The Family Room and Kitchen“The goal was to create a natural connection between family activities while giving spaces for cooking, family dining and hanging out distinct identities,” DeForest says. “Family rooms in older homes are often relegated to an isolated corner. In this one, it is designed to be the hub of everyday life. It is connected to the kitchen, breakfast nook, family entry and stairs.” In addition to the generous seating area, a wall of cabinets conceals two homework stations and abundant storage.The kitchen: The kitchen fits in seamlessly with its quiet materials palette. The cabinets are rift-cut white oak and the counters and backsplash are a quartz composite by Pental. A station in front of the windows provides a perch with a view for getting work done. It also has a sink and can serve as a wet bar and buffet.

Elegance and minimalism are often used in the same breath, but they aren’t the same thing. True minimalism is introspective and disciplined, and relies on deliberate scarcity for effect. Elegance has more generosity, aiming to delight both decorator and observer. This living room, while minimally furnished, oozes elegance. Without the distraction of clutter, it’s calm and inviting, with warmth and comfort that come from colors and textures.How to Declutter Without Going Minimalist
