Lounge Room Refresh
Comments (35)Jeepers this room needs help. One of those curved lamps would work well in the corner, or a cluster of small pendants. A round or rectangular table at the left hand end of the sofa with a vase of flowers and framed photographs would give a 'come-hither' appeal. A coffee table with art books and decorative items would be better than the round poof. A complete change in cushion covers to bring the whole place to life and more artwork on the walls. An interesting chair would work well too. Happy thoughts....See MoreStyling 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 should we style our hallway?
Comments (16)I like Julie’s idea for multiple matching frames down the left side of your hallway. It could be just enough to draw your eye down the hallway, without changing the depth of the space (that adding a console table would do). I would suggest adding the artwork/photographs (at eye height) along the majority of the wall space (odd numbers look the best; 5, 7 or even 9 prints!) to invite your guests into and along the space. See how it looks with just the artwork added first, before deciding if you even need a console table as well. Good luck!...See MoreWhat colour couch should I get? Or how do I make green lounge work?
Comments (12)Just my opinion and I’m no expert : D If you wanted to hang onto the lounges for a little longer as they are very practical while you have a young child and dogs, I’d look at trying to find a cushion that might combine the colours perhaps? Like the pic attached? I’d also use some conditioner on the lounge and maybe put a bit more stuffing inside the lounge seat cushions yourself. I did this to a Parker lounge and after a clean and leather saddle conditioner it didn’t look too bad. Maybe a big square (so it won’t tip over) pot with a dark green plant like a peace Lilly, cast iron plant or a tall plant could make the green lounge fit in a bit better....See MoreHU-240720030
