1 Tell an intentional color story Brooks tells a story of light and dark by pairing charcoal gray with the room’s natural light sources. On the skylights, she uses dark charcoal gray room-darkening solar-powered blinds that block the light, and her window treatments feature dark gray as a base color. Find lighter grays on the upholstered headboard, club chairs, textiles and area rug that help tie the color story together. 2 Make the most of the fifth wall In the HGTV Smart Home 2018 master bedroom, Brooks combined four VELUX No Leak Solar Powered “Fresh Air” Skylights with an exposed wood beam at the peak of the vaulted ceiling.

My friend Ana called the other day because she had just bought a house and wanted to talk paint colors. Her new house is nothing like her old one, which was a cute little cottage with cute little rooms. Her new home is open plan all the way—you can see the living room from the kitchen from the entryway. “I’m thinking light gray on the walls,” she said. “Nope,” I countered. “I know you—you’re gonna want pops of color everywhere, so go with white walls. They make everything pop.” Ana’s sending me some white paint chips to look over. “You’re right,” she said. “I have to have pops!” This Pop of Color issue (our fourth!) is dedicated to all the Anas out there who can’t-stop-won’t-stop decorating with bright, happy accessories.…
