Amanda, owner of On Holiday Design, seamlessly combines budget-friendly items, upscale splurges and flea market finds throughout the home. She's mastered the art of layering bright color into a cool, neutral palette to create an eye-catching, inviting space.Rugs: Ikea; couch and chair: Restoration Hardware; framed life preservers: Irvine flea market; stool: Design Mix Furniture; wall paint: Baby Seal, Dunn-Edwards

A black and white rug is a strong choice in this nautically inspired room. This striped model is similar to Madeline Weinrib's Black Buche carpets and Ikea's Stockholm Rand rug.

StripesBlack and white stripes work almost anywhere with almost any color combination. Trust me.

Kid-friendly leather. It seems counterintuitive, but leather chairs and sofas are actually a great choice when you have kids in the house. Spills wipe right off (of course the sooner you get to them the better), and the scratches and dings that come with age add character. One caveat: For a look with the most longevity, choose something tailored or a classic style like the Chesterfield shown here. Bulky, overly squashy leather pieces can read too bachelor pad.

Gray is a neutral that works beautifully with other neutrals. Walls in Baby Seal DE6361 by Dunn Edwards work brilliantly with the brown saddle leather seating and dashes of black and white in this Newport Beach, California, living room.

This traditional Chesterfield leather suite is softened with a mix of fabrics in ocean colors. Crisp linens and soft velvets in a coastal palette work well with the life-buoy wall art. Shells give the classic chandelier a twist. Rugs in bold, monochromatic stripes ground this room.
