green onyx BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS “For my clients’ 1920s home, I had in mind a color that felt historic and modern. This green delivers! Popular in that era, it looks like copper patina, yet next to the dark hood and brass accents, it’s fresh and spring-y.” —Micaela Quinton, @copperskydesignremodel, Atlanta, GA alchemist BY HGTV HOME BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS “When I saw this yellow on an apron in IKEA, I knew it was the ideal sunny-but-not-blinding shade for the tiny bathroom in an RV we rent out that sits on our farm. I freehanded the mural with a level and a coffee cup lid. Guests have asked about the color so often that I might need to include it in our listing!” —Else Kerkmann, @else.kerkmann, Bend, OR kendall charcoal BY BENJAMIN MOORE “Tons…

pink is cheerful When designer Maude Coudé’s client wondered if the thrill of a pink kitchen would wear off, she had one response: “How can you get tired of a color that happy?!” Millennial pink has been brightening homes and spirits since it became a thing five years ago. In this Montreal space, blush cabinets and rosy pendants are fun on fun. pink says “welcome!” Bugbite lotion isn’t on most people’s mood boards, but Calamine by Farrow & Ball is just what the designer ordered for a dark oak door on a Prior Lake, MN, house. “It evokes the same childhood comfort, and it makes you feel good,” says designer Gabriela Laboy.

Measure the room’s length and width; say it’s 10 by 14 feet. Add the numbers, then change “feet” to “inches” and you get 24 inches. That’s your minimum size: “Bigger beats wimpy every time,” says designer Paloma Contreras, who has a line for Visual Comfort. Before the install: Pick up a dimmer—a must for having relaxed dinners. Sconces may have once had a bit of a stuffy rep, but they’re totally busting…

Whenever Wendy Conklin is clothes shopping, she runs into the same challenge. “I see a great pattern on a top or a dress and I think, I wish I could upholster something with that!” says Wendy, the designer behind Chair Whimsy. Unique fabric, wallpaper, and paint colors abound in the 2,840-square-foot Victorian in Austin, TX, that she shares with her husband, Blane. To Wendy, every textile, every vintage furniture find, every piece of art tells a story—the knockout wallpaper she discovered after hours of scrolling, the settee she drove across the state to get, the paintings done by her adult daughter. “Life is too short not to surround yourself with spaces you’ve lovingly created and put yourself into,” she says. “It brings a lot of joy.” “Any place can be…

for two decades, Dana Smith made do with a miniscule kitchen in the Bellflower, CA, home she bought after her divorce. At just under 100 square feet, “it was barely large enough to cook in, let alone chop anything,” she says. Dana and her then 3-year-old son, Christopher, dined at a little table at first. “When he got bigger, it was more comfortable to eat on the living room couch.” Cut to 2020: After spending more time than ever cooking at home during the pandemic, she was raring to redo. Dana worked with designer Linda Hayslett to put an addition onto the house that nearly tripled the kitchen’s size. “I like having people hang out at the banquette while I cook,” says Dana. “Especially Christopher, when he visits—at last he…
