Interior Designer Sara Story shows you a new way to set color to your home. Leave the walls white while you paint the ceiling and floor!

A long narrow room like this kitchen is perfect for some ceiling color. But the deep purple ceiling aside, check out the gorgeous painted pattern on the hardwood floors!

(nice lamp!)

This long and narrow hallway has a yellow painted ceiling. Check out the dot pattern outlining the gray walls!

Another hallway. That bold patterned wallpaper is hot!

Take a look at this multi patterned dining room designed by Sherrill Canet. This room is breaking just about all the rules of pattern combination, and it works surprisingly well!

*

Small, high contrast pattern on both walls and floor. Zebra mirror frame over the fireplace, and pattern-paintings on the wall! The room is accented with yellow, and even the ceiling got that note.

*

Same room with different chairs. I love this horn dining table. Impressing!
