Cohesive Contrast

Here, Mary Tjon-Joe-Pin shows viewers how living room furniture ensembles don't all have to match. By opting for contrasting-yet-cohesive textiles, she proves just how easy it is to create a cozy and dynamic living area.

Eye-Catching Appliances

When working with an all-white kitchen, Mary Tjon-Joe-Pin shows viewers how important it is to add contrast with appliances and decor.

Butter Yellow Walls

Of course, colorful kitchens can benefit from contrast, too. Case in point: this butter yellow beauty, complete with stainless appliances.

The Built-In of Dreams

This is the stuff study dreams are made of. From the statement rug and steel-frame desk to the ladder-accented floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelf, it's just about as cozy as a scholarly den can get.

An Outdoor Kitchen Fit for Family Dinners

Here, Jon Pierre and Mary Tjon-Joe-Pin make the ultimate case for an outdoor kitchen. With picnic-style seating, boldly colored planters, a neutral all-weather rug and statement lighting, this outdoor area offers a cozy space to chat and dine beyond the walls of the home.

Main Bath Goals

Talk about bathroom goals! This expansive main bath features ample counter and storage space, two sinks and a built-in vanity.

Side-by-Side

On the opposite side of the bathroom, Jon Pierre and Mary Tjon-Joe-Pin paired a glass walk-in shower beside a spacious garden tub and used contrasting tiles to create an eye-catching aesthetic.

Creating Borders

Mary Tjon-Joe-Pin used her design skills to show viewers that even within an open space, you can create a sense of borders. Here, she did so by organizing the furniture around a large rectangular rug and using a single accent chair to create the sense of a hallway.

The Most Perfect Reading Nook

The hosts of Two Steps Home have a thing for window seats, can you tell? First above the tub and now this picturesque reading nook. Which is ultimately to say, if you have deep window sills, put them to good use.

Unexpected Colors

If you've long been wary of adding color into your living room, take Mary Tjon-Joe-Pin's advice, and don't be afraid of incorporating bold statement pieces into your space. Just look how gorgeous this green couch and yellow chair look together.

Statement Shiplap

Looking for ways to make your bedroom remodel pop? Let this green statement wall be your inspiration.

Brass Accents

Worried about mixing metals in your kitchen? Jon Pierre and Mary Tjon-Joe-Pin make a case for brass accents and stainless appliances.

Diagonal Shelves

While there are so many things to take note of in this remodeled room—from the unique coffee table to the mirror-accented wall—none catches our eye as much as the slanted bookshelf along the far right wall.

Central Dining

The open nature of this dining space makes it feel so inviting. It's nestled between the front door and kitchen, making it a focal point in the home.

Old-Time Feel

If you prefer a more farmhouse feel, you'll adore this wood-accented dining area situated beside a nostalgic retro sage kitchen.
