Sunset Hues in Santa Monica Home
This newly remodeled, Spanish Modern home in Santa Monica, Calif., takes cues from the sunset and uses pastel pink and blue accents to soften its stark white interior. Every room comes with a golden light fixture, too, which helps create a sense of cohesion and, of course, inspire thoughts of the sun on the horizon.

Contemporary Living Room With Fireplace Niche
This Spanish Modern house is home to a young family of four. The design is a graceful blend of Art Deco and midcentury styles, with fun pops of color that add life to the rooms. Here, in the living room, white space is just as important as the art pieces, helping to create a sense of peace as well as spotlighting special moments, like the niche above the fireplace.

Contemporary Living Room With Pink Poufs
A print by Rodrigo Valenzuela hangs over a glittery Art Deco console table in the living room. The niche above the fireplace gets a charming circular vase. Both pieces prove the designer's point that, when it comes to decorating a space, less is very often more.
