In the Leschi neighborhood of Seattle, designer Kenna Stout of Brio Interior Design updated a Four Square-style house originally built in 1916. Four Square homes were innovated in reaction to the excesses of Revival architecture, as turn-of-the-century builders returned to understated exteriors, and Kenna brings this American sense of simplicity to the renovated property. Within the home, shapes are classic and lines are clean, while rich colors and engaging wall patterns bring unexpected glamour to the overall design. Explore the home here.
Chic navy cabinetry sets the tone for the kitchen, especially when paired with the Moroccan tile floor pattern from Ann Sacks and mixed metal accents. The subway tile of the backsplash is also from Ann Sacks. The cabinetry was designed by Kenna and built by J Wanamaker Cabinetry, a cabinet maker based in Seattle, while the cabinet hardware comes from Alno. Rejuvenation shelves display artful personal objects and a mélange of plants.

For the children's bath, Kenna approached the space with a distinctly contemporary style. A transparent acrylic finish gives the Kartell mirrors a fluorescent pink glow, which stands out against the white backsplash from Daltile. The pendant lights above the mirrors are from Schoolhouse.
