9. Understated Gray With Dashes of Gold
The chevron detail of the built-in wall unit in this Seattle home is just one choice of architect Dana Webber that shines. Other elements, such as saturated gray paint (Graphite by Benjamin Moore), natural stone flooring, a casual cushion print and rich gold hooks, all work together to achieve a layered but cohesive vibe.

8. Nautical Charm
Eclectic finds like a round mirror with a textured frame, a curved console table, a rustic pendant and a bohemian-style bench cushion balance one another out in this breezy California entry. Designer Courtney Thomas chose a crisp nautical blue (Novelty Navy by Dunn-Edwards Paints) for the Dutch door to embrace the home’s seaside views.
Plus, nothing says “welcome home” quite like an adorable dog waiting on the doormat.

7. Everything in Its Place
This Pennsylvania entry is all about smart storage. Custom Shaker-style cabinetry, drawers and cubbies painted a warm gray keep coats, bags and other odds and ends tucked away. Brickwork and a natural woven rug underfoot add texture to anchor the room, designed by Lisa Furey Interiors.

6. Airy With Attention to Detail
Designer Lauren Nelson kept things deceptively simple in this San Francisco-area home. A raw wood bench and textural wreath soften the otherwise clean lines. A rich graphic rug, custom door and gallery wall provide additional texture and personality. And a vintage-style chandelier, glittering in the abundant natural light, elevates the room with a touch of sophistication.

5. Farmhouse Red
Just inside the bold red front doors of this upstate New York farmhouse, glossy solid oak floors and a traditional staircase with a contemporary twist greet visitors.
Architect Jimmy Crisp, who worked on the house with interior design firm Chango & Co. and Structure Works Construction, says he was going for something bright and energetic with a lot of contrast.
The statement-making door (painted in Heritage Red by Benjamin Moore), with its extra-large glass panes and accompanying transom, offers views of the surrounding countryside and plenty of light.

4. Convenient Cubbies and a Dutch Door
Elsewhere in the same upstate New York home, this alternative entry — the fourth-most-popular in our countdown — is pretty and practical. Crisp and his fellow design pros made the most of the space with a built-in bench unit, sturdy tile floors and a Dutch door with a view.

3. Wood, White and Green
Light wood flooring, white wide-plank shiplap walls, black accents and a dramatic emerald green barn door put the modern in this modern Idaho farmhouse. Designer Kerri Ramey of Solitude Homes picked out the eye-catching color palette. Against the bright white, the textural black and green pieces really pop.
