Need help with living room layout!!
Comments (15)Would you consider putting the TV and its console angled across the corner to the left of it's current location? The sofa would also be angled and parallel to the TV. Your current sofa might be a little too long for that and it might be awkward to move about the room - hard to tell in these small spaces til you try it. Or you might try the TV between the 2 windows on the left wall with the sofa again parallel to it - walk behind the sofa to get to the dining/kitchen area. That way the sofa would also face the front door and be welcoming or at least inclusive of someone walking in. Does the table have a leaf that could be removed to make it smaller? If so, try that and put the extra chairs around the living area, and the leaf could store under the sofa or under your bed. Once you get the big pieces arranged so that you like the look and flow, you can fill in with smaller pieces, rugs, pictures, other items. If possible remove the stool and pile of books on it as well as the pile between that and the TV....See MoreNeed help with my living room
Comments (9)I agree with jmm1837 about the lounge, but I think it might be the hide throw cushions that makes visualisation harder - maybe think about saving those for a different look. Perhaps have the room an ecclectic mix rather than one specific style. Think about light sandy beige (not cream) walls, lighter timber floors, the odd piece of furniture in a lighter timber or that's been limed or even glass topped to keep the room feeling open. Using furniture that has been lime washed and distressed can also work. Because your cowhide sofa's are statement pieces, think about bringing in the beach feel with colour rather than specific objects. You could try using really large abstract art pieces (eg. if it's over a buffet then it have it the width of the buffet, if it's a bare wall then try to use up all the space either using a singe canvas or a triptych) that use beach colours you want to incorporate . Echo the colours of that artwork and even a bit brighter or paler but in the same colour family in your accessories and soft furnishings. You could also incorporate lamps that are glass/beaten silver/rope bases and light coloured lampshades. You might also want to think about a really large fluffy area rug in a light neutral/sandy colour under a glass low coffee table for the middle of your sofa area. On that table you could then feature beachy accessories such as a bowl of shells, a piece of driftwood or low piece of art such as metal fish or a ceramic starfish etc. just keep it simple so it doesn't look kitsch Burlap is great but it can be hard on your hands and sewing machine if your making curtains yourself and doesn't block out light unless your using backing - unbleached calico that is rubber backed is an alternative for privacy if you decide that dealing with miles of prickly burlap is not what you want to do - keep the burlap/calico to give you more privacy as pull across curtains using them to dress the walls on the sides of your windows (makes them look bigger) using a second curtain rod, and use your sheer curtains to give you a beaufiful breezy feel on a more discrete rod (you can even use a curtain wire kit if you're not going to draw the sheers aside). To keep your casual beachy feel think about using large curtain rings on a rod for easy sliding or big eyelets on a chunky rod with distinctive finials Good luck with your project!...See MoreNeed help with living room/dining room colours.
Comments (15)Other colours that work with red are turquoise, apricot, peach, any blues, yellow, even some pinks and greens. (Look to gardens for inspiration, or Old Masters paintings). I'd find patterns with combinations of those, or Vys colours, in a rug, and chairs or cushions....See MoreNeed help furnishing/styling living room
Comments (7)you could have a desk in the corner I presume you have a computer or something like that, and a nice chair , replace the tv unit with something bigger and enclosed so you can hide all the staff you have lying around . Try to get one with lots of drawers it's more practical and it shouldn't be to low , when you're sitting down tv should be straight in your eye sight. Hang most of your artwork on one wall like a gallery wall (behind the to).A large rug would be nice and maybe one side chair or couple footstools for when you have visitors. Table lamp and floor lamp would complete the picture....See MoreLB Interiors
