The dark siding of this home easily blends with the concrete driveway for a look that's both subdued and seamless. Wood accent panels add pops of intrigue and warmth to the house and attached garage.

A large natural rock fireplace surround is the focal point of this stylish, contemporary sitting room. The texture offers a beautiful contrast to the smooth finishes in the majority of the room, while a blue sofa adds a pop of color to the neutral furniture and rug.

To keep the space from feeling too heavy or dark, white wire chairs pair with neutral throws for a look that feels soft and balanced. Against the far wall, a built-in bookshelf showcases the owners' prized possessions.

Across the way, pale blue walls become a soothing backdrop for relaxing in the den. A wood coffee table, cabinet and chair add warmth to the setting, as well as give the owners' a space to store essentials like DVDs and magazines.
