White Contemporary Living Room Project Description
My Mom lives in a very small 1 bed at 30 Dalton St. in Boston and need help decorating the whole living room. We are looking for a minimalist, scandinavian inspired, organic, simple, clean, sparse design.
The best part of the apartment is the gorgeous views. We want the design to accentuate the views.
She needs a coach/daybed, small dining table and 2 chairs, desk and storage. She doesn't want too much furniture since it's such a small space.
She prefers lots of White's, natural wood tones or walnut, greys, plants. Perhaps accent color she likes yellow.
She doesn't like chrome or sharp pointy angles.
Since it's a rental she can't paint the walls.

My living room I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral
Feminine What type of sunlight does this room receive?
Mid-day light What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?
We want all new furniture and accessories.My Mom is 5 foot 2, so she likes firm and small furniture. She doesn't like cushy furniture.
We are thinking about putting a couch/daybed where the current daybed is.
My Mom would like a couch/daybed that is firm and not deep.
We thinking about putting a small white marble Saarinen table near the window with 2 wishbone chairs. She needs small height chairs so her feet can reach the floor when she sits. We are open to other ideas or chairs.
We are thinking about putting a white desk where the current desk is. Also we are thinking of putting closed shelving above the desk. She will put her Apple Computer on the desk. We are open to other ideas.
My Mom doesn't need a coffee table, area rug, or other big chairs, but she's open to it if you suggest it.
Are you open to changing your wall colors?

Yes, Area Rugs Attach a floor plan
Additional comments to designers
She's not sure if she should use natural wood color or walnut. The unit is south facing and very sunny all day long.She likes yellow for accent colors, but will Yellow be too strong for the sunny unit?
Thanks!

Living Room:
Since your room is smaller using a light and pale color will enhance the light and the space in your room
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
