Styling tips for lounge
Comments (18)The main assets of your space are the beautiful flooring, the bay window, and the fireplace. The couches need to be rearranged to incorporate the bay window into the space instead of blocking it. This would make the room feel much more spacious and elegant. To that end I would swap the piano and TV as others have suggested. I would also get rid of all the beige, which makes the room rather drab. Either leave the curtains off altogether, or have sheer ones in a tertiary colour with matching cushions to make the room brighter. The floor needs a rug for softness but I wouldn't make it too large, possibly a sage green persian one, but with a discrete pattern. I would also replace the coffee table and TV unit as well as the ceiling light and corner lamp with lighter funky modern pieces - this would not necessarily clash with the more traditional feel of other elements. The fireplace might have an interesting classic design but it is totally lost in blackness! I would paint it white, same as the walls to make its design stand out and also make the room brighter. The baroque mirror over the fireplace looks totally out of place and only reflects the ceiling. A large full height frameless mirror for the wall over the fireplace would make the room feel much more spacious. I would limit artwork to a few larger pieces with simple or no frames. A large painting on the wall opposite the fireplace would be reflected in the mirror/wall over the fireplace and enjoyed from most angles of the room....See MoreHow do I furnish my new lounge room?
Comments (31)Hi Roz, Looks like you have a beautiful space with lots of light, great idea to go with a tropical theme and the bar will be a fantastic touch. If you want something a little more casual, have you considered adding a [drinks trolley/ bar cart[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/bar-trolleys-let-the-good-times-roll-stsetivw-vs~56579761) instead of a built-in bar? Also, there are some great ideas in [this story[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/get-the-look-caribbean-style-with-a-twist-stsetivw-vs~76280038) that might help you with furniture and decor. As a lot of other people have said, natural fibres are going to be your best friends, as are lots of [beautiful houseplants[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/our-10-hottest-indoor-plants-stsetivw-vs~27299305) to add lushness and freshness to the space, perfect with all of those windows. Hope this helps, and can't wait to see the finished product! Deirdre...See MoreHow to accessorize a wall feature
Comments (4)Spartan Lady It is a lovely piece - is it a mirror? The proportions of the wall & existing feature are important - the photos you posted don't give a wide enough shot to be able to make a sensible contribution!! However..... Is it possible to hang the piece on both hooks, thus eliminating the need for anything else!! Instead of centring the piece over 1 hook, move the piece slightly to the left & allow both hooks to support the mirror/ art piece Will you be placing any furniture near the mirror? That is going to make a tremendous difference as it will take some of the attention from the mirror Perhaps a chair in the corner or a console with appropriate styling Let us know what you decide...See Morehow would you style this couch and chairs
