- Consider using a grayish beige paint like Benjamin Moore's Pale Oak to maintain a bright and cohesive look in a space with significant natural wood elements.
- Avoid creating a tile "carpet" under the kitchen island and instead use wood flooring throughout to maintain visual unity and make the space look larger.
- For the deep-set windows, install a rod from side to side within the window box and use sheer drapes to add softness and color without sacrificing much light.
