Elegant Contemporary

Vaulted ceilings and neutral colors help make this house a refuge from outside concerns.

By Lincoln Barbour

To me, this home embodies relaxed elegance. Its warm neutral color palette invokes a calming vibe. The openness of the rooms also adds for great flow. Though not a very large space, the vaulted ceilings give the impression of a much grander home. Design by Taryn Emerson Interiors.
