Modern architecture here is still very much influenced by the Bauhaus-design - clear form, functional, not much a variety in materials. Still there are obviously lots of older houses, some modernised in a classy way. Here's an example http://www.schoener-wohnen.de/bauen/umbauen-renovieren/villa/205232-jugendstilvilla-modern-saniert-3.html unfortunately written in German. There are some before (Vorher) and after (Nachher) shots. The text says it used to be very dark inside. The new owners are an American architect and his Dutch partner btw (o=<br />If asked personally I would go for white walls (German houses don't have coloured walls, don't ask me why), leave the wood as it is, it's great. Maybe allow more light in with more glass if possible in any way, no dark curtains, no dark furniture, carpets etc. <br />Use light-coloured furniture in clear forms - make the space you have not too crowded... <br /><br />I hope this is understandable (o=<br /><br />UtaUtanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-46432891100434835352013-07-17T16:37:35.766-05:002013-07-17T16:37:35.766-05:00Sounds beautiful for a bedroom!

We painted the bedroom in Behr's "Drowsy Lavender" a sort of greyish purply color, and it is beautiful with the dark woods, and very restful. It looks different in different light--sometimes more grey, sometimes more lavender. It goes well with white furniture accents and a cloud-like white comforter on the bed.<br />Laura Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304467170642717891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-82885028013859363442013-07-16T16:26:00.001-05:002013-07-16T16:26:00.001-05:00Jasmina, I'm excited to look at these.
