A full, down-to-the studs renovation that included the removal of a large bathtub and a partial wall. The shower was relocated to directly beneath a skylight, and a small space that previously housed a shower became a linen closet. A new vanity features a built-in hamper and accessory drawers for maximum efficiency of space. Style influence. The homeowner, whom designer and builder Paul Linnebach describes as “bright, warm and full of life,” loves traveling and Asian style. For the design, Linnebach took inspiration from his own travels to Bali, Indonesia, “where the showers and bathrooms are so connected and a part of the surrounding nature,” he says.

4. In the RoundRound dining tables are more casual and conversation-encouraging than rectangular ones. The placement of this dining space makes it versatile. It can serve as catch-as-catch-can breakfast nook and, with some changes to the lighting scheme, a formal dinner spot. Takeaway: Upholstered chairs keep diners comfortable and able to sit and chat for hours. Browse round dining tables
2. Finding the right mix. To choose the color of the island, one of the homeowner’s of this kitchen spent many hours on Houzz, sending photos of green, blue and gray cabinets to designer Christine Sheldon until the two finally landed on soft blues. Once they narrowed the choices to three, Sheldon painted those colors on the cabinet surface and then had the colors tinted until she hit on just the right mix. The final paint color is a custom mix from Benjamin Moore. Find kitchen designers in your area
