3. Spotlight accents
Give traditional spaces, such as this
combined kitchen and breakfast
room, life by adding personality
pieces. “Rooms might be tastefully
done but can fall flat without an
element of surprise,” Andrew says.
“I chose this dandelion fixture for its
sculptural quality.”
4. Create cohesion
A pared-down color palette unites

cabinets,
left,
and built-in desk,
above,
white. He added green glass
knobs for fun. Yellow walls
(Sherwin-Williams’ Luscious Yellow
SW
1680
), pale blue glass tile, and
hits of orange pull the areas of the
room together as one space.
