Since your room gets plenty of sunlight your color options are quite broad.Since your room gets plenty of sunlight your color options are quite broad.
For your main color, we chose to use white/off-white as it offers a fresh, clean, feel to the space. White and off-white colors are often a favorite for walls because they are light, neutral, and match most color schemes. They are known to make rooms feel more airy and spacious.
Use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish

Project Title:
Warm and Modern Home Renovation
Project Description:
We have an extreme A frame house and a Cane Corso dog that is a drooler. He shakes his head and the slimy drool goes everywhere, so we need the paint, flooring, and furniture to be attractive as well as easily cleanable. We did a major redo of the house approx. 15 years ago but now it looks dated. Looking to give the combo living room/dining area a pet friendly refresh that is minimalist, warm, and leaning contemporary. At a minimum we need paint, flooring, draperies, and new kitchen countertops, but would like a full recommendation on everything.

Photos of your room:
Items you want to keep:
Room Label:
My Living Room
I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral:
Neutral
What type of sunlight does this room receive?:
Late afternoon light
What do you currently dislike about the room?:
I most dislike the cabinet color and the granite. The floor is a mess from years of large dog and wear and tear, definitely need a pet friendly solution. We have had the same furniture and draperies since we have moved here and other than possibly the dining table everything needs to be changed out. Please see notes on the staircase below.
Lastly, it's obviously an extreme A frame which has always been challenging. We added the dormer where the dining table is and love that. We have never been able to figure out how we could add any pictures or pieces to the walls due to the "A" so they have always been bare, but not sure it matters.

What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?:
The only two pieces that I would keep in the room if possible is the Hubbardton Forge light shown below and the dining room table, if possible.
Are you open to changing your wall colors?:
Yes
Do you have a preference for either paint or wall covering, or are you open to both?:
Open to both
Are you open to changing your floor covering?:
Yes, Rubber Vinyl
Additional comments to designers:
A couple of things to note: the front of the A frame with the glass faces the lake. The front faces west and we get extreme sunlight mid to late day in the summer;
however, there is a large Oak tree that helps. We have had numerous contractors and architects look at options for changing out or moving the staircase. Due to the "A" the only good option was to add another dormer and move the staircase out of the main entryway but this was cost prohibitive. You will notice the staircase interferes with movement in an out of the doors. The staircase is not in great condition (because parts of it are laminated and peeling). Not sure what to do that would be cost effective, if anything.
The cabinets are in good shape; however, they are cherry (which we should have never got due to the sunlight) and have taken on an harsh orange tone.
We have granite countertops which I have hated from day 1 and will be thrilled to change out.
Regarding flooring I checked Vinyl above only because I think that is the only one that would be pet friendly and that we wouldn't have to heat the floor. We are located in the Northeast and something like tile would be cold unless we heated the floor (and don't really want to incur that expense).
It is just me, my husband, and the dog - no kids.
While I do have a contemporary, minimalist style it is important to me that it is a "warm" contemporary (if that makes any sense).

Since your room is smaller using a light and pale color will enhance the light and the space in your room
For your main color, we chose to use white/off-white as it offers a fresh, clean, feel to the space. White and off-white colors are often a favorite for walls because they are light, neutral, and match most color schemes. They are known to make rooms feel more airy and spacious.
Use a satin or semi-gloss finish paint which has a bit more gloss than eggshell finish and is a little smoother. This finish is often used for windows, doors, trim, and ceilings, but can also be ideal walls in kids’ rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and other high-traffic areas because it is easier to clean than eggshell finish.
