A DRAMATIC STAGE IS SET
Black or near black walls create a powerful backdrop for bedroom headboards, dining room tables and bathroom vanities. In most cases, the drama focuses on one wall in these rooms, while a soft white paint often covers the remaining surfaces.

MAKING HOME WORK
Rather than delegating these spaces to a lower level or an upstairs bedroom, today’s home offices are given a more prominent location with ample windows and a position near the front entry. Interior designers are reporting that his and her offices are in the top of the list of client requests.

LUSTING OVER LOWER LEVELS
Decked-out lower levels leave us wanting more from our unfinished, or partially finished basement. Sophisticated lounge spaces, glass-walled exercise areas, bars, wine storage and game rooms provide attractive options for every member of the family.

MAKING IT CLEAR
Transparent walls and doors showcase a space or provide additional light. Exercise rooms on display behind a glass wall open up to nearby activities. Offices and bonus rooms located in the lower level may feel a bit less cramped thanks to one of their walls or door being made of glass.

OUTDOORS GET EVEN GREATER
Decks, patios and pools have always been in fashion, but in the past few years, homeowners have been taking things up a notch—or three. Outdoor rooms have structural ceilings, solid tiled floors, fireplaces and cover a considerable amount of square footage, often traversing the entire back expanse of the home.

KITCHENS WITHIN KITCHENS
Call them what you will: messy kitchens, butler pantries, or catering kitchens, these small but mighty rooms often include a second refrigerator, dishwasher and sink. Plenty of storage is a must. Coffee makers and microwaves may find their home here too.

WALLS THAT PACK A PUNCH
While many of us have been taught to play it safe when it comes to home decorating, it’s fun to see powerful prints on accent walls. Pops of color in the form of bold solids or lively prints are a conversation point in and of themselves. If the goal is to keep things neutral, you can still add a textured paper or a simple pattern to give the room a bit of dimension.
