A preppy pairing in high gloss defines and energizes the all-time tiniest nook. For a wee, windowless room like this one, choose paints in pearly or glossy finishes. They reflect light and make even the most minuscule spot feel brighter and more spacious. -Domino
Go for a deep aqua tone of blue for the walls, as it's a warm shade of the color. Mix with darker blue furniture and off-white pieces to create balance, and accents of taupe will bring richness to the scheme. Dark wood is also good for adding depth and hints of bright pink will lift the room. -House to Home
Modern style vintage accessories are popular and easy to get hold of nowadays, and they give a modern kitchen a quirky edge. -LivingEtc
You can't help but love a bathroom where it feels like you are swimming in the ocean. -House Beautiful
Clever storage solutions, fresh linen and a beautiful bed will brighten a tired bedroom. Lined baskets perched on the wardrobe, white runners covering bedside tables and ottomans adorned with decorative trays all maximize the space.

A small space can be just as restorative as a large one -- and color is the main ingredient for setting a peaceful mood. In this bungalow bathroom in Seattle, the mix of materials is limited to two colors: cool blue (which is calming and evokes natural elements) and warm cream (which suggests coziness and comfort). The effect is the visual equivalent of a long, cool drink of water. At the vanity, chrome towel rings, unadorned mirrors, and other minimal accents add to the peaceful mood.
The blue tint of the frosted-glass shower surround stays in step with the wall color, while the translucency of the glass allows light into the shower and adds to the open feel. The shower's half-wall creates the perfect shelf for pampering products. -Cottage Living

“I really love lots of light, so I don’t use curtains very much,” she says. An exception is the master bedroom, where turquoise accessories, including curtains rendered in a turquoise, lime and hot pink Designers Guild fabric, provide a brilliant contrast to the white-on-white space. -At Home in Fairfield County
