Designers: Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent Design duo Berkus and Brent have partnered on their first product collaboration: a furniture collection for Living Spaces. The pair used some of those pieces to divide the large, open floor plan into more intimate zones. Designer: Donna Garlough The style director of Joss & Main used tips from her book, Your Home, Your Style, throughout the cooking space. Even a functional room like this should be given decorative flourishes, she says, such as framed art leaned against the backsplash. Designer: Shea McGee Feel free to mix metals in a space like this, says the Salt Lake City, Utah-based designer. In fact, the variety prevents the room from feeling one-note. The key, she explains, is to “separate metals by height.” Here, the lamps at eye level are nickle, while the nightstand knobs are brass. Designer: Robin Henry Studio The New York City-based designer gave the ceiling a high-gloss paint job in a subtle blue shade “to draw the eye up and through the space,” she says. The glossy finish will highlight any irregularities in the surface, she says, so it’s best to hire a pro. Designer: Sabrina Soto The designer and TV personality wanted this windowless room to feel lively and personal while still supplying smart storage. An inexpensive countertop above the appliances optimizes the usable surface area for folding. Learn more of Soto’s money-saving hacks for a luxe laundry room. Designer: Jessica McCarthy The interior designer and creative director at Decorist aimed to create a space that would appeal to any visitor. Blue is a particularly soothing shade for a bedroom, but if you’re wary of color, McCarthy suggests keeping “the bones of the space neutral and incorporating color through accessories.” Designer: Ariel Okin The premier designer for Homepolish opted for elegant finishes with a practical execution. The sisal rug, for example, has a subtle pattern and is super durable and easy to clean. Designer: Jenny Komenda The interior designer and founder of Juniper Studio was inspired by her own 10-year-old daughter when planning out this kid’s space. “The trick to designing for a growing child,” she says, “is to invest in furniture you can see them using as adults. The accessories and soft goods are what make the space feel youthful.” Designer: Stephanie Sisco Real Simple’s home editor made this sprawling outdoor space more manageable by dividing it into smaller sections (one for lounging, one for entertaining). Potted greenery creates barriers between zones and adds extra privacy. Move the plants around to switch up your arrangement as needed. Not sure what to plant? Here are 5 low-maintenance outdoor plants perfect for decks and patios.
