Room Label
My Combined Living/Dining I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral
Masculine What type of sunlight does this room receive?
Mid-day light What do you currently dislike about the room?
The room does not feel finished. There are too many hard lines, need some draperies to soften the edges and need to add color. Interested in dark walls, somewhat of a midnight blue. I have beautiful ceiling details.(picture coming) I would like a new sofa and area rug, open to more seating. My design style is a modern library, masculine with a hint of femininity to contrast the the hard lines of modernism. I want a home that feels comfortable and welcoming. The window bring in a lot of light throughout the day. I definitely need new lighting fixtures that are cohesive but not two of the same. There are built-ins on each side of fireplace I will be keeping my artwork, but may move some around. I would like the large 32" x 32" painting to move over the fireplace. What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?
There are a few pieces of furniture I would like in the space. 1. Coffee Table 36" Diameter
2. Dining Table 48" Diameter
3. Two Side Chairs 28" H v 30" W (would like recovered)
4. Large Plant
5. Artwork: Painting 32" x 32" (photo coming)
Are you open to changing your wall colors?
Yes Do you have a preference for either paint or wall covering, or are you open to both?
Paint Are you open to changing your floor covering?
No Attach a floor plan

Combined Living/Dining:
Since your room is smaller using a dark and rich color will make it feel cozy, warm, and lounge-like
For your main color, we chose to use dark blue because it is authoritative, sophisticated, and powerful. It is a good neutral counterpart to any other color.
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
