The combination of a striking color scheme and improved landscaping gives this Craftsman home an up-to-date look that still respects the architecture and history of the house.

Paired with relaxed-vibe modern furniture, the creative color scheme chosen for the front porch fits the artistic Fourth and Gill neighborhood that surrounds this home, located near downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee campus. Two Mongolian lamb fur throw pillows in rose blush add cozy comfort to the seating area.

Different shades of white and blue make the living room light and serene, with a smart floor plan that makes the minimalist space feel comfortable and inviting.

This view looking from the living room into the adjoining dining room that connects to the kitchen highlights the great flow between the main entertaining spaces inside the home. The coordinated use of blue and white throughout the house and out to the front porch also gives the property a coordinated look and feel.

Custom drapery panels with flat black hardware flank the dining room’s historic windows. By doubling the amount of drapery needed, designer Brian Patrick Flynn was able to make the space feel cozy and lived in.

To highlight the historic windows in the long and rectangular space, an L-shaped perimeter design with no upper cabinets was used on the kitchen’s sink side. “It was on purpose because I wanted to keep the whole kitchen really streamlined and simple,” says designer Brian Patrick Flynn.

This view to the laundry room from the home’s spacious hallway shows one of the three transitional-style chandeliers with fabric shades and matte black bodies that illuminate the space and add a touch of elegance.

A Victorian-inspired iron bed in dark gray with a unique spiral design on the headboard and footboard sits center stage in this master bedroom with laidback urban elegance.

A mix of gray and beige with navy blue as an accent creates the on-trend color scheme for this inviting guest bedroom with a sculptural canopy bed that sits center stage.

A soothing color scheme brings a fresh feel to the guest bathroom, to which guest can enjoy easy access from the adjoining guest bedroom and the home’s spacious hallway.

The playful bunk room with orange accents offers a flexible space where two people can sleep comfortably, catch up on reading or work on the laptop.

Designer Brian Patrick Flynn says this bunk room has a traveled feel, with a selection of books and eclectic décor that gives the space a collected look.

This view looking towards the back of the house shows the exterior of the garage constructed from similar materials as the updated Craftsman home with artistic style.

Located below the screened porch, the covered back patio with a white painted brick wall offers a relaxed space for enjoying outdoor meals and views of the upgraded backyard.
