Comments (68)A suggestion that the professionals use and makes it SO much easier choosing colours - and then the perfect shade of that colour. Get a paint swatch of the Hog's Bristle - or paint a little sample card from leftover paint. Bring home 5 or 6 samples shades of navy from the paintshop to get the the closest shade/tone of navy to your couch. Armed with those - and a sample of your bench colour - hit the shops with confidence! You will see easily which yellow, or which Marsala or which 'whatever-colour-you-choose' looks great. There are many shades that might look like they work in the store, but when you get them home will be NQR,,,,you know, not quite right....and you still may not be thrilled with your room. It's a simple and almost foolproof way of choosing colour and has worked for me throughout many renovations.Couldn't do it without those little bits of colour! Have fun......See MoreNeed help decorating the strangest-shaped living room ever
Comments (17)I think the problem is actually not so much the shape of the room but the fact that at the "pitch of the roof" part you have a large full length window and fireplace. Essentially, because of all this there is no wall to put your back against or place furniture against. My rectangular room has similar issues with a corner window facing the fireplace. We just put the kids toys there on the floor and low kid size stuff like a toy box. You can't put any large pieces there. So, I say, start by completely ignore the top triangle of the room. Its essentially dead or unusable space, but will add to the feelings of space and light in the room. Arrange your large furniture pieces in the bottom square portion, around a large square rug perhaps that would define the space. It might feel better that way. Then arrange your other bits around that. I think if you try to work the square it will be way easier to organise the room. Emphasising a square layout will feel more comfortable. Plants in that light bright corner was a good suggestion, they soften the angles. Hope that helps!...See MoreNeed help with decorating my living room
Comments (41)Hi there I think that adding in wooden decorations and real/fake plants can help bring a bit of life in to your space. And the tones of plants and wooden/nature looking items work really well with neutral colours. They can be both cheap and expensive depending on your taste so finding a bargain or something to suit your needs should be quite easy. If you want a more elegant look marble decorations even if small can be a great way to add a look of class. Candles are also a great way to add in some nice smells to invite people into your home. Keep in mind that sometimes less is more. Don't overdo it and have some fun! It's nice to shop for your home....See MoreNeed help with lounge room decor
Comments (27)Make the rug the statement piece! We recently styled this property and have been bombarded with questions where its from. Check out Bayliss Rugs or order through us and we can help determine the perfect size for the space too. For the coffee table- stay away from the white "cold theme". The coffee table pictured is from La Maison (also can be purchased from us).To get in contact: 1300 669 590 or kahlia@cordonydesigns.com.au...See More

Here's an example of one in action...

5 years agoI was referring to the two end walls. You have the one with the chairs marked 8'5" and the one with the love 11'1". This chart might help get the height right when shopping for end tables. You might consider a coffee table and a floor lamp instead. Put the floor lamp between the two sofas Then put a pair of lamps on your credenza, and a side table and lamp with the two chairs. If you do find two end tables, you could put one left of the love and one right of the large sofa with matching lamps. Art over the sofa should be no wider than 75% of the sofa's width and hung 5" above it.

Maybe add some shelves with plants or make an indoor plant wall near the windows?
