I need some design help, or inspiration, or hand-holding. :-)
I hope to be in a new, much smaller space in a few weeks, hopefully a condo, but perhaps an apartment while I find the perfect new space for my family, closer to all things work/school/play than my current suburban home in Northwest Austin.
If I had to start from scratch, with no furnishings at all, I would go for a very clean look with straight lines, black or dark brown casegoods, and subtle, soothing colors on the walls that make me think "spa", like sublte blue-greys, or pale greens, maybe a nice neutral lavender-grey. Mixed with pops of color, and textiles with more texture than pattern.
Starting with what I'm keeping, however, I need wall colors that work with more traditionally styled dark cherry chests and cabinets, creme marfil marble (ivory) and black. Dark brown hand-scraped floors, travertine, white cabinets.
Been there, done that with gold/beige/tans, and am so excited to try some new colors.
So, what color would you put on the walls to make it seem more updated, serene . . . (I'll be using the Aura Matte paint from Benjamin Moore).
So, staging professionals out there, here is your opportunity to link in some of your work - articles on your blogs, articles on ActiveRain, anywhere . . . relating to my question, or not.
Put your links in the comments, and I'll move them up here to help showcase your business!
And Austin real estate pros - who do you recommend in Austin for pickiing paint colors?
Ironically, I pick 'em just fine for other people, but I just can't seem to get my head around my own!!!
And, I'll post before-and-after photos, and give credit where credit is due, including links from anywhere else photos are shared.
