Hi Katie,

If you have photos to share it will be wonderful. But to simply answer your question - YES! You are going the right direction :)

Do you have a fireplace in your living room? You can do tile work on that wall for extra modern look and the wow effect as an accent wall.

In case you want to have a pop of color, we'd suggest to paint the living room in a different color than rest of the space. It can be blush for calmer atmosphere or it can be teal for dramatic look, depends on you and your furniture/needs.

Good luck!

Yes. You might want to use a darker or lighter hue of the same color in one room. In a bungalow, the space is not broken up. Good way to go.

I think it's a great idea.

I live with kids so the idea of flat paint on baseboards and doors makes me cringe lol. In my home I would go with a higher sheen for more durability and washability. But you know your needs.

Building on what Pam P suggested, using a darker beige or taupe for the window trim looks beautiful and would be appropriate to the bungalow style.

What year is the bungalow from?

1950

If you want to make it more contemporary, keep the window treatments simple, show your wood floors (if you have them) and minimize accessories. Be sure to show us more of your bungalow. I was surrounded by them in the city.

The bungalow's a gut-job so right now it's a construction site. We opened up the ceilings today and are thinking of making an apex ceiling to expand the feeling of space light (hopefully).

It's no longer a classic bungalow. Good luck.
