This family room is open to the kitchen and breakfast nook. The Global Views peacock pattern area rug introduces the vibrant green and turquoise tones used throughout the space. Geometric blue and white lounge chairs play on the pattern of the area rug and the bookshelf wallpaper. Wallpapering the backs of your bookshelves adds an extra layer of style. The drapery fabric is the same as the kitchen roman shades to create cohesion between the spaces. Photography: Vivian Johnson

In this 1970s basement makeover, the wood paneling had to go! Drywall and a soothing wall color give this basement a sophisticated look. DIY wall art, embellished window treatments, and the adjustable coffee table complete the look.
