White Transitional Kitchen With Gray Range Hood

Originally, the kitchen was dark and lacked counter space. Designers added more storage and areas to prep meals. White walls and countertops bounce sunlight around the room.

Before: Dark and Small Kitchen

Pre-makeover, the kitchen was dark and didn't have enough storage or countertop space.

White Transitional Kitchen With White Flowers

Designers changed the structure of the kitchen to improve flow in between it and the adjacent dining room. They also added countertops and cabinets along one entire wall.

Before: Gloomy Room

It was hard for the family to know how best to use the rooms, given the original home's strange layout.

Gray Contemporary Dining Room With Pink Flowers

The wallpaper in the dining room creates an attractive sense of movement and depth in the space. The chairs are another exciting layer, their sculptural shape standing out against the table's simplicity.

Contemporary White Dining Room With Pink Flowers

The homeowners love to entertain, whether it be friends or family. So, designers established a dining room that was casual and inviting yet formal enough to be able to host holiday meals.

Before: Closed Off Living Room

Homeowners wanted their living room to be a place that would be practical for the whole family and be somewhere they could also host friends. Originally, the layout was choppy and broken up strangely.

Transitional Neutral Living Room With Orange Throw

A nubby sectional in the living room gives the family somewhere cozy to curl up when watching sports and movies.

Before: Dreary Living Room

The white brick fireplace was appealing, but the homeowners wanted to cozy up the living room and turn it into a place they could entertain and watch sports with friends and family.

White Transitional Living Room With Black Coffee Table

In the living room, designers brought in lots of concealed storage. A round coffee table and soft sectional are kid-friendly and cozy for movie nights.

Living Room With Round Leather Ottoman

The wife of the family liked a modern, airy look and the husband preferred leather and midcentury modern styles. Designers found common ground by incorporating pops of leather and earth tones amidst lighter spaces.

Neutral Dining Area With Black Tulip Table

The home's original layout lacked fluidity, so the designers created zones with dedicated areas for eating and hanging out.

Before: Uninspired Home Office

Before the renovation, designers noticed that the house had a choppy layout with no easy flow from room to room.

Neutral Transitional Playroom With Teepee

Designers planned this room for the family's two boys, a dedicated playroom that's close enough to the home's main living areas for the parents to be able to keep watch.

Neutral Transitional Home Office With Floral Chair

The home's redesign needed to include home offices for both parents. Here, a light-colored wood desk gets to bask in sunlight beneath the windows.

Before: Drab Bedroom

Before the makeover, the primary bedroom lacked any sense of personality.

Neutral Transitional Bedroom With Leather Stools

The bedroom's neutral color scheme is perked up by brass touches, soft textures and a little bit of pattern. Leather stools at the foot of the bed are a nod to the husband's tastes.

Before: Bland Bathroom With Small Shower

The bathroom was small and bland with uninspired tiles and no shower door for the walk-in shower.

Neutral Transitional Bathroom With Wood Vanity

The cinnamon-colored wood vanity in the bathroom is a little masculine for the husband, and for the wife, the room is neutral and airy with plenty of natural light.

Neutral Transitional Bathroom With Diamond Floor

In the primary bathroom, designers selected a large-scale diamond pattern for the floor tile and small-scale diamonds to go on the floor of the shower. Golden fixtures are a lovely complement to the tiles' creams and grays.
