Top 20 Winner: Best Use of Color Indoors

Homeowner Susan Kraft mixed vintage furnishings and accents with new pieces in her home and then used hefty doses of bold color to tie the look together. Her efforts won her the top prize in the Best Use of Color Indoors category of Better Homes and Gardens' Top 20 Home Improvement Contest.

Bring a Room Alive with Color

This bright and colorful living room features a simple combo of just two colors: green and gold. The warm palette is a perfect complement to Susan's interesting mix of old and new furnishings. "I'm not real strict about eras," she says. "If I like something, I try to incorporate it. The colors and fabrics pull everything together and make it all work." The armchairs, which belonged to Susan's mother, were re-covered to match the decor. The window treatment is embellished with holiday ornaments hung from ribbon.
