The HGTV Dream Home 2015 great room is a light, open space with a classic neutral color palette. “The great room structure is that new modern way of living, which would not have happened in New England,” explains interior designer Linda Woodrum. “There would have been small, dark, boxy rooms, but we all know that we are living in this new way where there is this wonderful open space.”

This stunning two-story room is absolutely breathtaking, joining with the dining room for a modern, open feel. “We wanted to keep it open, airy and light feeling,” says Linda. “That was a goal – to come into a very traditional home and have this real nice, light sense. We kept the palette very light.”

Located in Martha’s Vineyard, this gorgeous home is bound to be an attraction for guests all year round. Linda kept that in mind when outfitting the great room with furniture. Extra chairs by each door can be brought into the center for guest and look great on their own.

Multiple sets of French doors line the great room, showing off the stunning view outside and allowing more natural light to brighten up the space.
