I often look at my home and wonder what color to repaint...but I think we have selected the most complimentary color and don't want to change for change sake. Consider that as well - I love the starkness of the white for the style of your home and if you feel you need an update, maybe there are other things you could do, ie: landscape, stone, etc. Not much help in the color department - lol.

More information is needed: How will it be used? What is the view and where? Who will be using it? How many people? Pets? What is your preference of materials? A truly good design address all these issues and more in the programming aspect of the design process. Although hiring a local professional would be great, you can certainly work with a designer via emails, Skype, etc. Good luck.

Hi Pratiksha, From what we can tell from the image, the view from your foyer looks calm and peaceful. For simply elevating the space, try repainting the wall, clearing up the clutter, using similar planters for your greenery and using soft, weatherproof blankets and pillows on the swing. However, if you're looking for a fresh, contemporary look, then we suggest switching out the flooring and the wall tiles for something more minimal and in a neutral shade such as white, grey, beige etc. Also, consider adding some modular storage solutions to house those miscellaneous items such as helmet and umbrellas.
