“Life is too short to live in a white box,” says designer Grace Mitchell. “I ask my clients, 'When you were a kid, what was the first crayon you always picked out of your Crayola box?' If you loved cornflower blue then, you'll love it today and tomorrow. Don't worry about hating it in 10 years. Enjoy your home now!” For balance, Grace pairs bold cabinets with subdued, mostly white, marble, or quartzite countertops, like in this kitchen.

She also replaced the existing linoleum floors with light-toned black oak floors in a herringbone pattern. Rather than stain, she used Woca Oil by Woca to keep the wood from turning pink.
