Contemporary Home Interior and Neutral Nursery Project Description
Buying condo, want to make smart efficient design upgrades in all roomsWe just bought a new condo, closing is this Thursday. For now, we would like help designing our child's room, an 8month old girl. The room is approximately 12'x12'. We'd like something modern, chic, minimalist. Color themes we're thinking gray and blush/light pink. We're starting from scratch, so we'd need ideas for everything from furniture to paint to accessories.

Morning light Additional comments to designers
For this room, we'd like to make smart, efficient, cost-effective upgrades/design so that it feels more modern (condo was built in the 80's, want it to feel/look newer), but also try to add value to the condo as our plan is to ultimately move to a newer larger space in 2-4yrs. For this room, we'd certainly like a less cluttered feel. We are planning to mount the TV above the fireplace. We are open to replacing/adding some of the furniture. The room is around 13ft wide x 28ft long x 9ft high. This room faces east/southeast. Photos of your room

Feminine Additional comments to designers
Nursery: this room is 12' from window to entrance door by 11'wide. There's a small closet, 2' x 18inches deep. There's another little closer shaped like a triangle ~2.5ft x 1.5ft.The room is already a light gray color.
We are very open for this space, would like to have developed from scratch, with new furniture. We'd like a modern, minimalist design, featuring grey and pink, and we'd like to make it girly/feminine. We would like to occasionally use it as a guest room as well, so a small bed or convertible couch would be great. We'd like to customize the closets as well so we have an organized space for her clothes and toys. This room has hardwood flooring. We'd like some sort of rubber/foam play mat and then a nice plush rug/carpet/mat on top of it in the center. We'll need some sort of blackout shade with nice curtains as that room gets a lot of sunlight (room faces west-southwest).
The only lighting in that room right now is the standing lamp, so we are open to installing lights or adding more lamps.
We can make it more colorful, still with gray and pink as the primary colors, but also add other accents that fit the theme.

Living Room:
Since your room gets plenty of sunlight your color options are quite broad.
For your main color, we chose to use white/off-white as it offers a fresh, clean, feel to the space. White and off-white colors are often a favorite for walls because they are light, neutral, and match most color schemes. They are known to make rooms feel more airy and spacious.
Use a flat or low-sheen finish paint for the accent wall behind the television wall unit to provide a rich matte finish.

Use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish
