Greet the day in this sunny breakfast room. The three walls of windows allow you to take in the view over your morning coffee.

Why We Love It
This is such an appealing room from Coastal Living, mainly for the view and the way the furniture doesn’t detract from it. Also, the use of double-hung windows and French doors
is a nice nod to traditional building practices.

What Makes It Work
The table and chair frames in a nearly black finish anchor the room and give it definition. Black accents are the spice in
an all-white scheme. Without them, a room looks flat.

Steal This Idea
In a spare room, make sure you splurge on a good chandelier. It's going to get a lot of attention, and you don't want to be
apologizing for it all the time. –Lydia Somerville, Senior Homes Editor, MyHomeIdeas.com
