I have dark slate flooring throughout my entire home. I really like the contemporary, minimalist style. Can I have this decor w this floor?

My home was built in the early 1950's and has a sunroom (that is orignal). I have found it so difficult to come up with any type of decorating ideas. I love the urban contemporary minimalist style. I am stuck in a rut with decorating ideas? I have tried doing a rustic look - spanish - Italy decore with antiques etc.. but I do not like it at all. My walls are dark warm colors and it is very depressing. I think I went with dark colors because of the flooring as well as the rustic look because the floor is slate and is not smooth. What would you suggest? I almost feel like I am trying too hard and the decore does not go with the home style. I need help????

The dark slate goes quite well with the modern look. You should check out some high end furniture stores for decorating ideas, such as Room and Board. A low profile couch and a bright rug could change everything. A light blue, like robyn's egg could work to make things brighter. Also, bring in plants and minimize how much is in the room. If it is an antique, give it space, you want it to be the center of attention in the area it is in. Try not to have too many centers of attention. Also, one dark wall that goes with the floor and the other 3 as light colors actually make a room look larger, you could go with a gray wall, and then if you put some black and white photos with white matte, it will be stunning.

Of course you can keep it that way; moderate decor with black slate. Maybe you should just try to balance it out with rugs. And also, when you pick a style, maybe it's just that your mixing that particular style with another too much. Try focusing on just the ONE theme per room. For example: when you went Rustic, and Spanish/Italian, do you think a random person visiting your house would be able to distinctively identify that particular style? If not, then, when you pick a style, keep it pure and more true to that theme. You might want to think about adding some light rugs. I'm thinking an earth-toned gold, yellowish 7' X 5', and maybe a couple white ones with patterns. Small to medium, depending on how big your rooms are. Good luck.

I don't see why you couldn't do the contemporary look with this floor. I clean homes for a living and I see a lot of different decors throughout the week. I have found that the antique look goes best with hard wood flooring. With it being black slate you might want to consider browns or greens maybe even a rust like red in the sunroom? Some colors also depend on what acessories you have also. I hope this was helpful.
