Museums and galleries often use light-colored monochromatic walls as backdrops because they visually recede, allowing the art to dominate. Here, by combining more than 60 family photographs and artwork in a single grouping, these homeowners created a vivid accent wall.

These frames are all black or brown and are roughly the same size, which helps unify the collection, turning it into a single large composition. A larger piece of art--similarly framed in dark wood--hangs in a niche at the far end of the hall to create an additional focal point.

Outdoor Paradise
Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel. To the left, an enclosed room that's used for storing outdoor equipment takes up another eight feet. - Integrated Cabinets
