By leaning into more playful patterns and colors, this layout makes a bold statement, while still maintaining a clean and fresh atmosphere. Why not infuse your space with bits and pieces of The Highlands model home? Read on to find out how you can do exactly that.
Living Room
Striking and eye-caching décor pieces are a great way to liven up any space, and by placing them strategically, they can help balance the energy of the room. In this space, the rich orange hues in the throw pillows bring out those same tones in the wall art, but are complemented nicely by the more neutral Ashen paint color by PPG Paints.

Kitchen
All-white cabinetry helps to open up the space, creating an elevated and timeless look. Using neutral tones sparingly throughout will help to balance out the stark white accents and add warmth. Here you can see how the champagne bronze accents on the hardware and bar stools add a nice touch to the space.

The delicate balance between the various focal points and more subdued elements help to elevate the energy of the room without it feeling overpowering.
