Interior Design Help please? My mom has given me a huge project over summer, to design our downstairs. I need help though. We have a Mediterranean feel throughout the house (very light tan carpets, mainly light tan walls, white trimming, dark mahogany kitchen islands & counters with granite counter tops and white ceilings) I don't need to focus on the kitchen area. I need to focus on the walls and how to set the room ... like carpets and tables. We already have most of the furniture we need, a large leather mahogany colored sectional and a fabric print chair & ottoman mahogany and tan- ish colors. we also have metal & glass tables, a flat screen tv that has ugly cords that hang down because it is mounted on the wall that i hope to cover. I am supposed to use as little money as i can and to use modern style to the area. So if any body can help me that would be wonderful. Thanks :D !!!!

Interior design help!? So I want to paint one wall (my focal wall which is also where my bed and window is) either Antique Bronze or Brass using Modern Masters Metallic paint. I want to paint the rest of the walls a more pale gold or yellow color using regular paint. My question is, would it look tacky if I painted all of the trim the metallic color? So that the trim stands out against the light wall color and blends in with the accent wall? Thanks for the help!

I need some bedroom design advice? Hi everyone, Thanks for taking a look at my question. I am a guy and I just turned 16. I asked my parents, as part of my birthday gift, if I could have my bedroom remodeled (walls are baby blue from my younger years, old furniture etc. - it all needs to go!!!) - and they said yes. I don't have that much of a design "sense", if that's what you would call it, so I'm looking for help here. I'm unsure of the exact dimensions of the room, but my house was built in 1986 if that helps. I'd say the room is about the size of the interior of a one car garage. It also has one window. My uncle had a new double sized mattress left over from his guest bedroom when he sold his house, so he gave that to me and I am waiting until I get some advice before I put it in my room. I want my new bedroom to have a bold and "manly" look, while being modern, simple, and clean. I found a nice bedspread, and I would like to design the room around it, but I want to choose the right paint so that the room doesn't look like a cave (bedspread here: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11026874 ) . My floor is also a beige-ish shag carpet, if that helps. Any opinions on paint colors for the wall, lighting options, headboard options, bedroom furniture (computer desk, bureau, mirror), accents, and the like would be greatly appreciated. I do like brushed metal as well - I might be replacing some lightswitch covers and outlet covers with brushed nickel, silver etc. covers - any opinions?. Thanks so much! Picture the room as a square in your head. The door is at the bottom left of the square, there are two double closet doors ( [][] [][] ) on the right side of the square that take up most of the wall, one window on the wall opposite from the door in the middle of the room. The ceiling is 8 ft tall, the room is 13.5 X 13.5 feet. I don't really have a budget, I just want the room to look nice. But I don't want to go out and spend thousands of dollars. Yes, the mattress has a box spring.

Question for interior designers, my house needs decorating!? Hi there, I'm trying to design my new house and hoping someone can give some creative advice. The house is a patio type home, very floridian with the tile roof and all. We had the opportunity to customize the home and choose to do a tile floor throughout the house (we have two dogs and it is so much easier to keep clean). The tile is a golden brown color. It is very open concept and the living room and dining room and in the same space as one huge rectangular room. The kitchen sits right outside that rectangle but is open to the space (you can walk from dining room straight into kitchen with no walls.) The ceiling is huge and vaulted to one side. It angles up. So my design style is very modern, almost industrial with some beachy chic elements too. I would really like to do a semi circle couch and a glass dining room table. My only concern is that tile floor. Would a modern/industrial style be okay? I also have a problem with wall color. The room is just so huge and I don't want it to be some boring beige. I love jewel tones as accents and adore teal and aqua marines. I want the furniture to look like it belongs in the home but at the same time, I don't want it to be traditional. The neighborhood is so cookie cutter that I feel like guests should be shocked (in a good way) when they come inside. Also, for the bedrooms. Again, the tile floor is in there and I'm wanting to put in some modern furniture but ideas would be great. Also material ideas. I love glass, steel, any metals, dark woods and very light woods. Any ideas are welcome! Thanks!

i need ideas to decorate my room? i have a small sqaure room, with bright mint green walls. the colour is similar to - http://dallaspartytentandevent.com/images/products/mint_green.jpg - in that link. i guess it could be taken for cool or warm depending on ligthing and such. i much prefer warm tones. i have dark modern, angular chocolate brown furniture including a tall boy, queen sized bed, coffee table, makeup desk and and 2 bedsides <<all matching. the skirting boards and such are white and i have light cream carpet. i am 15 yrs old and heavily interested in music and fashion. i need space for my guitars and amps. the music i like is punk, heavy metal, screamo ect. btw im a girl. the fashion i like is much like taylor momsens and jenny of gossip girl season 2. i love interior design but i like modern french vintage sort of themes. lots of warm tones like red and coffee and cream. unfortunately im not allowed to repaint. and i dont like the idea of covering with posters as it looks tacky. i want ideas and color schemes if anyone could please suggest any? and i dont want it to look like a kids room, more like an adults or those modern pent house apartments or hotels haha.

Color palate for bed room? Hi, I wanted some suggestions on what colors to use for a new, fresh and relaxing feel for my bedroom and or almost edgy, slightly sleek, and sexy room. I am definitely open to ideas in-between a more modern look and a vintage field, how ever if your ideas are more modern, I don't want it to be to polished and crisp. My main piece of furniture is a (ca king) white head bored (new) and one large/tall dark almost black dressers from my previously designed room. *from the hight of this headboard I plan on raising it just a bit so it don't seem too low compared to to the dresser. http://www.lafurniturestore.com/san-remo-leatherette-modern-bed.html this photo below is something I consider for a modern design, because it is slightly warm but a clean contemporary look. http://www.hgtv.com/designers-portfolio/room/modern/bedrooms/1369/index.html#/id-1751/room-bedrooms/color-purple However my choice in a head board is different so how could I bring a similar color palate to suet the white head board I love. or we can lean more towards a vintage look. More up to date though, like a sleek and sexy kind of way. to knock it out of the ball park, I'm interested in vintage wallpapers, more so like this photo below http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/174604/174604,1230594540,2/stock-photo-vintage-room-interior-22571128.jpg How ever, I can't stand the thought of it being on all four walls. Maybe a wall or two, one being on the same wall behind the head board. What could the other two wall colors be? I also have to lamp shades from target that has a very similar designed as the wallpaper, but it being black and white. Another idea I love is having two large/tall black and white photos above the head bored if I am to use wallpaper. I would like to also hear your intake on other ideas/color to go with the headboard. and I would like to know what I can do to combine my ideas with yours into a finnish look. -wall paint -comforter/pillow color -carpeting -curtains -etc Colors I Like: a range of dark and medium violets medium-light teal deep red dark pinks whites & light cream color Colors I would prefer not use: oranges yellow light pink the color blue its self including baby blue any shades of tropical green and GRAY Thank you for your time and I can't wait to hear your ideas (:

What color scheme should I have for my room? We just moved out to California and are renting a house for a year. My bedroom has dark brown carpets and a creamish white color on the walls. The closets are mirrors with a gold trim in case that helps. I love interior design but the house isn't permanant so i don't want to spend a fortune either! I'm 13 and want a modern french look. I really like the scheme of red, black, white and gray in a bedroom but with the brown carpet, I don't want to use cooler colors. I want a very serene, calming place where I can relax, study and read. The house has a more modern farmhouse feel and is very quaint and cute. It needs to be practical enough for 13 13 year old girls to be in but also, like I said before, calming. Remember I would like: ~French inspired ~Modern ~Fitting with a brown carpet and light cream walls ~Calming and serene ~Practical enough for 13 year old girls And most of all ~Cheap enough! I'll only be in the house for a few more years until college! Please help!
