Finishing off the Family Room
Hi Everyone,
The family room is looking a little blah and needs an injection of something (probably colour and texture!). The colour scheme in this room is in photo below - floor lamp shade is the first swatch followed by the wall colour and couch. Floor lamp has a black metal stand.
Looking for:
A planter with stand but not too sure what to go for - black, wicker or gold
A rug to sit on ironbark floorboards to coordinate with couches - not sure if sisal rug would work here but would need to be at about 3.5m x 3.5m
Cushions to pull it all together
Decor for the glass coffee table
Also, thinking of putting a blue/teal abstract print in the family room but not too sure if adding this cool colour scheme to the family room will work with the warm colour scheme.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)

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!

Comments (29)Cloudpants awesome inspiration photos gave me an idea .... I'm just wondering if the lounge rotated to be length ways behind your dining chairs (facing towards the laundry/fire) with a large rug down and then perhaps a couple of recliners opposite (in front of the laundry door) with a coffee table in between might help define the space a bit better - but it might be a little small to accommodate that idea? Also thought perhaps a barn style slider door on the laundry might help to hide it and add a bit of a feature on that wall?...See MoreOk to have powder room off central hallway?
Comments (14)Do you have any original floor plan you can post, will this toilet be the only one. If there's enough space where the toilet comes off the hallway you could have a door opening off the hall and a hand basin for a powder room setup and then another into the WC for a good sound barrier. What space are you you considering...See MoreHow do I squeeze a family room into a big dining room?
Comments (13)I think I remember this, you had a breezeway alfresco running between the dining and the bedroom wing, this table would have fitted into that space beautifully A rough idea to consider remembering the scale of the furniture. I would run a sofa between both piers with a return on the RH, add a single arm chair and a TV on the wall. Other than that build out the room by extending the alfreso to fit the table , adding another table for the family along with lounges...See More
