"This is actually one of my favorite rooms in the house," said designer Tiffany Brooks of HGTV Smart Home 2019.

An upholstered headboard with a wood frame anchors the bed while a mismatched dresser and side table create bedside tables.

Family game night comes alive in this warm and inviting playroom. A wall-mounted Scrabble game creates a fun focal point on the far wall while geometric influence is found from the cube-shaped coffee tables to subtle patterned rug.

Modern lines meet natural textures in this leather-wrapped fireplace with black-and-white tile accent. A black box mantel protects the leather-wrapped chimney from the heat, while subtle neutral tile creates a natural frame around the fire itself. Portraits in a gallery-wall-style arrangement above the mantel and a dramatic chandelier add a gothic element.

This breakfast area of the kitchen incorporates Old World style with timeless elegance for a formal tone that still feels inviting. Modern Parson chairs head each end of the table while a traditional church pew creates a bench seat for the table. Bright white cabinets pop against dramatic dark walls.
