beautiful contemporary bedroom ideas image

My husband and I just bought a beautiful 4 br 2 ba home. The whole interior needs a new coat of paint. Any ideas on colors or designs? We both know how to paint but very confused when it comes to interior design. Thanks for help!

Chocolate brown can be quite cozy in a lounge, and you can always lighten it up in the summer by having beige cushions or seat covers.
It really is a matter of taste though, as some people think the colour is ghastly. Don't go for a really dark brown, you might as well paint it all black.
Red's a traditional cozy colour, but can be quite intimidating for males especially in the bedroom.
Whatever colour you do pick, make sure that you can lighten it up for the summer, as unless coupled with beige brown can make a room feel claustrophobic and hot in warm weather.
Light colours or yellows and blues will work for bathrooms. Greens and blues can work if they are not particularly ferocious.
Kitchens should be pale, and neither hot or cold. Try peach/yellow coupled with an assortment of coloured tiles for the walls to add a funky and modern feel that is contemporary and cozy. Make sure the tiles match the paint though!
Hallways should be neutral, as you generally pass through them. Lilacs, reds and oranges work (not together) as they are welcoming. Remember that this is the first room, other than the porch, that your guests will see.
If you have a porch, try mellow and low key colours. It does not need to be welcoming, you only use it to hang coats and put shoes in. Cheap prints can really make a porch feel nice, and make it feel although it is still part of the house without much work on your part.
I mentioned bedrooms and lounges earlier, in the earlier paragraphs. Utility rooms should be light and bright. Guest rooms should be neutral, whites or yellows often work well. You can dress white up with nice furniture to make the room feel more loved.
If in doubt on any room try to focus on curtains/material that you like. Match colours from existing furniture, artwork, upholstery and carpets. You may find this easier.
Modern themes tend to be pale, with bright and funky accessories. Interior designers are currently following the theory that it is the artwork ect that make the room what it is rather than having bright colours on the walls which flit in and out of fashion constantly.

I am having some issues with decorating my master bedroom. Help!?
Jackie W
I have a rather large space (17x17 ft) with a vaulted ceiling that angles up and creates a plant shelf above the door to the master bath. I would like some suggestions on what to do with this shelf area. It is about 12 ft long and 4 ft deep and is about 9 ft from the floor and is 5 ft tall. I would say that our style is "transitional" not too contemporary and not too traditional. Also I am having trouble with the color scheme. Our furniture is dark cherry, our bedding is khaki and creme striped and the carpet is beige. The walls are currently khaki and all of the neutrals are starting to get to me!! I would like to add some color but with such large walls I am afraid of being overwhelmed. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

i would probably fill the space above the door with a sculpture of some sort (try pier one or bombay company). i think that maybe some light grayish tones with hints of blue would look very nice on your walls to complement the contemporary side. otherwise you should go your local paint store and pick up some paint swatches or even some sample colors that you can actually paint on your wall to try.
this website provides some beautiful colors and ideas. for your situation i would suggest checking out the urban loft, whitewash and thoroughbred colors.
