Hi Everyone,

Very confused with the colour selection for the tv wall in the living area, please make some suggestion?

Why not try a dark charcoal or black, these colours behind the TV will not detract from the TV when you are watching it.

I would go to a material shop and choose a very colourful fabric ( Bird Of Paradise pattern or Palms ) turn it into a very large picture by either framing or doing a wall hanging. This should set the colour ideas for the room

Doh! Just saw your BR study pix! I wouldn't personally want to repeat the same area, but if you love it, you can. I'd want art. Even black & white art or photos. Something that speaks to you personally so your home doesn't look like a showplace - but like your Home! lol My only other thought is that you don't want it to look too safe - like you couldn't make any decsiions so you just did everything in either black or white. You want the design to look purposeful. Search Houzz for black & white living rooms & you'll find lots of inspiration (which you probably have doen already!). Just for fun, I've attached a couple of pix of an arc lamp we have in our apartment. The globe is glass & my DH hit his head on it & broke it once. That's why it's not really properly placed but is too close to the wall! lol Live & learn! That's the only way to make it in life!

Really good basic decorating. Now accessorise to give it some finish - an indoor plant to hide the extension cord socket, some artwork on the wall beside the lounge, a couple of cushions on the lounge and something colourful at one end of the entertainment unit - maybe a nice bowl. You can even plan a cosy throw for winter. The greens like Helenscolour used will really cheer the area up, but you could use any colours you like. This is the beauty of your basic colours, you can change the accessories to suit your moods or the seasons. Do you need some end tables at all? A lamp or lamps could go on them for some soft lighting if you wanted.

We built our house in 1975 and had a similar problem; A teeny tiny family room with too many doors. After several years of squeezing ourselves into this poorly functioning excuse of a "family" room, which has entrances in every corner bar one, plus an entry into the kitchen and sliding door to outside, in a fit of frustration, I decided that our under-utilised formal lounge/dining would be used as a living room with the TV, although we chose to keep the dining table in that room as it is a long narrow room. I made this change 26 years ago. The family room is now just a sitting area with one 2.5 seater couch and a side table at each end, no TV and is a great space for a few people to congregate in to keep the cook company or just to read. However it would have worked equally well with the dining table there. In any case, because of all the doorways, it is really just a walk-through area, but now feels spacious and "settled" instead of crowded and messy. I can recommend the change.....you will feel much less at "sixes and sevens" with your home.

Wallpaper is another option too & there are thousands to choose from, like these galahs...

Then there are murals and decals that are removable when you want a change.

Well lets face it, you electro add some colour. If you you have brown furniture, or grey you still need to lift this room up. Go to the paint shop and get sample cards and bring them home and spread them around. There's a lovely soft peach shade , think it's called coral...it is stunning if the room is filled with neutral tones. It is a back drop colour, same to be said for any colour. The trick is to soften these colours, we don't want something that screams at you. Come on, be game give it a go and add that colour to the wall...you will be very happy.

Sorry to be the one to break this to you Jaspreet, but you don't appear to actually own a TV...

The advice will partly depend on the size of TV if you acquire one - but the spot says "Wallpaper!" to me, plus plant, or at least a stronger colour than the wall.

I agree that Charcoal is a great choice on wall colour.

Sorry but colour is very personal. I would stay neutral, by going triple strength to the colour you already have, just in that boxed area. That way your wall is not the statement - your furniture and whatever your rug you put down and window furnishings are.

Don't go too out there or you will end up with an outdated room too quickly. Think ugly 80's pink that was all the rage and stick to dressing it up with furnishings. If the wall is too busy with a wallpaper you will regret it.

You need to choose a colour that pleases you but the inside wall of that alcove does lend itself to a feature. If you want more than just paint colour there are paintable wallpapers that add an embossed look to a wall and you paint over that. Check out Bunnings.

You have two options - a wall to make the TV disappear or a wall that is the feature in the room. I think the space lends itself to wood.

Whatever colour or style you choose to go with, my advice is make sure that it's matt. Personally, with your red rug and dark furniture a deep red/maroon wall could look stunning and help create zones in the room.

Looks good, now you can accessorise in your choice of colours for mats, pictures, vases etc, then in years to come whenever you feel the need for a change, all you do is change your accessory colours and you will find a whole new room.
