Comfortable Gathering

Two upholstered wooden armchairs and an ottoman serve as a gathering area.

Caribbean Comfort

To avoid overpowering the room's graphic architectural details with excessive pattern and color, designers chose neutral tones punctuated with blue accents: the palette of sand, sea, and sky. Vases, plush pillows, and a striped throw coordinate with the Caribbean blue-painted rafters above.

Great Divide

To define the kitchen as its own space within the great room, the designers separated it with architectural detailing. Caribbean-inspired decoration such as the turned pine posts and scrollwork over the stove adds interest.

Family Gatherings

The family room is a warm gathering place for families on cold winter days. The texture of fabric-covered love seats contrasts nicely with the cultured stone of the fire place.

Smoky Mountain Retreat

Design elements and accent pieces in rich earth tones and vivid fabrics prove that Western style is alive and well in this log cabin retreat. Cowhide furnishings and hickory floors blend well with the wooden tables, chairs, and desks fashioned by local craftspeople. Pillows and throws exude festive colors and patterns indicative of American Indian and Western life.

Stacking rock, as seen in this mantel, is a widely used building method native to the Appalachian Mountains. Sometimes called the "pancake method," this technique uses mortar that isn't visible, because stonemasons apply it behind the rock.

Holiday Dressing

The Christmas decorations in this Beaufort home, including local greenery and folk-art, reflect the area's coastal heritage. In the living room, shown here, fresh magnolia and cedar drape the mantel. Antique stockings stuffed with vintage tokens hang above a cozy fire.

Vivid Family Room

In the casual living area, a blue leather sofa, a tufted leather bench, and armchairs provide seating. Two square, glass-top lamp tables push together to form a long cocktail table with a shelf underneath for storage. Above the sofa, paintings, in yellows and oranges (by artist Sid Smith) lend a sunny disposition.

Love That Red

Bring a favorite color into your home through accessories or accents such as pillows and throws. Slipcovers offer a dramatic change. Be sure to prewash your fabric before the slipcovers are made to ensure a perfect fit after laundering.

Cool and Contemporary: Family Room

Bold color contrasts reinforce this family room's spare, contemporary lines. The cantilevered gray mantel appears to float in front of the red wall. Bold terra-cotta red surrounds and frames the fireplace wall, which is cast concrete tinted olive gray. The concrete hearth extends along the wall to the right to become a window seat. A plasma television hangs on one wall to free up floor space. Four area rugs were bound together to form a large abstract design that anchors the space.
