Sitting room
Hi I wanted some decorating ideas with my sitting room. As you can see I have started with adding the large mirror and other lovely pieces . However I am now stuck on where I can go from here. I do know I don't want to keep the coffee table and the TV in the room.
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Many thanks

Comments (4)This looks like the room is at least 7 metres long? I am not an expert but have you thought about groupings of couches and chairs? do you entertain a lot or is this simply for a family? I would have a group that fitted around the tv for my family and then add more groupings and tables to take in any view giving it that party room feel. However you need to think about how the room will be used. Latest advice I hear is don't make the tv the hero of the room but we all need to see it too....See MoreWhat is my sitting room missing?
Comments (35)You have made some good improvements thus far. I agree - you need to add some colour. Firstly a rusty orange or mustard cushion onto your green chair. Definitely not white. Choose a throw the same colour for the couch. I would look at patterned cushions for the couch - There are some cool bringing in all the new colours. I am wondering how a muted cobalt blue would look as an accent with the rust and olive and mustard. I would consider a rug change if you need to once you have finished. I would look for a recycled piece you can up cycle in a bold colour to go on the wall with the word art. [ not sure it really works go for print of some type or a mirror ] This could provide some storage with drawers etc. If you want to keep the cane - paint it in a colour possibly the same colour as a new piece for the end wall. You could use this wall as a painted or papered feature wall. I would look at reframing your pictures in white - different sizes and textures. I agree about the tv cabinet- take your time to find what you like to upgrade.. It looks like there might be a lot of dead space between the living and dining - it may not be possible but if you could move it all a meter or so towards the dining room may balance things a bit. All the best it's amazing how each little change adds up to a completely new look....See MoreNeed help with sitting room
Comments (22)What a lovely room, my thought are: - agree that the couches should be rearranged, away from the largest window to let in more light - if you are buying new couches, I'd go for a lighter colour (if you don't have young kids) and some cushions perhaps with a pop of colour - coffee table could be rectangle or round - either glass or a light colour timber - some wall art, floor standing lamps, mirror and indoor plants would also help to brighten up the space - roller blinds would be my choice as I like that they let in a lot of light, but if you prefer curtains then I'd go for a light neutral colour (white/cream) Hope that helps :)...See MorePlease help me furnish my Lounge/sitting room at the entry way.
Comments (8)I'd ask the question from the opposite point of view . What will closing the lounge off achieve ? It may make it look dark , it may make it look pokey , you have Bed 5 the other side of the entry , and although that presumably won't be used much , I'd actually be more inclined to try and hide that door . If you are worried about a steady stream of people heading to the stairs or kitchen , disrupting the people in the lounge , then why would you put the lounge there in the first place ? Enjoy the space , or move the lounge would be my obvious observation ....See More

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoThis is a similar layout ... chesterfield across from the fireplace, like others have said, pulled in closer, away from any walls. You may not need the pretty settee in that room at all if it is too crowded or place the settee where the chair is in this image, squared-off with the chesterfield, then perhaps you won't need your chair (although I love your chair). Staying traditional in style you might look for a very faded patterned rug that is similar in this photo. Don't force two sofas if they don't fit nicely ... it is better to have one that is the centerpiece. The settee might go in an entryway if you have a large entry. Also for sure remove the TV as it cheapens your beautiful furniture. Have fun!
