Wrong couch?!
Comments (19)Thank you all! Fiona, the tv wall mount would be very difficult to move..this would be a last resort. Old house = asbestos = wanting to minimise major wall alterations! As for putting the chairs on either side of the kitchen door, I tried this before, and did just again, (I'm a sucker for punishment) and it probably would have been a good look, but the front door opens into the chair on the left side of the kitchen door/opening (on the left side when faxing the kitchen). There is a very limited space here, and the door swings through most of it, it is kind of dead space. Although a long narrow table along the wall was my vision for this area - a place to pop keys etc and put some much needed decorative features. The only other variation I can do is to angle the chairs slightly from where they are now, so that they angle in towards each other (with the one closest to the tv facing slightly away from it. There's only two of us and when we have people over we generally aren't watching tv (we don't watch much at all) anyway. So what is the overall verdict, after all that? Do you think we can still achieve an ok look with the configuration we have, perhaps with a different couch and all the decorative features previously mentioned? Or do I have to sell my chairs too? Although not keen to do that, I would if it means having a room I'm happy with. Thanks again! I have felt very supported by you all during this very stressful weekend of managing a decorating crisis!...See MoreHow do I make a really UGLY house livable?
Comments (5)Your furniture will already improve the space. Lounge.. Face your lounge towards fire place. Dark textured rug. Make sure the rug sits just under the couch. Colourful textured cushions. Replace mirror with large clock. Lowline TV cabinet in corner. Bookcase, get MDF cut to fit in the back of each shelf. Either paint or wallpaper. I notice there is blinds in the sun room, so remove the curtains. Then add large colourful artwork. Dining...much longer wall cabinet, large artwork, replace chandelier for a dome pendant....See MoreWhich renovation show really rules?
Comments (41)I love watching all the reno shows, doesn't matter which one, they all have their drama's & drama queen's, that's TV, loved the girls on the last Block, they were the ONLY ones with a bit of class in their design and decor, could not understand why they didn't get a much better result from buyers, especially over the nasty/slobby redhead and her slob of a partner, have to say I hate the Scandi & Industrial design they all have to stick to, to appease those boring judges, there is nothing outstanding in the rooms, they are boring, they obviously ALL have a connection with 'Pin Interest' and 'Houzz' so you know where all the designs come from. Love what "Matt & Kim" are doing here in WA with their 'Renovation Rescue', watch all the overseas reno's, Escape to the Country, Grand designs etc. the interesting knowledge & talent of UK people is excellent when restoring older homes, it would be good to have a section of the Australian shows which show how to do a particular piece of renovation....See MoreHow to style a 2.5 metre wide living room
Comments (10)Top down view Where your couch is currently just an updated leather look with a small table that slides under the couch, sure u can get them at TK Maxx or Kmart Above Fireplace build shelves for lil knick knacks, really easy and cheap diy until you reno and reconfigure your house Taller thinner table with a open shelf underneath, under the tv with shelf of plants above, also cheap and easy diy if you use pallet wood. Under the table is ottomans for extra seating if needed or use as a coffee table. Also a towel rack for a blanket underneathe. Besides the gallery wall behind couch, Suggest using floor to ceiling curtains to cover the two doors just to have a break and section the room so it doesnt look like a walk through, they are curtains too you can always pull them to the side if you need repeated access to the hallway. Bit of a more clear view of what you would see sitting down, the horse art is actually the samsung tv with preset art. Why I picked that wall colour? Because I like the colour and big or small, paint walls based on what you like, its just paint and it makes the wood and white pop and isnt as jarring on the eye if you had a full white wall with mixed colour art on the gallery wall.i.e if your eye sees colour everywhere Just my 2 cents of whats possible, before buying furniture, check your sizes, if that is your main lounging area having chairs instead of a couch sounds uncomfortable. Everything is cheap diy projects that can be temporary fixes until you renovate your home. Use artwork and paint to make it look more exciting than it is....See MoreOi Furniture
