4. Step Inside a Stylish, Compact London Row House and Yard
London designer Yoko Kloeden remodeled this compact Victorian row house for a family of four. She extended the house to the side and rear to expand the kitchen and add lots of sleek oak cabinets that maximize storage. Bifold glass doors completely open the kitchen to an updated back deck, allowing the homeowners to push a rolling kitchen island outside to act as a serving table. On the deck, a large vertical garden creates a lush backdrop and conceals a neighbor’s unsightly brick wall. Elsewhere in the home, neutral colors and vintage pieces create an inviting atmosphere.

3. Tour a French Country-Style Home With Layers of Creamy Tones
A Houston-area empty-nest couple tasked designer Ayca Stiffel of By Design Interiors with creating interiors in their custom home that embody a modernized version of French country style. To do that, Stiffel took inspiration from the couple’s artwork to develop a palette that layers warm, creamy tones with hits of greenish blue, a favorite color of one of the homeowners. The soothing color scheme softens the home’s French country architectural details, which include arched windows and doorways and an oversize wood range hood in the kitchen.
Stiffel anchored the kitchen with two teal islands amid soft white cabinets and two types of creamy quartzite countertops. Two shapes of zellige backsplash tile incorporate varying cream tones as well. And she continued the layered approach in the main bathroom, which features marble-look porcelain slab countertops and shower walls.

2. Peek Inside a Custom Home That Elegantly Mixes Old and New
When a California couple needed help finishing the interiors of their new-build home in Austin, Texas, they hired designer Sara Barney of Bandd Design Interiors to tease out a style that married one’s love of traditional with the other’s preference for something more contemporary. And with three young kids and a dog, they needed the spaces to be livable and durable.
Barney worked with the couple mostly remotely, using Houzz Pro software to manage the project. In a great room, she played with subdued color palettes and patterns for a traditional look, then mixed traditional furniture shapes with a few modern pieces, like a pair of white plaster coffee tables, to create a sophisticated transitional style.
In the kitchen, elegant quartzite countertops and slab backsplash join light wood upper cabinets and wall sconces for a traditional feel, while blue lower cabinets deliver a more playful vibe.
