Bailey Ward successfully intertwines beauty and function with her curated closet. The “hers” closet boasts sweet splashes of color mixed with brass accents and natural textures. We also adore the mixture of closed and open storage — a must when you want certain pieces displayed and others kept out of sight.PinThis fabulous closet by Bailey Ward marries beauty and function.Chris Holt’s primary bedroom embraces the room’s abundance of natural light. His modern take feels contemporary yet cozy. The stark white walls provide a crisp canvas for art and accessories, and added greenery exudes holiday happiness.

Another notable area is Anna-Louise Wolfe’s outdoor living space.
