Giving It A Modern Look

I've been planning on redecorating my living room for quite some time now. At least, I've done half of it; we purchased contemporary furniture, a new sofa and ottoman for this room. The ottoman is huge and I placed it on the middle of the room, to replace the glass coffee table. Instead of having a sofa and a love seat, we only have one seating so that opened up the room a bit. Now all we have to do is paint the walls since right now it is ivory so kind of like white almost. I want to give the room warmth so I plan on having it painted some kind of brownish caramel color.
