Styling help
Hello Houzzers
I have always struggled with styling the chest of drawers in the photo. I want something classy, but not too flashy. The drawers and mirror must stay, but all other items can be used elsewhere. Any pics or suggestions are most welcome! Thanks!

Console Styling Help
Comments (52)With a console your items on top should have either the tallest item in centre and graduate height on either side down or to do the reverse height order with tallest item at sides To highlight picture smallest item in centre Picture is hanging too low If keeping ottoman there (I would move as distracts eye) Get rid of throw from this area its top much...See MoreNeed styling help
Comments (1)Have you considered a chunky framed mirror for over the buffet? I'd then style the bench top with a large ceramic bowl filled with big deco balls in rattan. A bigger lamp with a glass base and linen shade would complete the setting. The other console table would look great with an arrangement of blue and green glass vessels. Have fun with this!...See Morepaint and style help!
Comments (15)How about Woodland Grey for the roof? We live in an area with loads of trees and our roof looks amazing against the backdrop of trees. Blends in, but doesn’t disappear. I think the roof definitely needs a change of colour as well as a change to colour of gutter ( same colour as roof) and add more gardens on the front. Lots of colour in the garden will make the house stand out. Get a professional to paint the railings and make sure they use a good primer such as ESP. Otherwise start your gardens and think colour!...See MoreStyle help!!!!!
Comments (7)Gorgeous floors, soft colours look beautiful, rattan, white highlights, even going a dramatic stylish look with a hint of black would look fabulous...See Moregirlguides

7 years agoA table runner would help tie the pieces together, then try the vase of flowers to the left with just the horse & the small plant.
Maybe a flat decorative tray to the right of middle holding the candle/lantern, the gold ball trio & the light coloured carved piece.

Things in groups of three or odd numbers look better & a balance of height & colour. The light carved piece is competing with the flowers instead of showing off & the look at the moment is too heavy on the left hand side.

Maybe something bold - playing with the traditional symmetry of the chest + mirror. Have you considered 2 lamps, and perhaps a few framed artworks of various sizes?(this is a 3D render by our interior designer for a client's hallstand design)
But maybe for yours, select very elegant, modern & tall lamps. Consider bringing in the metallic theme which is huge this year... clashing super modern with traditional actually works really well, so don't be afraid to try something unusual.

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoHi kimvanlogg, re your current styling. Because your mirror is more long than square, I think it needs to be hung on the wall higher. Change over the metal objects, to the side to sit with the vase, then on the other side, group togetherthe cream cone, the plant and the candle holder, I would remove the giraffe. Here are some ideas which I like, preferrably, I would hang or stand the mirror on its end to one side, similar to one of the pictures below, I would then hang two square pictures, same colour tones but of different or similar subjects, with rich frames, one under the other next to the mirror to balance the look out, or you could have a square and an oval picture or brass plate, if you do this I don't think you need a runner. I like the other two pictures below with the lamps I think would work well in your space. They could be more contemporary/more your style, with nice fabric shades to introduce texture. Good luck and pictures please!
