what would you change about this decor in the built in?
Comments (10)I would add some color. The only thing you see at first glance is the picture on the TV and the red bottle. Everything is nice but all seems so lost with a monochromatic feel. If you don't like using colors maybe some mirror tiles would brighten everything up so it stands out better. I would put the mirrors on the right sides of the "cubbies" to reflect the natural light coming from he left. I would also put an LED strip to backlight the TV and the uppermost spaces, especially the top right....See MoreHelp! I need advice on Family Room Paint/Fireplace/Wall
Comments (24)@BeverlyFLADeziner I am liking that! Any suggestions on a blue paint color? Thoughts on if this rug could be placed in the room? (Pic of our current family room) or too much blue? https://www.potterybarn.com/m/products/bosworth-tufted-wool-rug-blue/?cm_cat=Google&sku=9076063&catalogId=84&cm_ite=9076063&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0cX79KG96AIVOv_jBx1m0gEnEAQYASABEgLD-_D_BwE&cm_ven=PLA&cm_pla=Rugs > Patterned Rugs Any chance you could make fireplace maple again but keep everything else blue?

Comments (11)Some nice greens and gray-greens above above. I think whatever color you choose for siding should be darker than the current white, but not too dark - just of equal visual weight to the brick below. More of a midtone. Light colors come forward, dark colors recede - thats why theres somewhat of a disconnect between upper and lower parts. Getting those more in balance visually will help. Maybe you intuitively know this and thats why you want to paint the brick (white I assume - to balance out the top)? But why take a route that involves expense, frequent maintenance, and if wrong products are used - spalling and deterioration of brick, mold issues. The breathable mineral based stains are indeed a much better option but my opinion - with an antique house (yep, yours is close if it isnt already) at some point the value is in working with what you have instead of making inalterable changes to it merely to follow latest fads. You still have plenty of room for updating color schemes and integrating new or contemporary elements into it in an eclectic kind of way. My opinion - red brick is classic, entire ancient Roman towns were built out of it - used on up through current times. I dont know about your neck of the woods but its still in use here in midwest for new construction - in context of contemporary color schemes. I think the current dislike of it is just a blip. Sorry, i just cannot think of one single reason to change it ..... if that's what you are looking for? If previous owner has already painted or messed with it, maybe.......See MoreJennifer Hogan
