AfterTian and Yan Huang moved to the United States 12 years ago. After buying their first home they filled the rooms with the Chinese influences of their youth. Now, they're ready for a change in their master bedroom. They've recently purchased new contemporary-style furnishings and want the team to blend the two styles for an updated look.
The Dilemma
Kristan Cunningham and design coordinators Dave Sheinkopf and Spencer Anderson discuss the design issues at hand, including the lack of color, mismatched lighting scheme, wasted space at the foot of the bed, the bland closet doors, outdated accessories and the lack of natural light coming through the wood blinds.
The Solution
Here's how the team achieves a contemporary Asian design using color and updated decorative elements.
- The walls are painted a warm green color to act as a neutral and help counteract the dark wood furniture and ceiling beams. They paint a soft yellow rectangle in the center of each closet door to complement the straight-lined furniture and architecture.
Inexpensive molding painted in a darker color adds character and dimension to the simple cornice boxes.
