Carve Out Functional Space
This area is really just a wide hallway between rooms, but Mallory made the dining zone feel intentional by anchoring it with a pendant light. To avoid a tripping hazard in a high-traffic spot, she skipped putting down a rug.
Lean Into Wood
Natural finishes on cabinetry and molding are making a comeback, so if you’ve got it, flaunt it. Warm red, mustard, and amber accents pair nicely with the stained oak trim and flooring.
Go Bold But Bite-Size
Rather than overwhelm the small space with pattern, Mallory used the wallpaper on a single wall and painted the others a corresponding creamy shade.
