IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO PICK UP A souvenir while abroad. But for one Texas family, this practice runs deeper: The Sayeds spent seven years thoughtfully updating their Dallas home with designer Denise McGaha, principal of Denise McGaha Interiors, all informed by their trips around the world. “As they would go somewhere new, they would get inspiration for a different space,” says McGaha. "The house evolved as a result of that."

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.
