We brought beige, grey and rich wood tones together in the calming master retreat of this West Side Vancouver home. A play of textures including velvet, linen, crystal, woods and metals provide lots of interest to offset the muted colour palette. Interior Decorating by Lori Steeves of Simply Home Decorating.

Photo: Sarah Greenman © 2013 Houzz Rieves has a bungalow style home with a large front porch where she can share her decorations with the neighborhood. Autumnal throw pillows on the porch swing can be used throughout the season even after Halloween has come and gone. A table lamp gives the porch the cozy feel of an indoor space. It sits atop a 1930's era table purchased from an antique mall in Forney, Texas. Paint color: Spanish Moss, Restoration Hardware; paint: Sherwin Williams

This custom home in the Tetherow Golf community was a design in collaboration with High Timber Construction. The home incorporates a great indoor/outdoor "man cave" with a garage that opens up to a patio and courtyard. Custom finishes and furnishings were chosen throughout with a soft, muted palette to create a calm and relaxing feel.
