If you have never held a particular fondness for rooms decorated in pale pink, blue or even neutral green or lavender this article may be exactly what you have been waiting for.

The modern or contemporary home is the perfect setting for the lovely designs in the pictures that you will see. But don't allow yourself to be restricted to a copycat design; allow your imagination to embellish and personalize so that the space is truly your own.
