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 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

Photos of your room:












Items you want to keep:

Room Label:
My Combined Living/Dining
I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral:
Feminine
What type of sunlight does this room receive?:
Mid-day light
What do you currently dislike about the room?:
It's a new townhouse, so its all basically white/grey at this point. The walls are a neutral grey color (Sherwin William First Star SW 7646) and the floors are brown with some grey tint. I won't be changing any of the wall, floors or cabinets even though I lean more towards something more bold/colorful. So I'm hoping to incorporate color through the furnishings/decor.
I'm basically starting from scratch!
I'm basically starting from scratch!
What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?:
I only brought a few things with me when I moved. I have a sofa that I'd like to keep, and a rug that I would like to try to add to the room, but it's not a must have. I have a ton of wall decor, some small accent tables, and some objects I would like to incorporate. I can take better pictures of those later, I have them mostly packed away for now. I've added a photo of my office currently, with the sofa and rug. I will take better pics per the instructions later.
Are you open to changing your wall colors?:
No
Are you open to changing your floor covering?:
No
Attach a floor plan:
Additional comments to designers:
As my home is in the final stages of completion, I will have better photos of the existing space at a later time.
