Leaning into the soothing, oh-so elegant side of neutrals, the living room will be the ultimate gathering place that blends the indoors and out. Timeless furnishings with rolled arms, turned legs and nailhead trim never go out of style and fit right into the northeast aesthetic.

The open floor plan maintains a similar neutral color palette throughout to create a cohesive design, but the dining room brings in touches of rustic charm and contemporary lighting. Slipcovered barrel dining chairs surround the weathered table, and globe pendants illuminate the space.

The no-fail color combo of yellow and gray gets a refined, modern makeover of mustard and ash. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves provide essential storage and styling opportunities, while a subtle geometric rug grounds the space in sophistication.

Earth tones infuse the main bedroom with warmth and are balanced by a bright white bed and linens. Graphic prints and raw woods establish pattern and texture, bringing much-needed character to the muted hues.

Stepping away from the neutral tones, this first floor guest suite sinks into a classic blue-and-white scheme. Simple lines, a touch of ombre and musical inspiration lure friends and family into the relaxing space.

A black-and-white plaid bed is the centerpiece of this guest room. Cane nightstands not only add classic texture and storage, but they're also totally on trend. To enliven the opposing color palette, light blue and canary yellow accents are brought in.
