Contemporary Drapes

I need advice for wall and window treatment color?

I have a tan sofa and burgundy red chair. I have an area rug (room size) in a somewhat traditional pattern of burgundy red, tan, gold and some Turquoise blues. My woods are dark mahogany. My walls are currently a light beige with milk chocolate trim, and the doors are dark chocolate brown. my current window treatments are roman shades in a paisley that is shades of tan, brown, reds, and blues (I made them). I am thinking of a light turquoise blue for the walls and a darker turquoise for drapes over the roman shades. Room is small. I am trying to go from a slightly traditional look to a somewhat contemporary look. Any suggestions, or critiques?

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a gray wall color like "gibraltar" (# 6257) would look terrific with the turquoise curtains. IMHO, if you were to do two tones of turquoise it would be a bit too much.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

Are You Interested In Contemporary Decorating?

Contemporary design can easily be created in any room within the home. The master bedroom in particular can look elegant and sophisticated if done correctly.

When it comes to decorating your home, it can be very difficult knowing what style to choose as there is such a massive range to choose from. Also if you have no ideas about decorating it can make the task ahead even harder and so having an idea can make things a lot easier.

If you are stuck for ideas then you may want to consider a contemporary style which offers a sleek and stylish look to your home. You can use this great look for any room in the house, whether it is for the master bedroom or the living area. It adopts its great looks by using minimalist accessories and combining it with beige tones that use black and white accents as well. By using a contemporary design it helps to provide any room with an allure of modern design as well as creating something that you can be proud of.

Using a Contemporary Style in the Home

When it comes to windows for the contemporary look, using window treatments is a good way to get the maximum effect for the room. You will want to choose a minimalist look for either drapes or even valances, and if you are after privacy you can use blinds or sheers to help with this.

If you are stuck for inspiration or ideas then you can get many ideas from the many different sources which are available. There are many home improvement magazines available that can really help you by giving you step by step guides and there are also many different sources available on the internet. You can even find home improvement programs on the television that will help to walk you through the looks that you desire, so finding a contemporary idea that you like is not really overly difficult.

If you are trying to create a contemporary style in the bedroom then a bed and bureau which match each other will help you to create a striking and elegant look. Adding sleek furniture will help to give the room an interesting appearance and generally it is better to choose darker wood to get the desired style.

The lighting in the room is something which you also need to consider with a contemporary design. It needs to be modern so anything with chrome is definitely a good choice. Ideally you should have table lamps which add extra lighting when needed and in the master bedroom a table lamp is a necessity.

To complete the look you should focus on the flooring as that can really help to combine everything and finish off the contemporary design. Always ensure that the flooring matches the color of the rest of the room and if you want carpet then opt for either a shag rug or short pile carpets. Generally rugs which are either black and white or beige in color can look really good.

Overall by using neutral colors and by keeping things simple you will easily be able to create a contemporary style design. Make sure that you make the rooms within the home as personal as possible as whilst a contemporary design is simplistic, it still should reflect your character as well as your homes character too.
