Palette Pleasers
Neutrals are, well, neutral—they blend in with everything. But some design enthusiasts prefer to stand out. “Our clients’ appetite for color has increased in the last year as they look to embrace their personal inspiration and preferences versus planning for resale,” says designer Emilie Munroe of Studio Munroe. Striking and chic, colorful cabinetry can do the heavy lifting in a renovation, setting a tone and making the space look carefully considered and beautifully finished. Play up the mood by matching cabinets to the window trim, island, and appliances. And remember, a colorful kitchen is vivid and versatile. Should you decide to switch up your space, all you need is a fresh coat of paint

Pave the Way
WHAT GOOD IS A BACKYARD IF YOU DON'T USE IT AS AN EXTENSION OF YOUR HOME? MADE OF long-lasting materials like stone or cement set right into the ground, patios are the perfect way to gently activate an outdoor area for gathering. (And \"you'll save on water consumption as opposed to maintaining a lawn,\" designer Kate Anne Gross points out.) Lounge in fresh air, enjoy a meal under the stars, or chat with loved ones by the fire-without worrying about tracking mud into the house. Integrated as part of the landscape, patios endure beautifully with minimal upkeep, and there are countless ways to create them: Flip the page to see how designers do it. -Kelly Allen
