Accessorising Hague blue front room!
7 years ago
Hey guys!
First time I've used this so forgive me if I don't make sense haha.
We are currently completely decorating out new build property's front room. We have gone from a drab magnolia wash to having an inglenook fire installed and painting the whole room in dark blue paint

Comments (23)Hi Marta, Nice place you've got there :) First of all, it would help us to help you if you give us some ideas on what type of style interests you - Scandi, traditional, modern, tropical or industrial etc. Post some photos of interior you that you like. Also your lifestyle will be a major factor. e.g do you have kids, dog, busy life style, likes to entertain etc. In my opinion, the rug is too small & the couch is over-sized yet small - it would look nice stretched out, if that makes sense. If you are not looking to replace the couch, move the futon to one of the ends of the couch instead of opposing it to open up the space & create elongated look. But the rug definitely need to go. Go for something big to compensate the size of the couch & highlight the nice large space you've got there. Also, I would not place my couch blocking a window - move it away so you can actually enjoy the view and also so sections of your couch doesn't fade by being exposed to sunlight. In terms of injecting colour, i wouldn't go crazy buying too many colourful furnitures - generally colours are very easy to introduce once you have nice key pieces that go together and show your personality. Focus on the big pieces and the arrangements and then move on to smaller/ decorative items. In your kitchen, I think little bit softness & curve could be introduced as it is very linear and angular, so maybe this type of bar stool?...See MoreDoes my kitchen need something else?
Comments (45)Great job Deanne. You know working on a budget gets you creative. I think everyone needs the experience for appreciation sake............. enjoy your space and be proud of the simple fact you have your own home and it looks fab. It's a great achievement....See MorePaint colour for a country kitchen?
Comments (40)To be a voice of dissent, have you considered soft greens or green-grey? I've got Baltic Pine floors, pine cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and black tiles in a BRIGHT west-facing kitchen. I went with Taubmans Swiss Meadow double strength and it compliments all the different elements. If you don't want something "obviously" green, check out Taubmans Alpine Snow (double) - it seems to change colour in different light. It's a pale green in full daylight, but looks soft grey at night....See More- 7 years ago

- 7 years agoMy living room is painted Hague blue and I feel that the dark colour works best when it frames light colours and in fact got rid of some leather furniture because everything being deeper coloured didn't work in my opinion as well as lighter furniture

- 7 years agoHey guys! Thanks We got our sofas in this weekend and put our spider chandelier up along with a wall light and a few frames. I've attached some updated photos! The wall above the chair is the only corner I feel looks finished ha!!
So here I am, back for more help from you lovely people! My main questions are:
The two empty walls could do with something on them. We have ordered a bright painting for above the fireplace so don't want to fill the room with too much art. Any ideas for what I can put up as an alternative? Mirrors? Plants? Shelves?
The hubby wants me to come up with a plan for putting some kind of shelf/low table behind the smaller part of the corner sofa.
I feel like I've seen super slim console tables but don't know where to start looking!
What would people do about the windows, we used to have curtains which made the window seem smaller and killed some of the much needed sunlight. I am stuck between a roman blind or shutters!! Help!!
Thank you all for your lovely help so far :-)

- 7 years agoHi Kevin, cheers for the compliment! The fireplace was installed by a company called Piping Hot Stoves based in the North East. Starting with a flat wall they built an external fireplace with brick and then knocked through to create an inglenook.
Great for if you want a fire but don't want to lose square footage from your room.
I've put a few before, during and after shots and a pic of the inglenook from outside the house too :-)

Loving the room, everything is looking great! If you're still looking for what to add to the empty walls, this mirror would go well alongside the wooden decor and brown sofa. The slick bronze will also contrast nicely against the blue walls.
Classic Bar Square Mirror - Bronze
you can take a further at the mirrors we offerhere.
hope this helps a little and we'd love to see the room once it's completed, good luck with everything!
