The dark hardwood floors of this transitional kitchen are balanced our by the rest of the room's paler shades. White subway tile and cabinets feel clean and fresh. Over the island, two glass pendants float like bubbles.

Designers made this traditional breakfast room a lovely place to start the day. A built-in china cabinet and buffet are painted in a beautiful shade of blue. Under the round dining table, a large pink area rug (with a few bits of blue) adds warmth and softness.

Brass and wood are beautiful pairings with this dining room's tasteful brown palette. The space feels at once sophisticated and serene. The rug is the only touch of pattern.

This foyer's gorgeous table and mirror are inherited chinoiserie pieces. Detailed scenes are shown in gold against a black lacquer background. The showstopping pair are combined with the simplest possible accessories to let their artistry shine.
