This single family home in Lehi, Utah began as a generic build, with a closed-off interior that lacked a lot of functionality. To freshen up the 5,000-square-foot space for its new owners, designer Kirsten Krason remodeled the living room and kitchen, and then pulled in light wood accents, painted brick pieces and chalkboard signs for a farmhouse finish.

The living room is family-friendly, too, thanks to durable fabrics and wood floors. Notice how the two brown leather ottomans balance out the more feminine pieces, as well as complement the geometric shapes in the rug and railing.

To make the kitchen as functional as possible, the interior designers also outfitted the space with open shelves and custom cabinetry. The island has drawers, too, as well as a farmhouse sink for a look that Joanna Gaines would love.
