Western Massachusetts is the setting for this design/build by Tsao & McKown Architects. And it’s all about the view. The 7,000-square-foot house lies on 20 acres, so the floor plan maximizes what can be seen through the windows. Inside, a palette of celadon, bone, ivory, chalk, linen, and wheat whisper differently in every season, absorbing and reflecting the greens of spring and summer or complementing the browns and grays of winter.

A welcoming, cradle-like day bed is upholstered in a pale purple that beautifully ties in with the home’s color scheme. The dark, plummy, and plush rug anchors the lighter furnishings, providing some exciting contrast in the process.
