Designer Jillian Harris of Love It or List It Vancouver was in a blue mood when she made over this beachy home. The soothing space features a band of indigo paint that aptly recalls a seaside horizon line; coordinating artwork and drapery and light wood round out the look, but it’s the colour-blocked wall that really pulls it all together.

Give a white kitchen a break, like HGTV designer Sarah Richardson did here. We love how she fully committed to bringing grassy green to the cabinets, even going so far as to add vintage green enamel pendant lights.

Retro-hued stripes straight out of a ’70s palette feel fresh and modern on this funky backsplash by designer Sarah Richardson. We love how the chrome gooseneck faucet and sink add contemporary contrast and bling.

When IKEA introduced its Sektion system, we went gaga over its customization. Another reason to love the line: its Järsta high-gloss orange accent cabinets that provide a fabulous pop of contrast against a white palette. We’re coveting the matching bar stools, too.

We’ve got a crush on this showstopper of a kitchen. The resplendent orange walls and citrus-hued wood make this space just divine. The three large pendant lights bounce the colour around the space.

We love how the bright teal hue on the backsplash matches the dishware inside the glass-front cabinets. It brings us visions of beachy summer days.
