Neutral Living Room With Lake Views

To give the living room more expansive views of the lake and mountains, designers widened the doorway into the sunroom and added larger windows. On the other side, folding doors now join the room with a screened porch.

Cottage Open Plan Living Room and Dining Room

In this home remodel, designers widened the wall between the living room, the stairwell up from the lower level and the kitchen so that all areas would feel more unified and the chef would get to take part in the entertaining fun. A new cable-style railing for the stairs also keeps sightlines open.
