Please help my living room!
Comments (9)I don't think you need to drastically change your colour scheme, as you already have very good basis for a colour scheme of blue and brown. Orange is the complementary of blue, so would have worked in your scheme, but if you now use the browns and creams in your room with an 'accent' of blue, you will have a very calming colour scheme - see the attached photo found on blog.styleestate.com. You won't really need to change much at all in your room, as the Moroccan pieces you have are mainly brown. Just change the rug and curtains - perhaps a brown rug like in the attached picture which is contemporary with a moroccan pattern and lighter curtains (blue or cream). Then add cushions and throws in browns and creams, and some Moroccan artworks in brown/cream/blue. If you want something brighter to add some wow, use teal or aqua which is very much a Moroccan colour, you could add a set of aqua Moroccan tea glasses on the coffee table etc. For example, these Moroccan cushions found on ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FAB-NEW-IKAT-MOROCCAN-AQUA-TAUPE-WHITE-CUSHION-COVER-44X44cm-/271774038050?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3f46feb822...See MoreLiving room - need help please!

Comments (12)I actually think the rug you have is a great start , but I actually think you need to look at the bigger picture , and formulate a plan . The end of the kitchen bench looks beige . Beige , of course , is bad haha , and doesn't go with grey . And you have a lot of grey ! Grey kitchen cupboards , grey walls , grey ceilings , grey doors and windows , and in the styled pics -- grey furniture . Call it surfmist , or drab , or overcast , or any of the other 50 shades haha , and its still grey . And to really add to this scene are those 70's tiles . The veranda roof underside looks unpainted or beige , the fence is an off-white . Me -- I'd do the ceiling in white . Just so it isn't grey . The kitchen end , and the cupboard doors -- burnt orange would suit , royal blue maybe , or the bright ornage/yellow or red if you want colour , but I sense thats a No . The outside fence in charcoal , the underside of the terrace roof probably charcoal too , but I'd want to know the rest of the outside colours -- lets hope they aren't grey haha ! THEN you can do the white marble table , the gold legged chairs , obviously the rug , you'd even get away with the grey couches , BUT add some coloured cushions , maybe some light blue and some royal blue to reference the rug . Maybe mid and rich red to reference the kitchen . Even the charcoal might work but it needs something -- a bright lamp , at least 1 large abstract art work in the tones you want -- the reds and/or the blues and/or the yellows -- several colours , and several shades of your dominant two . Doing it now will cost $5-10k , but it will look much more integrated , it will be done , and easier than in a year too haha ! Delay if budget is tight , but I'd personally sooner do that and have a $100 dining table with a $30 tablecloth for the 1st year or 2 , than a $2k or $5k marble and gold one ....See MoreI need help with my lay out in my living room please.
Comments (17)Don’t cut the curtains. There is space to rehang the rod higher. Still leaving them brushing the floor but for the price of a bracket you’ll fix the length problem. Just realised you’re renting. I’d wash the current curtains, you may find that they shrink up a bit and will be fine....See MoreUser
