INSIDEOUT Modern and Traditional Hi A, fantastic house! May I be so bold as to suggest that you first define your style. Take clues from your furniture, art, house, interests, have fun!

irondoors4u Look for one in a bright color will be great.

annapolisg Thanks inside out, we came from a sante fe style so alot of the furniture has that edge, but it doesn't work here. Can I turn it into plantation style in a contemporary? Or just go beachy and neutral to focus on the view? I'm not afraid of color. Prefer warms

Carolina Photo To Go LLC I think antique white would look great b/c it would make your art work really stand out and be the star!

If you choose to go beachy, you might want to consider painting your chairs and the part of your table a white color and add blue cushions (either solid, or striped)

If new area rugs are in order, if you change your theme, look on Capel.com or Target.

If you are in need of other home decor, go to Etsy.com and input what you need in search engine. Artisans and craftsman from all over the US and other parts of the world. I have a photography shop there, nancyhehmann and have a lot of great shops saved under my favorites.

Have fun!

INSIDEOUT Modern and Traditional Hi again A, like Nancy said Etsy (like Betsy) is super cool, it's great to support small artists (ok, blatant plug--I'm on there as well but my art is more industrial-modern). Anyway, back to you...awesome idea to just pull out the natural aspects of plantation since that is so different from your architectural style. Therefore, if you combine natural/neutral colors with your contemporary space I quickly envision many tints of white/tans contrasted by your floors. Lots of different textures is the key to success in this color scheme. With this approach, I suggest you ”test” everything against questions such as ”is this a neutral colored natural element?” ”is this in the white-tan family I chose (remember: those colors can have yellow, green, blue, red, purple, etc undertones which you probably don't want to mix). So wordy today...! Best, D
