Living room Design Dilemma- which Arm chairs???
Comments (28)Your design scheme has a very traditional European feel. I would continue with this and look at a couple of Louis chairs. The link I've attached shows one with a mix of rattan with an upholstered seat cushion. You can also get them with an upholstered back and arms. However I quite like the rattan for contrast so it's not too matchy matchy with your sofas. http://www.canalside.com.au/productimage.php?product_id=115&current_image=1 You could then add a scatter cushion to the chair. Have you thought about also adding a couple of scatters cushions to each sofa, in a silk or silk like fabric. Check out Kaz's Samara range. Not sure what colour to recommend as I can't see your wall colour clearly but black goes with most colours. Oskuee's rugs are lovely, just make sure the colour ties in with your colour scheme. As you have plenty of dark timber in the room already, consider a glass and metal coffee table and lamp tables in a gold finish. Gorgeous crystal or mirrored table lamps and an ornate gold framed mirror over either the chairs or the sofa to finish off the room....See MoreTV Placement Dilemma
Comments (14)@ann It would be very similar to the one in the picture, with an overall height of 150cm. Cladding is definitely something I considered, maybe white stacked stones or similar. Floors will be dark wood look tiles. @sirius In principle that would work well, but I think the furniture might not fit in that configuration and if they would fit, it would be at a push and block off the walkway to the alfresco....See MoreLounge Room Dilemma
Comments (12)It keeps life interesting to have a Summer setting taking advantage of the view and outdoors, then a Winter setting keeping thoughts inside. The room seems large enough to cater for a few seating arrangements. A 3-seater sofa and two armchairs (which can sit together with a small table between) and a coffee table in centre (to cater for kids play time (have a shelf underneath to quickly hide toys in a basket. Then in Summer the 3-seater with it's back to thecupboard wall - although leaving traffic space and maybe a table where the heater was for flowers and framed photos. Then a decorative chair or two to add spice - even a couple of dining chairs look good against a wall, they can look like artwork. Image 1: this is a clever way to hide a TV. Image 2: interesting chairs together Image 3: Great wall unit and tonal colouring. TV's come as mirrors and artwork these days. Image 4: Dining chairs against the wall and walk space behind sofa to outdoors. A TV is behind the sofa, so not being the focal point....See MoreLounge/dining size dilemma
Comments (13)Can I run this by you all. 1. Extend length of island by 200mm (by reducing passage either side to 1100mm) or keep 1200mm either side and keep it same length as benchtop behind) 2 Reduce island width from 1200mm to 900mm with waterfall ends and 40mm stone top to give "chunkier " look to island but open it up so lounge/dining is larger. 3. Reduce scullery walkway to 1100mm from 1200mm. Or shall I keep it at 1200mm? 4. Where sink is currently positioned by window overlooking alfresco…shall I relocate it to end of island bench or keep where it is? (I will have to train myself, child and hubby to dump dishes in scullery sink, not island. larger3. Reduce scullery walkway to 1100mm? Or keep at 1200mm? 1200mm?...See More
