Here, threshold separates gray tile from the wooden hallway beyond and serves to distinctly divide the two rooms.

Lighterwood cabinets, which are present in both the kitchen and beyond, maintain a sense of cohesiveness.

Painting the walls white also adds a touch of simplicity to the adjoining dining room.

Here, terrazzo tile makes a bold statement when used on both the floors and backsplash.

The adjoining wood floor also boasts a decorative pattern yet one that is entirely different from this speckled design.

The traditional style pairs nicely with the original warm wooden flooring throughout the rest of the space.
