to induce sleep.

Fun Message Hidden in Mudroom Floors

Because the home has a smaller footprint, Bria Hammel Interiors put a lot of thought into every little detail. For example, the mudroom floors are both functional and fun, with gray and white pennytile that's easy to clean and that nods the owners' playful personalities.

Mudroom Flows Into Bright White Dining Area

Thanks to the home's open floor plan, the mudroom flows right into the dining area. Here, white walls and cabinets become a canvas for colorful accents, like pastel pink jars and blue plaid cushions.

Charming White Kitchen With Brass Hardware

Because this kitchen is part of a historic Tudor home, the designers used materials, like a hand-glazed backsplash and aged brass hardware, to make it feel true to the time period. A pretty curved hood rage and decorative X-detail over the pantry doors only enhance the space's charm.

Kitchen Complete With State-of-the-Art Appliances

Because this historic Tudor home has such great bones, Bria Hammel Interiors focused on increasing the functionality of each room. In the kitchen, this meant reorienting the space towards the back of the house and making way for spacious countertops, state-of-the-art appliances, an island and a dining area.

Light-Filled Living Room With Pink Sofa

There's a lot to love about this colorful living room: the pastel pink sofa, the coral chair, and, without doubt, the white-painted fireplace. A large rug softens the hardwood floors and brings in a dose of yellow and blue, too.

Master Bedroom With Soothing Blue Accents
