"I'm building my house and I need help with your decorating ideas. It is a maisonette and the rooms occupy the first floor.

We are considering wood tile for the bedrooms floor imitating wenge or rovere grigio. We are thinking to choose aluminum exterior doors and windows in dark metallic gray shade. We prefer wenge wood for the internal doors.

I'd love to paint our bedroom in a pretty purple shade or alternatively to wallpaper the wall behind the bed in purple color; I love white leather upholstered bed. I have no idea the best color for the wardrobe, i.e white or wenge and I would like to know your opinion. What would you recommend for curtains, carpets and sheets? Thank you so much in advance."

Options
1. Floors

The wood tiles are a good flooring option because it combines the aesthetics of wood with the advantages of tiles. If you select wood like tiles Rovere Grigio you will have rooms with a modern look.

2. Exterior – interior doors and windows
Choose glass doors in dark metallic gray and interior doors in wenge, which combine perfectly with your floor. You can avoid the monotony by inserting horizontal stainless stripes on the doors.

3. Bedroom
We recommend white color for your bedroom closet, which matches the white bed you like. You can paint the wall behind the bed in a purple shade; alternatively you can apply wallpaper either with floral designs or geometry patterns in red, in purple, in burgundy.

4. Curtains-linen
The color scheme of your bedroom can be completed with off-white carpet and bedspread (ivory hue), whereas for the curtains you can choose thin transparent fabric rich pleated in champagne color.
