Help please.. Dark grey carpet and dark grey couch!!
Comments (4)First thing I'd do is throw the grey carpet up onto the sofa. Meaning it's colour. Introduce a thick grey throw, loosely folded over one of the seats, up over the back then layer your cushions in front of that. Building up onto it will scatter your colour palette around and start bringing it all together. It will be softened. However keep your colours to a minimum, perhaps 2. This does not include tones of colour, as many as you like will add interest and sophistication. In a chocolate and grey interior, it could be luxe, but I am thinking shades of salmon and mustard up against creams and greys. You also need to link your walls to the sofas, as the floor area looks heavy in comparison. To correct it you either introduce the wall colour down onto the floor, or the floor colour up onto the wall, it will balance it out. I'd place large black frames with rich colours of chocolate with perhaps gold leaf or metallics. Keep it abstract to be modern, or even go the opposite with some classic charcoal pencil sketches in a pair of large frames. The images will start to personify your space, so choose the context of the image that you can continue a theme from, like architecture where you can place related objects on a side table, even coffee table, I love tables with reference books that on a Whim you can pick up for inspiration. It shows who you are and what you aspire to. Or it may be floral, landscapes, paintings whatever, find something that works. Don't necessarily go looking for art, you can make it, save an image online, print and frame to suit you and your budget. Even an a3 image can be framed in a larger frame to make a bold statement, just add a frame Matt that you get from a picture frame shop. Ikea also have ready made large frames too. For some reason emerald green keeps popping into my mind when I look at your room, maybe some plants, foliage can liven a space but also, slight little traces of it around can freshen a space. Maybe thin picture frames, or spines of books can bring this in....See MoreHow to modernise living room with old couch?
Comments (22)Hi Lauren! Megan from Bluethumb online art gallery here. It's true that green is a trending colour this year, especially as it is complementary to Pantone's colour of the year. I agree with Julie that some art could be a great way to balance the room out, and I have a few suggestions from some of our local artists. This piece is by Sally Browne, one of our extremely popular Sydney-based artists. It's a print, which makes it affordable, although she does have originals for sale. https://bluethumb.com.au/sally-browne/Artwork/yellow-tailed-grey-cockatoo-frangipani-and-ferns-167209 I've gone and mocked it up for you Some other suggestions I have are from a selection of our other popular artists https://bluethumb.com.au/rachael-higby/Artwork/rock-wall https://bluethumb.com.au/haruyomorita/Artwork/Soul-Portrait-2015-1 https://bluethumb.com.au/martinesart/Artwork/ocean-at-midnight https://bluethumb.com.au/rozanna-johnson/Artwork/sitting-still-rozanna-johnson https://bluethumb.com.au/irina-white/Artwork/the-rock-irina-white Art can really set the mood in a space, so a warm toned piece will help with creating a cosy feel, however something more neutral or cream will keep the space feeling relaxing. I've included pieces that cover both colour schemes. As your couch is quite a statement piece, you want to make sure your art is also quite large so that it doesn't get drowned out. For something with a little more edge, contemporary photography is a great option. https://bluethumb.com.au/photography/stuart-chape/artwork/jump-stuart-chape https://bluethumb.com.au/photography/megangeorgephoto/artwork/nature-meets-industry https://bluethumb.com.au/photography/alex-frayne/artwork/rainbow-on-barngala https://bluethumb.com.au/photography/alex-frayne/artwork/nightvision https://bluethumb.com.au/photography/pennyp/artwork/thalassophile-3 https://bluethumb.com.au/photography/martine-perret/artwork/sel-rose-6-martine-perret With styling, I'd suggest lots of textures - think cream blankets with heavy knits, faux fur or a different type of knit cushions mixed with accent colour cushions (draw from your art piece for the accent colour) and some plants to breathe life into the space. Let me know if I can mock any of these other suggestions up for you. Hope this helps! Megan...See MoreHelp me choose colours for my new living room

Comments (35)Hi Polly - we have a number of gorgeous triptychs that may be just what you're looking for! Azure Bay, K'Gari (Fraser Island) and The Daintree would look stunning! To suit your 300 cm long sofa, I would recommend art that is approximately 75-85% of that total 300cm width you're working with. Each triptych in our collection features 3 pieces of art that were designed to be together! In your specific case, I would recommend our 30x50 inch size. Each of the 3 artworks measures 30 inches (76.2cm's wide) by 50 inches (127cm's tall) - therefore, the 3 pieces in total would measure 228.6 cm's wide. In addition, allowing for some negative space in between each artwork, you will find that these stunning pieces would fit your space beautifully, bringing balance, beauty and gorgeous colour into your world. We are happy to offer a 'virtual proof' of this artwork in your space so you can see how it will look on your wall prior to order - simply send us an email with a photo of your lounge with the wall behind and we will work our magic for you :). Our triptych's are available as classic canvases, professionally framed fine art prints and boxed framed canvases, all delivered within Australia. We're also proud to offer 10% off all purchases over $150.00 to all Houzzers ... simply enter code HOUZZ at checkout. Please don't hesitate to contact me via the website www.thewildheartcollective.com or via email nik@thewildheartcollective.com if you require further assistance - we would love to be a part of your wild heart :). Here is our Triptych - Azure Bay :) https://thewildheartcollective.com/collections/triptych-family-art-collection-set-of-3-matching-artworks/products/azure-bay-triptych-3-artworks?variant=18436007854169...See MoreVy
