Modern Home Decorating

Home Decorating and Interior Design Ideas


I live in a rented house and want to update the living room on the cheap. It has a red carpet and curtians which I don’t want to replace. What is the most contemporary style to paint/decorate the walls and create a clean modern look that will go with the red soft furnishings? Any style tips to inspire modern design? I am taking my time to look for new ideas so hope to get some creative input here. Thanks.
Any photo links or websites would be great. Thanks.

IKEA’s website has great ideas for decorating with bold colors. I would go with a cream color for the walls and furnishings to provide a clean yet warm contrast. Use reversible throw pillows to add color accents in the room – soft oranges and yellows for warm weather months and browns or purples for winter months

    Do you have a neutral colored couch? If so, try to find accent pillows for your couch that have a lot of colors in them but that also include reds that match your reds (your curtains, etc.). Once you find some pillows that you like then work from the other colors in those pillows (a pillow is great because it’s easy to carry with you as well to match other accents with). Your walls can be as neutral as tan or as wild as green and it will look great if you mix it up correctly. I do think a neutral color on your walls may look best though with red curtains but shop around and see what you can find.
    Best of luck to you.
