9 years ago

±' m tying to do up this
living area space. Its an open plan room with living area on One side of kitchen that has Mint green walls, light grey tiles and a hint of the
Purple benches. Its away
from t he light outdoor area, The couch is rusty red. The plan is to get two O re seater chairs. I like the studio type look that is very warm.

You have a lot going on texture-wise so I'd probably keep it simple in terms of rug texture or there'll be too much going on at once. Warm would do well in this room though, so that's good! You mention it's away from the light outdoor area, is this photo an accurate representation of the lighting you normally get in this room?

So in summary, you might want to have a look at rugs that don't have much texture, and are a bit brighter in colour to help brighten up the room. Below are just a couple of examples of rugs that could work, and one more neutral example.

Actually, here's a few more closer in line with your existing wall setting. The others might be a little too colourful for your liking!

Thanks Laura. I wish I had one to show you. The after photo is about 2 steps forward from the original shot. Where the computer is in the 'before' shot is now a beautiful entertainment unit.

Look for a piece of carpet and get it edged. Ask at carpet shops to see remnants or off a new roll

Do you have any furniture you are wanting to put in there ? Does any of it have any colour ? I like the light floor colour , the rest let's just say it is a good neutral base . I'd start with a new front door -- a darker varnished ( glossy ) wooden door , or possibly even a blue to reference your outside . Then add colour via furniture ( or at least cushions ) , rugs , and artwork . Again , maybe several different blues would tie in with the floor , but also the exterior . If there are only blue exterior highlights , you may want to go for warmer colour inside -- reds , yellows , oranges -- again , ties in with the floor . To this end , I can't understand why people go with 117 shades of grey and offwhite and wheat -- live a colourful life is my attitude , as long as it is themed haha !

Love that chess set! I would keep the rug very simple and not too dark in colour- maybe more of a thatched matt? I think an original piece of art like Annette Spink's 'With tears in my eyes 1' would look lovely too :)
