Furniture Home Decorating

kitchen lounge decor

last year

Hi! We need to buy sofas for our kitchen lounge. I am thinking to get black leather sofas but worry that it might look to dark in the room. I bought black and white marble dinning table and black chairs. Planning to buy black TV unit and black bar stools.

I need have to find matching sofas.

As above add some timber. I like these pieces that have a touch of black to work with what you’ve already purchased. This is a neutral rug. Are you after neutrals or colour? You could still have black sofas and with the right accessories it will look modern not ageing playboy manor.

That’s a lot of black. Can you post pics of the furniture you have already?

Thanks... same carpet through out, cream gloss tiles in main living area. Black,cream Kitchen. We built a few years ago but have been doing gardens/landscape/fence and haven't decorated much inside. It is an open book. Would be thankful for suggestions on how many pictures or what walls. Does anybody know anywhere to get artwork that won't break the bank?? Also what type of coffee table?

Hi Ange, Megan from online art gallery, Bluethumb, here. I'm loving the mix of industrial and bohemian pieces you have! I believe that a statement artwork above the dining room table would look great, especially one that balances the two interior styles you have working for you. Here's one by a Bluethumb feature artist I think would perfectly fit with the different aspects of the room, as well as the warm colour palette. https://bluethumb.com.au/brewman/Artwork/summer-landscape-ron-brown The piece is called Summer Landscape by Melbourne artist, Ron Brown. I've mocked it up in situ for you, so you can really visualise it in the space. It measures 120cm by 90cm, so should fit nicely on the wall. I have some alternative ideas for you, also from our feature artists, if that one doesn't appeal: https://bluethumb.com.au/george-hall/Artwork/silent-heat-135-x-90cm-acrylic-painting-on-canvas https://bluethumb.com.au/suebannisterartist/Artwork/the-honey-comb-effect https://bluethumb.com.au/haruyomorita/Artwork/Soul-Portrait-2015-1 https://bluethumb.com.au/bradley-kickett/Artwork/bandee-lakes https://bluethumb.com.au/dinah-wakefield/Artwork/last-light-dinah-wakefield Let me know if you'd like any of these works mocked up! Some ideas for styling would be to keep the space feeling fresh with some plants, perhaps some succulents or native flowers on the dining room table. This would fit perfectly with the trees in Ron Brown's piece! Hope this helps! Megan

Oh! Thank you so much. You have no idea how good that makes me feel.😁A Houzz helper suggested this rug on the feral terracotta coloured tiles. I am so scared of colour but I love this rug & am forever in her debt. I thought my husband was going to have a heart attack when I returned from Bowral (we’re in Old Bar-Taree) with that colourful glass bowl on the glass table. At 67 I have finally accepted colour! Lol. Lose the fish tank unless you need it to de-stress, but put it in another room maybe. Any fish we had, died!! Ooh, you have power points too! 😁x Lorraine

The table and chairs are quite nice. I think you can do better on the bar stools. That style is dated. Are you planning on having a rug? Is your heart set on black for the TV cabinet and sofas?

I would go a bit more modern than black in your sofa, love above suggestions , look at a low line sofa, mix with black, timber in furnishings, add a designer lamp, luxurious cushions for a beautiful look

Hi that will be a lot of black. Choose fabric couches in a soft heathered grey. Look for ones that have black legs. This will tie in with the black items as well as the marble table top and add texture to the space.

A large textured rug, choose artwork you love, then compliment with a colour from that into your cushions and decor

Hi Tial, we recently bought the same sofa, Nick Scali, right?

I also didn't go for the ottoman, thought a coffee table would be more suitable.

Love the lounge, it's so comfy!

Really pleased with the mango wood coffee table and an upcycled entertainment unit.

Now on the lookout for some artwork for this vast white wall!

PS. Recommend caution with the head supports. We did have an issue with one failing to lock in place. The customer support team at Nick Scali was great and organised a repair reasonably quickly.

You need some more texture. Everything quite polished, hard and shiny
