Project Title:
Cool and Mid Century Modern Home
Project Description:
We recently closed on our house and need help with designing the combined living and dining area and the entryway to the stairway. We prefer a clean bright modern/contemporary style with touches of real wood and dislike clutter. The living/dining area has great lighting with a city skyline view and the design should take advantage of the outdoor view and surrounding greenery that is visible.
The entryway to the stairs is adjacent to the living/dining so the design should transition well. The entryway area has a small nook and is dark, and we would like to brighten up the area and make it feel relaxing.
We do not want to change any floorplans and would like to keep the same blueprint. We like neutral colors as the main focus, natural light, and real plants, and dislike bright colors. We prefer higher quality furniture that will last, and preferably kid friendly sofa/coffee table (we have a toddler).

Since your room gets plenty of sunlight your color options are quite broad.
For your main color, I chose to use 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 matte finish paint because it will be helpful in camouflaging those surface imperfections such as bumps and cracks as it does not reflect light. Just be careful because matte finish is more difficult to clean. You may also need to touch up scratches or marks by adding more of the same paint in the future.
