Transitional Living Room With Chess Set
Molding is used to create a large geometric pattern on one of the walls of this gracious family room. It's an intriguing way to instantly bring visual interest to the space. Plus, it's a nice base for more layers of pattern, like the curtains' small-scale print.

Transitional Family Room With Blue Lamp
"A room does not have to be full to be complete. Less can, in fact, be more," says designer Lauren Clement. "Make what you do put in a room count with high visual impact and, of course, functionality." The designer recommends waiting to find just-the-right pieces for a space, instead of resorting to quick buys that may not be the best fit.
