Vision in Red

White semi-gloss paint colour on the frames makes the most of the tall windows. A daring red paint colour adorns the walls. The tablecloth picks up the red on the wood table. Imagine this interior by candlelight.

Modern Style

Modern design keeps it simple, avoiding ornate decoration and expressing the modern spirit through clean lines, geometric shapes, the latest technology and materials such as metal and glass.

Modern Paint Palettes

Whites, off-white and neutral paints are the rule for modern walls. Use colours for trim and accents. Consider every element in the room before you settle on a palette. Furniture, rugs, picture frames, tile—it should all be complementary, part of a harmonious contemporary design system.
