This living room offers up sweeping views into the impressive kitchen. The neutral palette in both rooms stays fresh with an interesting mix of patterns and textures.

The stately stylings of this expansive kitchen mean meals around the island feel as grand as in many homes' dining rooms. Metal, lantern-like pendants and exposed wood beams give a hint of rustic charm to the otherwise white space.

One way to add even more visual height to a room: Hang curtains several inches above the top of the window, as seen in this elegant bedroom.

In this handsome home office, gray blue walls become a sophisticated backdrop for brown leather, wood and golden accents.
